FOX Debate Monday from Exciting Utah! ...Gonna watch?

Well, Trump said there have been enough debates, he's going to meet with AIPAC to explain his positions regarding Israel.

Then there were two, just Kasich and Cruz and one empty chair.

So then Kasich realized if he was given half of the debate time, he'd put the audience to sleep and all he really wants to do is eat rubber chicken and go to the convention.

That leaves Cruz with a great opportunity to have the entire debate to himself, next to two empty chairs.
What an opportunity for a champion college debater, a chance to appeal to all of the remaining primaries and delegates.

I already have plans to watch Better Call Saul, but I'm sure Cruz will win the debate if he shows up alone.

 

GOP Debate Plans Unravel as Trump, then Kasich, Say They’ll Skip It

Plans to hold a 13th Republican presidential debate next week appeared to be unraveling Wednesday as two of the three candidates still in the race signaled they wouldn’t participate and tourism officials in Salt Lake City said the event had been cancelled.

Donald Trump, the overwhelming leader in the delegate race, said Wednesday he would skip Monday’s scheduled debate in Utah in order to address a conference of a prominent pro-Israel advocacy group.

Later on Wednesday morning, a senior aide to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, whose campaign took on new energy the night before with a primary victory in his home state, said the candidate would bow out of the debate if Mr. Trump didn’t attend.

A spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Fox News, which is scheduled to host and broadcast the event, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

What a shame Kasich wouldn't face Cruz alone.

He can't pretend he had anywhere else to go.

 

Is somebody going to tell Ted Cruz?

 

"Guaranteed Annual Year!"

 

Cruz could have had it all to himself, and Utah is proportional and full of his Mormon Mafia, so he could have had a Glenn Beck supplied cheering squad, with Bishop Romney's blessings.

Maybe he realized how tasteless that would be, or maybe he takes Utah for granted.

And maybe he feared horrible ratings while everyone channel surfed looking for Trump speaking elsewhere on another channel.

AMC has Better Call Saul marathon for bingewatchers, from 6:00 on. Ted feared being beaten by re-runs.

Ted also feared being all alone with nobody there to blame, huge risk of failure. HUGE.

He's no Clint Eastwood, he might get beat by an empty chair.
