In another counter-punch, Cruz has taken to putting Rubio into the same basket as President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats who are pushing for new firearms legislation in the aftermath of the terrorist mass-shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., arguing that Rubio and his supporters are trying to undermine the Fourth Amendment in the same way Democrats undermine the Second Amendment.
"There are voices on the left who are taking the same approach, and want us to voluntarily surrender our Second Amendment rights. Both of these approaches are misguided," Cruz said Thursday. "Chief among them going after our Second Amendment rights is our president. With all due respect, the president has it exactly backwards. We don't stop the bad guys by giving away our guns. We stop the bad guys by using our guns." Very wise of Cruz to equate our right to privacy with our RKBA.

Since Rubio wants as many immigrants as possible to enter the USA then his claims that he cares about the security of Americans is the worst sort of hypocrisy.

If the next attack is carried out by those that entered via our southern border Rubio is political toast.

Exactly.
Now waiting for the trumpholes to step in and admonish the Cruz supporters because “The Donald” thought of EVERYTHING first.

*******************************************************
VERY valid question, Uncle Miltie. One that I suspect would leave the glib, fast-talking Rubio at a loss for words.

He obviously thought he had to do something, as Cruz has been rising and Rubio has been mostly flat, and more recently sinking. He picked the wrong issue.

Especially with regards to the constitution, that’s Ted’s strength.
Rubio does NOT want to get into a constitutional debate with Cruz.
