He's the only one who makes any real points. I think his biggest problem is that he is too intelligent for the party. He needs to just ignore the questions and talk about how we don't win things anymore and how he's going beat China. Clearly it's a more effective strategy

Take off the Rand glasses and look at things objectively.

True. On both sides. Republicans and Democrats both want government to solve things they see as problems. And trying to tell them to handle their own problems and to stop living in fear is never an easy sell

Trump never makes any real points.

Christie just makes emotional arguments and repeats "I worked as a federal prosecutor" atleast 10 times each debate.

Rubio just says "what was Hillarys stance on foreign policy?"..."o, well I agree with that".

And Ted Cruz doesn't know where he stands

He's sitting up there talking about the Fed. It's a very relevant issue, but I guarantee you that most people are bored to tears by it.

That's his problem. He's too philosophical and not good at grabbing attention.

People have trouble understanding basic things, like the difference between the financial health of the government and the health of the economy. It's a losing battle.

Because it's clear what's going on here. Hell, even Rubio showed up for the vote.

And what does Rubio have to do with me pointing out that your post was opinion and not fact? It's a really simple question huff so perhaps you can humor me with a simple answer instead of making insinuatuons.

I think you posted the video I'm looking for in this thread. Do you remember the one I'm talking about? It's a YouTube video of Rubio and Hillary agreeing on foreign policy

So Trump's birther attack on Cruz seemed to be paying off. Trump has closed the gap with Cruz in Iowa and polling suggests some GOP voters are worried about Cruz' eligibility.

Let's say Trump wins the nomination, beating back Cruz with this ploy along the way.

1) Do you think Cruz would support Trump in the general, get behind him?

2. If Trump actually won, would Cruz sabotage him in the Senate at every turn?

And just so you have the full conversation in context and not the highly edited version that YouTube video shows you:

In October 2010, Rubio was asked about the Iraq war by Tampa Bay Times’ political editor Adam Smith during a Senate campaign debate on CNN.

Smith: "Mr. Rubio, is America safer and better off for having gone to war in Iraq?"

Rubio: "I think the answer ultimately is yes. First of all, the world is better off because Saddam Hussein is no longer in charge in Iraq. And I think we have to remind ourselves of that, is that the world is a better and safer place because Saddam Hussein no longer is in charge of that country. …You know, there are a lot of issues that that society and that that nation-state faces. But it is better off today than it was when Saddam Hussein (was there)."

Now whether or not it's a better place is obviously a point of debate. However, your video obviously slants towards the candidate you want and makes points that are entirely out of context.

Rubio's statements on Iraq have shifted but not flipped | PolitiFact Florida
