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.

So, you’re rootin Hillary! over Trump. Got you pegged.
Pathetic. Cruz is behind, cannot get the delegates for a clean win, and now is begging for a debate.
Too bad Ted
Because if Donald is the nominee, Hillary wins and she wins by double digits///
Cruz is projecting here.
Hillary is beatable but not by Cruz.
You might remember how Claire McCaskill was beatable. Then Cruz clone Todd Akin went against her and got beaten in a landslide.
The same will happen to Cruz. I’m already reading in the MSM about “ultra right winger Ted Cruz.” Significant percentages of GOP voters called him “scary” in the outpolling. Hillary will mop the floor with him.
Only Trump has the guts and issues to take it to Clinton. He has shown multidimensional genius to get so far in the primaries on a shoestring budget and minimal staff.
Ted, put your Trump hate aside and go away so we can win this thing.
I understand why they’re supporting them. That doesn’t mean I am supporting him. And I’ll continue to support my candidate until he is no longer in the race.
What about when Hillary refuses to debate?
“...When the first candidate gets to 1237 delegates...”
-
That will happen on the first ballot at the convention.
Trump won’t be able to get the delegates either.
Well...we’ll see how it all shakes out.
That’s funny. We say the same thing about you too.
I have a topic for your debate, Cruz
why should one candidate stay in who didn’t obtain 50% of his home state?
Cruz is a career government employee. Time for him to go back to his day job
How pathetic. Cruz is a complete loser
Who’s “we” bucko, you got a Cuban-Canadian mouse in your pocket?
“I see no evidence of leading that he’s showed anywhere on the campaign trail. None whatsoever.” — Writer33
“It means you have a lead in delegates and nothing more.” —Writer33
So, Trump is leading in something? You are terrible with words.
That’s exactly right. Trump, if nominated, will get maybe three debates. And that’s it. He’ll have to string together some coherent thought and articulate conservatism or it’s four more years of Obama.
cRuz is simply grasping at straws. What else has he got?
Delusion and denial runs strong on some foljs
There is a fine place for Cruz supporters, they'll vote for Trump when he wins.
It's the Cruzers who need to go.
A prayer for the Cruzers: May the Cruzers.....may the Cruzers......may they be far from us.....
apologies to "Fiddler on the Roof"
Supporters of Ted Cruz. That’s the “we” bucko.
