try to marginalize both cruz and rubio while doing what he does best. cozy up to criminals, murderers, America haters and despots
I doubt that the timing of Cuba announcement or Iran deal by Comrade Barack Che Obama has anything to do with Cruz or Rubio, or any Republican presidential candidate.
Che Obama is in a mad rush to do all these unpopular things NOW so this Carteresque "legacy" becomes fait accompli by the time presidential campaigns are in a full swing and it wouldn't affect the next Democratic candidate — and him/her having to defend or denounce the "policy" or its outcome — when it can be dismissed as "old news" and therefore, with the help of the media, unimportant and as such, "time to move on[.org]" to issues they want to emphasize.
