Ted Cruz’s latest foreign policy attack manages to lump his two main rivals together in one smart critique.

Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, the shadow front-runners for the Republican nomination, have spent the last several weeks previewing the barbs they’ll use against each other should they eventually assume the top two polling positions, as expected.

My greatest concern is that Rubio is being pumped up by the Elites .. and because of that .. if Cruz should get the nomination, I know the Elites will try to force Cruz to choose Rubio as his running-mate.

This was what happened to Reagan. When he choose GHW Bush, it was because the Elites forced Bush on Reagan. And, when Reagan left office, everybody expected Bush to continue on with Reagan’s policies, but I know Bush did not.

This is why I keep stressing a Trump/Cruz ticket .. because I’m confident Cruz will only build on what Trump does .. even if it is in a slightly different manner .. instead of trying to tear down what Trump has built.
