Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) discusses presidential rival Sen. Having won a Senate seat in Texas with no previous elected governmental experience, Cruz has become a rising star through his passionate rhetoric, conservative values and refusal to acquiesce.

Cruz also contrasted his views with Rubio on Syria – linking him again with Clinton and blasting their support of a no-fly zone and arming “the so-called moderate rebels”.

While Trump has traded barbs with most of his Republican opponents, he and Cruz have maintained a largely cordial relationship, with the two offering each other praise at various points during the campaign. And you might not care if Donald Trump says it’s okay to rough up black protesters, because you’re not one. But he said from his own observations, Trump doesn’t have the same ground game in Iowa as Cruz or even Kentucky Sen.
