Cruz says he's willing to participate in debate with O'Rourke on CNN
The Hill, Oct 12, 2018, Chris Mills Rodrigo

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Friday that he is now willing to debate Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) on CNN, the Associated Press reported.

O'Rourke was previously scheduled to appear solo in a townhall in McAllen, Texas, on Oct. 18. Cruz had initially accepted CNN's invitation to join O'Rourke, but later declined earlier this week.

Cruz's announcement came during a campaign stop in Houston on Friday, the same day O'Rourke announced that his campaign had raised more than $38 million in the third quarter of this year, a haul that would rival that of a strong presidential campaign.

The Hill has reached out to Cruz's campaign for comment.

Cruz was always willing to debate Robert Francis. The fake Hispanic declined and CNN offered the town hall which Cruz knew would be an ambush. I'd love to see Robert Francis lose another debate but I doubt CNN and their golden child will agree.
