Ted Cruz: Trump Is ‘Afraid’ to Debate
Breitbart ^ | 04/20/16 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/20/2016 8:23:27 PM PDT by writer33

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.

1237 it is then. Your boy doesn’t get there! Trump maybe does or he does not.

Pack this away and sleep on for the rest of your life...the rest of your family’s life.

The citizens voting have overwhelmingly, to this point, have found “ted cruz” less electable than Trump! We have deemed him less acceptable.

The only candidate that ever speaks and is focused “our country over party”...Trump! Flamboyant, senate stands in an empty chamber with 2-3 other “establishment” yukinhiemers with no results...the established mr. cruz.

Here’s the “splice”...

Libs have taken over education...the young vote is gone! Don’t believe? Every one gets a trophy, if you have an “out”, just declare you are an “inny” at heart...You get to go pi$$ in the opposite sex bathroom. Worse yet, the deviates get free reign. Yet, there is no establishment opposition.

No chance cruz wins the women vote...doesn’t support open/free women’s health issues (planned parenthood), they deem him a monster.

Obamacare...the repukeicans bailed and allowed in the minds of the opposition this is a “right”and...now the “R”’s own it now. Mark my words, a republican lead effort will be forthcoming to save it or restructure it with 12 months.

Illegal immigration? We have elected individuals favoring people crossing a border without regard for law, demanding benefits and receiving our precious reaming funds . These same people fly their flag in the face of the average American “Joe/Jane” busting their ass everyday to make ends meet, paying their taxes (up and down the local to federal scale). Oh, and by the way, I give a “snit” less that these poor folks have to pay “state and local sales taxes”. This holds no quarter with me and has no basis whether they “have skin in the game. Fact is, the game is set-up now for them. You and I are just the “fund site”. I don’t give two shits whether Mexico pays for the fence, just build the damn fence! I would rather fund it myself, least I get a sense of accomplishment.

Meanwhile, your boy “pretends” to have a pair! I’ll explain it for you this way, we citizens are tired, we are angry and we aren’t taking the “establishment” crap any longer. You Cruz supporters want “another pathetic debate”, kick your game up about another 270 delegates. Get within 20 prior to the convention, maybe Mr. Trump entertains a “telcon”. Otherwise, here’s the reality...

You lose! Wear it and own it.

If you win, in a 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th or more ballot/vote, you will still lose!

Best to you and yours

If Trump were the power hungry individual you claim he is, he would have run for office years ago. It’s quite shameful the way you disparage the character and motives of a man who has stepped up to the plate at great financial and personal risk to himself, financed his own campaign, addressed important issues that no other candidate was talking about, and took the heat for bringing many of those issues into the mainstream.

Your harsh judgment of Trump is not based on a rational assessment of the facts but on your petty dislike for the man. You could use some humility as well as gratitude for a fellow citizen who is willing to offer his talents and leadership to help bring this country back from it’s dire straights.

I am NOT impressed with Donald Trump,mainly because I’ve seen his business record and the trail of bankrupsies he has.As far as a substantive debate,Mr Trump would be unable to defend his ideas,and would resort to his usual pattern of bullying and obvuscation of facts.

Cruz didn’t win five elections in a row, he won one election and four rigged establishment con jobs. Bastard is an irrelevant candidate except to the Cruz cult class, which is shrinking every day. After next week, only the most insane will side with this lunatic.

Dingbat Cruz 11 times you debated Trump on stage.

And let's not forget that Cruz, in those 11 debates, could not make his case to the American people.

I saw Trump on the stage during some debates and Cruz was there too. Why would Trump waste his time debating Cruz (who no doubt has been polishing up some really nice sounding speeches as he fantasizes about beating Trump at something) when Cruz is out of the race except for possibly being selected by GOPe cronies after Trump (the people’s will) is stopped.

Scruz had plenty of time to debate but always kept his mouth shut. Cruz lies too much for someone to debate

Cruz is so full of it that when Trump wins and moves to the Whitehouse Cruz will be whining about Trump moving into public housing a black family was forced to move out of.


That is so perfectly written. Truth and satire in one package.
