Congressman Jim Bridenstine: Ted Cruz is ready to be our Commander in Chief (Video)
One of Ted Cruz's fiercest congressional supporters, Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., stars in a new ad rebuffing some of Sen. Marco Rubio's critiques of Cruz on foreign policy.
The ad implores voters to "Trust Ted."
"As a Navy pilot, I flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan," Bridenstine tells viewers. "I just watched a despicable ad from one of Marco Rubio's campaign supporters suggesting that Ted Cruz is weak on security."
"I have watched Ted Cruz boldly stand against President Obama's appeasement of those who threaten our security, from Iran, to [the Islamic State], to Russia," Bridenstine continues.
Bridenstine later hits Rubio on immigration and the refugee crisis, saying, "I have seen Ted Cruz stand up to both Obama and Marco Rubio, when they joined forces to provide amnesty without border security. The Rubio amnesty bill would have expanded the U.S. refugee resettlement program."
Bridenstine first endorsed Cruz for president in July, touting, in part, Cruz's fundraising prowess. Since then, to date, Cruz has raised more money than any Republican candidate, save Jeb Bush.
"We need a full-spectrum conservative that has proven he or she can fundraise, who has proven inside the beltway that they can look at the giants, face them down and defeat them," Bridenstine said then. "I think the person that matches that description better than anybody I've seen is Senator Ted Cruz."

Funny numbers, aren’t they?
“Ted Cruz is ready to be our Commander-in-Chief.”
Yes.
Yes, he is.
In on this one before Ted would be great VP .....BLAH BLAH
Aww crap, he’s calling in the Navy.
LOL
Not only did Cruz smack the living daylights out of GOPe puppet Rubio but he makes his case at the same time!
Cruz also appears to have ended Kasich in the last debate when Kasich made the mistake of of going after Cruz for not supporting bailouts.
Interesting, the only one with a higher percentage indicating “no ready” over “ready” was the establishment toady Jeb. Yet the GOPe was pushing Jeb as the complete package. If they can’t get Kasich or Christy they will go to a hard to control Rubio.
How ironic it is the Washington Examiner chooses the phrase “Cruz ad deploys Bridenstine against Rubio” in the title. In contrast with Ted Cruz, Rubio is well known to invariably side with John McCain and Lindsey Graham advocating the deployment of U.S. Military forces at the drop of a hat in every little hell hole conflict around the world.
Sure, it's a poll that doesn't favor Trump so it must be "funny".
