Discussion: White House Spox: Obama Never Turned Down A Debate

TPM Article Topics

It isn’t the extemporaneous equivalent of the OK Corral or a Bruce Lee set. If Ted Cruz really wanted to debate Obama, he could have run for his party’s nomination in 2008 or 2012 and won it. After that, sorry, no dice. It’s easy for anyone to say that they’ll debate a president and then claim a win by default. Do you actually believe that’s how it works?

By the way, how much of a constitutional scholar do you consider Trump to be? Because after several debates, he is kicking Cruz’s ass up one coast and down the other.

Trump walked away from the last debate with Cruz’s nuts in his pocket.

Cruz clerked for Rehnquist, and you’d think he’d know something about SCOTUS and the Constitution, but just the other day he said that even if SCOTUS ruled on something (his citizenship perhaps), it shouldn’t even remotely be considered law. The guy’s as stupid as he ever was, and the president has more important things to do than debate stooopid…

TPM Headline:

White House Spox Jabs Trump: Obama Never Backed Out Of A Debate!

I think we can all agree that Donald Trump is no Barack Obama.

It tells you how much of a circus the GOP primary shitshow has become that I honestly don’t know whether that’s satire or fact.

Much as I dislike Trump, I have to admit that was a golden moment for him - the look on Cruz’s face as he slowly realized he was about to get pwned, hard, is a moment to treasure.

I think liars in the oval office. . . I think george w. bush. . . All those ellipses. . . and exclamation points. . . don’t add up. . . to a hill of beans. . . or even a small pile. . . of credibility
