So the Cruz pacs will donate to veterans if they get something out of it.

PACs have a responsibility to their donors who, in this case, contributed to help support Cruz's candidacy. Donating to needy veterans is a great thing to do with your own money. It would be a misuse of donor money when that was given for something else. In this case, the pro-Cruz PACs have made a calculation that highlighting Donald's fear of another debate is worth the small risk that he will change his mind and actually show. And if it shames Donald into the debate, it is worth the investment to create an opportunity to contrast style and substance one more time before voting begins in earnest.

The problem with this whole “race” is that Trump is self-funding, so he doesn’t have to concern himself with legal expenditures, getting support or even having coherent positions to get support. People seem to like this Daddy Warbucks approach, though, so I guess in the future all presidential candidates must be self-funding billionaires. In other words, able to buy all the publicity, travel, etc. that they want as it takes their fancy - and buy the election.

I think we have a problem with the way we fund elections. Frankly, I don’t think candidates should be allowed to do it without getting money from outside sources, or we will have nothing but the mega-rich running in the future.

Ya never know. Fox may decide to toss Cruz softballs all night to try to make him look better than Trump.

Fux VP Sammon has his daughter working for Rubio, so that is why Rubio got softball questions last fux debate.

I think Cruz is unfortunately in the crosshairs at the debate.

None of the candidates can participate in debates not organized by the RNC. This PAC offer is bogus.

Good observation

Trump’s through with the debates. He doesn’t need them. He can decide who will come to him,not the other way around.
