amanda carpenter and jeffrey ward, former reagan white house political director, both conservative writers. also christian anderson, columnist for the conservative washington examiner. jeffrey, your quick reaction to what you just heard. >> well, that was amazing. i have to say. they have been friends for decades. so it's very interesting there. and if there was a milk shake bet, i'm pleased to hear that, you know, somebody is going to keep their end of the bargain. but i don't think he's going to reconsider. i would be -- i would be surprised. i mean, at this point he's got this other event scheduled in the same time frame. so i think it would be impossible. although i must say, it certainly would be a touch of drama if in the middle of this debate he walked on the stage. >> amanda, putting your loyalties for ted cruz aside for a moment. is there an upside in all of this for donald trump? i've heard some of his supporters say, look, he's showing strength. rush limbaugh saying he's going along with this process that is rigged against him or he feels is rigged against him. do you think there's any up side for trump

jeffrey. you hefrd what donald trump said about ted cruz's citizenship. jumping the shark on happy days. is this another birther battle? >> anderson, what he said -- and frankly, he said this last year in march, not that he's ineligible but somebody might file a legal challenge to his eligibility and there's a difference there. let me just read you two sentences from florida democratic congressman alan graceman who said last month -- and i'm quoting directly here -- "i'm waiting for the moment that he, ted cruz, gets the nomination and i'll file that beautiful lawsuit saying he's unqualified for the job because he's ineligible." i think alan grayson is wrong. ted cruz, who i have terrific admiration for is not unqualified by his canadian birth to an american mother. donald trump's point is that there's always some nut like alan grayson out there that will try and challenge things and, frankly, we already know that this guy anticipates doing that. >> amanda, is that all that trump is doing here, raising the possibility? >> listen, in september, donald trump and ted cruz appeared together at a rally to stop the iran deal and there d
