“We’ll do 90 minutes, Lincoln-Douglas, mano-a-mano, Donald and me,”
I read that and I didn’t know whether to laugh hysterically or sob in my coffee.

Only a douchebag begins a sentence with “You see,”

Does Cruz speak Spanish? He might want to look up “mano-a-mano” unless he plans on either grappling with or holding hands with Trump.
Actually, that would be good television.
he’s really challenging him to an arm wrestling contest…
No, he does not. He turned down a debate in the 2012 Senate race in Spanish, admitting that he doesn’t speak the language.
It’s a bit desperate, but it has very little downside, since the RNC pretty much hates both candidates. If Trump were to accept,expect to see Rubio and co. pitch a huge hissy fit. And expect Cruz to take some more incoming fire over merely making this offer from everybody else on the stage.
Since Trump is germ phobic and doesn’t even shake hands I daresay Cruz could win an arm wrestling comp.
Gawd, Cruz is insufferable though. This “private” debate is just a way to show that he or Trump are the only viable candidates. .
Trump: I am confused as to why we have rapists from Canada run for POTUS? Has anyone seen his(Cruz) long form birth certificate? Me neither.
Unless “mano” translates as “cretin,” I think Senator Cruz is misusing the term.
More douchebag-a-bidet than mano-a-mano.
Trump’s aghast, “Cruz has a Mano too? Incredible. Great guy. Mine’s from the Philippines. Is his?”
Cruz trying to act all macho just makes me giggle. He may be a bully on the debate team but that’s about it.
Whenever I hear Cruz speak, I hear a revival preacher in Bumfuck, Texas, who moonlights as the “magic slicer dicer” pitchman at the local home & garden show.
or that neither is viable… just vile…
It would be better if neither man left…
You know, the GOP primary has really been amazingly sad. First they cut times with NBC because they didn’t like the moderators at the GOP friendly CNBC debate, now Trump is refusing to attend the VERY GOP friendly GOP debate. So Cruz challenges him to a 1 on 1 debate, which of course the other candidates are going to barf all over. And the RNC frets helplessly on the sidelines.
Like I said, the only thing I am sure of that will be an outcome of this race…is Reince Preibus is out as the RNC chair.
I read an article about that speech not too long ago. Originally, he wanted to do a Josey Wales piece and make the Dems out to be native Americans…lots of speaking in forked tongue and other over the top offensiveness. It so freaked out the coordinators that they put a kabash on it instantly. Eastwood was disgruntled, but then saw an empty chair and on the spur of the moment, came up with this idea instead.
So, strange as it seems this was actually nicer than what he wanted to do.
