McCain Prefers Ted Cruz to Rand Paul

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told Fox News that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the worst Republican presidential candidate on security issues.

Said McCain: “Sen. Paul is the worst possible candidate of the 20 or so that are running on the most important issue, which is national security. The record is very clear that he simply does not have an understanding about the needs and the threats of United States national security.”

And even though McCain relentlessly mocked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) earlier this week, he said he’d prefer Cruz over Paul: “Ted Cruz has a much better handle on our national security issues.”
