Cruz and Rubio Ready for Battle

New York Times: “Now, the two Republican stars, biographically similar but stylistically opposite, are running for president, and Mr. Cruz is privately telling colleagues that he believes the race for the party’s nomination will boil down to a contest between himself and Mr. Rubio.”

“It is a belief shared by some other leading Republicans and a prospect made only more plausible by their standout performances in Wednesday night’s presidential debate on CNBC. After the debate, Mr. Rubio and his wife could be seen leaving the building with Mr. Cruz’s wife and children, smiles on all their faces.”
