Rubio turns up heat on Cruz, ignores Trump

“Leadership is not about attacking people and disparaging people”. “If we expect to do this on our own, we will fail”, said Bush, the former Florida governor who came out swinging to try to revitalise his ailing campaign.

He said: “It’s never ideal getting out, but so late in the day and with it getting dark, it was frustrating to say the least”. I thought Joe Root was a touch unfortunate to get the best ball Dane Piedt bowled all day first up, but that can happen.

In recent weeks, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has emerged as one of Trump’s main challengers, especially in Iowa, where many polls even place him in the lead over Trump.

A notable exception to the anti-Trump chorus was Sen. Rand Paul, and he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere in the polls.

If you want to see Marco Rubio dance on hot coals, ask him about immigration.

Led by Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, about 50 evangelical leaders held a closed-door meeting at a hotel in Virginia earlier this month and selected Cruz to be their candidate after conducting several votes, the National Review reported.

For that reason, the two took some hard hits at each other. The conversation mostly covered national security and the fight against ISIS.

Cruz, along with Rubio, said he understood why Trump had made his proposal for banning Muslims, and he avoided directly criticizing the front-runner. The two sparred Tuesday night on stage over the new USA Freedom Act – legislation Cruz supported and Rubio opposed. This gets at Rubio’s weakness: that critics of illegal immigration are suspicious he’s not really with them. But Bush needs support from Republican primary voters, and, based on polls going into the debate, it’s not there now. It’s still not clear how this dynamic will play out in the general since support could be garnered in new corners, like from evangelicals, but last night’s confrontation is a show of what is to come as the immigration debate heats up in 2016.

“When it comes to Sen”.
