“Donald is upset that Jeb got the best of him on Tuesday night at the debate and has been the one person to stand-up to his un-American praise of Vladimir Putin”, Bush communications director Tim Miller said in response to Trump’s Twitter tirade.

“As far as other people, like in the migration where they’re going, tens of thousands of people having cell phones with ISIS flags on them”, he said.

“Now in 2013, I think the Rubio campaign thought it was a very clever move that by supporting amnesty which is supported by big business, that they would lock up the big money donors in the Republican Party and he would benefit”, Cruz said.
It didn’t take long for the Senate Intelligence Committe to note his mistake.
Rubio said earlier on Friday that the spending bill showed “what a broken Washington looks like under President (Barack) Obama”.

Rubio responded by noting that the number Cruz mentioned could be classified.
