Discussion: Cruz Challenges Trump To ‘Mano-a-Mano’ Debate Before Iowa Caucuses

This whole thing has become pornographic…

exactly

Exactly. Why is it a glow-in-the-dark white guy like me knows what mano-a-mano means and he doesn’t?

So, it REALLY HAS come down to a “dick-waving contest” in Cruz sociopathic little mind.
School-yard taunts and aspersions to the opponents lack of manliness.
See? “Rock-Ribbed Conservatives” really ARE just 9-year-olds in $3000 suits.

He should accept but only on the condition it takes place the same time as the Fox debate … Either Cruz’s or Ailes’ head explodes that night, would be a chuckle.

I knew this would go off the rails at some point, just thought it would be much sooner than 5 days before Iowa. The establishment GOP has to be in a frenzy.

  1. Donald Trump is refusing to debate because a right of center talking head from Fox News asked him a moderately difficult policy question? Or because she asked him a completely legitimate question based on his past treatment of women? Either way, his camp is refusing to debate because, wait for it, he won all the other debates based on online polling! Lolwut? (I’m interested to see how this plays out as a strategy though, seems like a ridiculous mistake considering it doesn’t matter what he says in debates he always retains his core support. Now he risks losing the support of the “well, I guess he’s better than Ted Cruz” crowd).

  2. The conventional wisdom is that the more endorsements you rack up, the better you will do. well the top is currently Jeb Bush with 51. Ted cruz is in sixth with 17 (mostly Texans and nutbags like Steve King). And the Donald? Dead last with 0. Not one congressperson, senator or governor.

But that doesn’t matter in this race! This race is all about the celebrity endorsement ratings! Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are competing for the biggest names in Christian televangelism and reality stardom.

  1. Meanwhile, the rest of the crowd that had any chance of rallying the potty-trained Republicans all have such galaxy sized egos that none of them will drop out and throw their support to any of the others. They just beat up on each other and hope that they can get a couple extra percent in the polls.

“We’ll do 90 minutes, Lincoln-Douglas, mano-a-mano, Donald and me…”

I would pay to watch them mud wrestle naked. Lincoln-Douglas, not so much.

“One-two-three-four. I challenge you to a thumb war”

Mano is hand in Spanish.

…thus appealing to the baser of their base.

Cruz should say it in English, Trump no speaka the mexy can

I think the should actually have a combover-a-combover debate. See who’s combover stays in place better when the other is blowing hard.

JCBlues: he’s really challenging him to an arm wrestling contest…

snakes don’t have arms.
