Republican presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump have been attacking each other over Trump’s boycott of Thursday’s Republican presidential debate.
Cruz’s campaign is now selling “Make Trump Debate Again” hats, poking fun at Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” The hats cost $25 each.
Trump announced Tuesday evening that he will not participate in the Fox News debate. Since his announcement, Cruz has been encouraging Trump to debate him one-on-one:
I challenged @realDonaldTrump to a one-on-one debate. Tell him to accept: https://t.co/wUZHtRpaj4 #DuckingDonald pic.twitter.com/xjCvjS7yyx

Trump responded to Cruz’s challenge Wednesday by mocking him and questioning his eligibility.
Trump tweeted:
Even though I beat him in the first six debates, especially the last one, Ted Cruz wants to debate me again. Can we do it in Canada?
