Seriously guys, no one else is going to comment in this thread? This is an interesting potential fissure in foreign policy among GOP presidential candidates that we could see next year, and you'd all rather talk about whether the 100 year old former lieutenant governor of Guam could be vice president, or whatever?
I think its because its hard to take Ted Cruz serious as a Presidential contender, so it doesn't seem to matter much what he says. But I agree with the "worst of both worlds" comment. A Cruz-presidency would be terrible (also) on foreign policy.
Can you make the case that this will influence Republican foreign policy with some more likely nominee?
Ted Cruz is a political joke in the making -- at best the New Jesse Helms and at worst the New Joseph McCarthy.
