So-o-o-o, Ted Cruz wants to take on Donald J. Trump in a one-on-one debate, eh?<\/p>\n

He said yesterday he is willing to go “mano a mano” with The Trumpster, a fellow Republican presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

The young Republican U.S. senator from Texas is misusing a Spanish phrase that has come to be translated loosely to mean “man to man.”<\/p>\n

It actually means “hand to hand.” I would think the son of a Cuban immigrant knows better.<\/p>\n

Which means that Cruz is challenging Trump to a fistfight. Or perhaps\u00a0a fight with\u00a0clubs. Or brass knuckles.<\/p>\n

I get that he means face to face, man to man. But come on, Ted. Say what you mean and mean what you say.<\/p>\n

Frankly, I believe I would pay real American money to see these two fellows actually go mano a mano.<\/em><\/p>\n
