It seems as though Ted Cruz is getting just as much mileage out of Donald Trump's decision to skip the Fox News debate on Thursday as the Donald himself.
"I would propose that our campaigns evenly divide available seating/ticketing," Cruz wrote in a letter to Trump. "Our teams can jointly work on the logistical details." He also recommending having Levin, Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh serve as moderator, and said "if none of these proposed individuals are acceptable to you, I suggest that instead we alternate in fielding direct questions from the audience. I look forward to your timely response."

Cruz also started offering a very familiar looking cap in his online store — a sendup of Trump's "Make America Great Again" hat that says "Make Trump Debate Again." It can be yours for a $25 donation to the Cruz presidential campaign.
