Wednesday while campaigning in Hershey PA, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)said his rival Donald Trump was “afraid of a debate” with him because he lacked “substantive solutions” on policy.
Cruz said, “What I agree is that the Democratic process works, and Donald whines and complains when the voters reject him. The voters are going to decide. We’ve won five states in a row. Donald won his home state, which surprised nobody. And it’s the people — we are seeing Republicans uniting behind our campaign. Because if Donald is the nominee, Hillary wins and she wins by double digits. The stakes for our country are too great to continue down this disastrous economic road and this foreign policy that empowers our enemies. And so I couldn’t be more encouraged at seeing the unity we are having across the country. Donald’s desperation had everyone wanting to just give him the race. It shows that he’s scared when the people decide. You know, if Donald had confidence in his positions, we’d have a debate in Pennsylvania, before Pennsylvania votes. What is Donald Trump saying to the people of Pennsylvania that he thinks they don’t deserve a debate? What does it say about the corrupt big government Democrats that they’re willing to have debates. That Hillary Clinton is more willing to have her positions challenged than Donald Trump? I think that’s disgraceful. I think any candidate owes it to the voters to defend their positions.

I would like to know in what major areas Cruz and Trump disagree.
Levin undies. LOL
writer promised that there would be MUCH more cRuz bot, er, supporting posts coming from him/her.
Making good on that promise?
have you ever ran an organization with thousands of people?
no? that explains why you can’t recognize leadership.
just his management company employs over 22,000. through that company he also runs over 500 companies
that’s called evidence of a lifetime of leadership
Cruz lost 11 debates. Heck he might have lost the debate trump skipped. We had six debates to many.
No, he isn’t just another candidate running in the primaries, he is the one who is winning.
>>>It’s time to DO something. Like build a long tall wall.
And then let them get touchback amnesty to hire them for your hotels and golf courses.
Hey, Trump Inc. can get some of the construction money, he has pals that are connected in the concrete industry.
Sweet deals. Politicians? No problem. Don’t need campaign bribes if you’re president; you can ok some pork and let the taxpayer schlubs foot the bill.
Cruz wants to look like he is equal with Trump and he isn't.
At least writer ADMITS he/she is a paid cRuz disrupter. Most won’t admit that.
For that, we'd need to be in the same universe.
You are yelling at thin air, and I am letting you know that you are.
Your points would be strong, if they addressed what's salient.
A man can always be right, if he doesn't address what's in front of him. Usually, eventually, he will be dead right.
Hillary and trump will have 3 debates. That is a normal number. 12 is. Not normal especially when they scheduled them very closely together. Dems had 9. I predict they are done.
He is going to get them quite easily.
I have seen much better debaters than Cruz
"Desperate is as desperate does"
Granting a debate to you would be akin to giving a bout to a contender with a 12 and 20 record.
It would make the Champ look like he was weak.
Cruz is flailing and is close to being DONE!
So you’re telling me your solution was a decade-long liberal democrat whose been buying off politicians for decades, paid fines for hiring illegals, has three families, thinks Planned Parenthood does good work, and can’t even define what conservative means?
Yes, he and his supporters seem to be oblivious to the rising disgust with Cruz among the GOP rank and file.
Not going to a second ballot.
“Do we want a bitchy debate club champion or do we want a leader? There is a lot of difference between the two.”
And do we want to give another smarmy Candadian Haaavaad lawya any more air time? Please! His voice is enough to gag a maggot!
