Wow. Ted Cruz has responded to Donald Trump’s decision to skip the Fox News Debate this Thursday in the most epic way possible. He went on the Mark Levin radio show, where a lot of Trump’s supporters live, and in one statement a) called Trump a coward, b) challenged him to a one-on-one debate, with c) Mark Levin moderating.

.@tedcruz: “If @realDonaldTrump is afraid of Megyn Kelly… let’s have debate mano a mano before the Iowa caucus” @marklevinshow moderates!

Thank God a media outlet finally called Trump’s bluff. If Trump’s complaint really is that Megyn Kelly is some sort of unfair crypto-liberal, and Fox News is involved in some conspiracy against him, then Cruz has eliminated all those objections in one fell swoop. And since Iowa is a two-man race by now anyway, Levin would probably get better radio ratings than a television debate on Fox News anyway.

Your move, Donald.
