Trump is hardly afraid to debate cruz. He’s withstood the fire from 17 candidates, the rats, the media, tens of millions in attack ads, and last but not least, his own party. They’ve thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him and he’s still standing.
Trump is “avoiding” debate with Cruz...that’s pretty obvious. I don’t think he’s afraid to debate Cruz, he just knows he’ll be up against one of the best and it won’t look good for him if he’s not well prepared....and preparation is a difficult thing for someone who is still using political training wheels.
Trump has NEVER requested to go 1-on-1 with Ted. When America starts paying attention right before the convention, they’ll remember that.
