Rubio or Cruz, which one do you trust? (Watch the ad video)
A super PAC allied with Ted Cruz is calling into question Marco Rubio's credentials as a conservative with a new ad that reminds viewers that Rubio was once an advocate of comprehensive immigration reform.
The Courageous Conservatives PAC lauds Rubio's deft handling of rival Jeb Bush, but says other than that and his support for immigration reform, there's not much else to the Florida senator.
"What's Rubio ever done? Anything at all? Anything at all besides amnesty?" the voiceover for the ad asks. "After Sandy Hook, Ted Cruz stopped Obama's push for new gun control laws. Obama's plan to stop Israel flights amounted to an economic boycott. Ted Cruz stopped it."
"We all loved how Marco Rubio took apart Jeb Bush in the debate," the ad concedes, but then finishes with: "Marco Rubio looks good on TV, but that's about it."
According to the Federal Elections Commission, Courageous Conservatives is smaller than Cruz's other PACs, with about $5,000 to its name. It is based out of Kansas City.

The radio version is getting major play in Iowa. ‘Amnesty’ is mentioned multiple times with Rubio’s name.
Vote Cruz!
Thanks for posting!
This is a good strategy IMO.
Hammering the gang of 8 thing shows Rubio’s true colors and speaks to what he would do in office.
Go Ted!
Yes, that’s about right.
Telling.
One of those four will be the nominee.
Often standing alone. Got that right. I am sick of the GOPE destroying this country. I expect it from the Dems.
You’re welcome!
Hit him where it hurts!
I saw a comment that CR wasn't fair to Trump because they took positions he held years ago- nonsense. A few months ago he had lower ratings but CR increased the ratings based on new positions. I call that fair.
Cruz PAC: Wham!
(Ouch, that's gotta hurt.)
Inasmuch as Cruz himself doesn’t see fit to go negative, I was surprised by the ad. That said, there is no coordination, and the PAC made its $5,000 count.
Yes, you're right. Trump's ratings on the issues of the second amendment and taxes, economy & trade used to be red.
Rubio grosses me out. I get a very unctuous vibe from him.
Marco’s membership in that Gang of 8 finished him, as far as I am concerned.
No doubt about it, Rubio is the best Presidential candidate...
to come out of Florida...

RE: Rubio
Haven’t we learned a lesson about one-term senators of limited abilities?
