Trump, Cruz grab headlines; Rubio grabs neocon money, crazed ideas

Trump and Cruz may be getting the headlines and the pollsters top spots, but Marco Rubio is the one to really fear on foreign affairs. The leading duo are both outliers, besides being liars, from the Republican establishment, and wouldn't be the establishment's first choice. That's in part because neither is as focused on promoting the Military-Industrial Complex as Rubio, who pursues it with a war-monger's zeal. He parrots the Bush era neocons on virtually every one of their self destructive schemes such as overturning the Iran nuclear deal while re-imposing sanctions, rescinding rapprochement with Cuba, allowing Ukraine into NATO setting up renewed confrontation with Russia; even taking on China by engaging with dissidents, implying a regime change agenda. He loves the idea of fighting ISIS without a clue how to fight. Rubio is backed up many of the Bush administration advisors and media shills. His biggest catch is billionaire and military intervention fanatic Sheldon Adelson, who shelled out $100 million in the losing GOP 2012 presidential race and is prepared to drop another $100 mil to elect Rubio.

Most relatively normal Republicans I know back Rubio; they are embarrassed by Trump and can't relate to Cruz's evangelical zealousness. Rubio conveys that youthful, handsome, confident persona they idolize in promoting their conservative worldview. Of course, they don't do their homework regarding his recklessness, corruptibility and abject stupidity on foreign affairs. That mindset is almost as scary as a Rubio presidency.
