There is a difference between keeping them out of our country and setting up to go to war.
Cruz, based on his foreign policy adviser selected today, is preparing for imminent war.
If Cruz would say he’s for wiping out Islam he’d get my vote.
Reagan had hardliners too, including Frank Gaffney, perhaps the hardest of the hardliners on Cruz’s team.
Reagan defeated the Soviet Union. Now, as then, no hot war is required.
Look at the big wars of the 20th century and who started them, in descending order of casualties:
WW2, Roosevelt(D)
WW,1 Wilson (D)
Vietnam, Kennedy (D)
Korea, Truman (D)
Prepare to be surprised.
