Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas says GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is scared to debate and that Mr. Trump looks down on voters, counting on them to believe whatever he tells them.
Mr. Trump, citing a prior commitment to speak at a policy conference hosted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), said Wednesday he would not be attending the GOP presidential debate that had been scheduled for March 21 but was ultimately cancelled.
“His excuse is silliness, and it reflects his assumption that he thinks the voters can’t figure out that he’s not telling [them] the truth,” Mr. Cruz said on Wednesday evening’s “The Kelly File” on Fox News.
Mr. Cruz pointed out that the conference hosted by AIPAC is a multi-day event — it runs from Sunday to Tuesday — and Mr. Trump’s schedule would likely have been accommodated.
“He chose to speak right in the middle of the debate [because] he’s scared to debate,” Mr. Cruz said.
“And, you know, he just, he looks down on the voters,” Mr. Cruz said. “He thinks they’re gullible and will believe whatever he’s saying. So I’m going to be in D.C. for AIPAC as well since Donald is running away from the debate. I’m happy to debate him there. If he wants, we can debate foreign policy, but the problem is, Donald doesn’t do very well in foreign policy [because] he doesn’t have even a basic modicum of knowledge.”
Mr. Cruz said he’s happy to debate Mr. Trump in Utah, where the Fox News debate was to be held, or Washington, D.C., or anywhere else.

Cruz = Lyin’ Ted
Loser
Why is it when I see Cruz, my immediate thought is “TOFU”.
Not an acronym but the soy product. Tofu when used in cooking takes the flavor of the other ingredients, in the recipe. Tofu is not a stand alone meal.
I really don’t care for tofu, give me a medium-rare Trump steak!
He will be, yes.
Verkackte
what does it gain for him, Ted .....nothing
Don’t ask me. Those are Trumper’s numbers, just from the last few days.
Who says Cruz is not qualified? Courts can do that. Congress can do that.
Quote your source. Otherwise I will assume it is just your seat-of-the-pants viewpoint. Interesting, but of no value.
You may or may not like Cruz but you cannot dispute his
depth of knowledge of the Constitution.

That is true. But he can’t seem to demonstrate leadership skills which are
very important in bringing a populace together for specific goals.
Yes, Trump is a bad idea.
And Joe Biden will be president because of his supporters.
But there is little to be done.
The score that counts, actual court cases:
Cruz: 4
Birther Fever Swamp: 0
“NBC” stands for No Body Cares (least of all judges)
100% serious.
Your funny.
The entire “lyin-ted” slander trump worked up ruined any ability I could muster to support trump.
Sorry, Lyin Ted is true. Carnac Cruz has no way to know what’s in Trump’s taxes yet that doesn’t stop him from smearing Trump about what MAY be in them.
Seven of us in AZ care, so we’ll vote Trump.
I can’t take credit for the “Mr. Haney” alias, it was another FReeper whom I can’t recall, but I agree, it does have some humor value to it. :-D
BTW, glad to know I don’t owe you a new keyboard! :-)
Way to go Suz.

There are many sources and been posted many times here,if he has proof then let him post it. Same story different day let MR. Constitution prove it. Perhaps he is the chicken you should be worried about.
Ted knows better. He knows that if he was in Trump’s shoes now that he’d say, “Why do we need another debate? Everyone knows my views and positions, and everyone knows Mr. Trump’s. There’s no positive result, and if it ends up being a big argument like 2 of the other debates, all of us will end up looking bad. You want a debate, fine - but I won’t be there.”
But he’s trailing, so he NEEDS the debate. Trump doesn’t, and everyone knows both of those things.
