Fun Twitter banter about TABOR between Americans for Prosperity’s Michael Fields, former Colorado State Director turned education guru, and mouthy Democratic Rep. and Attorney General candidate Joe Salazar turned into a challenge that the two debate. We would absolutely pay to see Fields mop up the floor with Salazar on the too-often-maligned Taxpayer Bill of Rights – the only thing standing in Democrats’ way of raiding our pocketbooks.
We suspect that Salazar knows he would look spectacularly clownish at a debate against Fields and AFP, so it’s no surprise that he and his Twitter troll friends are dodging the opportunity. At issue is whether TABOR should be repealed (it shouldn’t). Here are just a few of the cowardly tweets Salazar sent while trying to avoid committing to a debate:
If we were doing apples and apples I would square off with @Everett4Colo instead of you. But we would end up telling jokes and stories.

I also said you’re intellectually dishonest. So, what purpose would come out of such a debate when you’re not there to listen?

I understand you get paid for every intellectually dishonest tweet, but this conversation is for adults. Go play with your toys. #copolitics https://t.co/z5rpuZeAml

What’s Salazar so afraid of? Why won’t he debate Michael Fields?
