Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (Photo: Twitter)
Two Super PACS for Ted Cruz pledged to pay $1.5 million for military veterans’ causes if only Donald Trump would agree to a one-on-one debate with the senator in Iowa before the end of the weekend.
The PACS, Keep The Promise I and Keep The Promise II are primarily funded by the Mercer family and the Neugebauer family, respectively.
In a joint statement reported by Breitbart, they said: “Senator Cruz and Mr. Trump both respect the veterans and hold them in the highest regard but Senator Cruz respects the process and we are calling on Mr. Trump to do the same and debates are the purest form of democracy. Iowans and Americans deserve to hear from the front-runners in this ‘two-man race’ one last time. Not only would this be a heck of a debate, but it would also be a terrific opportunity to generate millions of dollars for the veterans.”
The PACS said the debate would be limited to Cruz and Trump, and it would have to take place before Sunday. The PACS also said the debate would last a full hour, but the candidates could pick their own moderator, so long as they both agreed.
The Super PACS put out a press release about the plan, saying they were “offering presidential candidate Donald Trump a truly fantastic deal, pledging to donate $1.5 million to charities committed to helping veterans if Mr. Trump agrees to debate Senator Cruz in Iowa. This money is in addition to the millions of proceeds available to the veterans as a share of the revenues that this debate could secure from a host network.”
Cruz already gave the nod to the offer.
“We have a venue, we have a time,” he said, during a Des Moines rally, Breitbart reported. “All we’re missing is a candidate.”
It’s not yet clear if Trump is on board.
