I don't believe either of them has any idea of what the word 'optics' means.
I could hardly believe how Rubio is parroting Trump’s position on deportation, fishing for votes and for VP.
I knew a guy who was going to run against Ann Richards in Texas in 1992. He tried to tell people “I’m sorta’ like Ross Perot.” He told me he knew that probably wouldn’t work because he could be a twin of Perot but Perot’s people wouldn’t vote for him. In other words, “Perot can pull it off. I can’t.”
Same for Cruz.
