Brooks: Cruz vs. Rubio Is ‘Resentment Vs. Hope’

New York Times columnist David Brooks described the competition between GOP presidential candidates Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as “resentment vs. hope” on Friday’s “PBS NewsHour.”

Brooks stated of a potential Cruz-Rubio match-up, “it’s resentment vs. hope. Cruz is waxing eloquently against Muslim, Syrian refugees. He’s talking about shutting down the government. He’s very anti-immigrant, where Rubio is much more in the mainstream of the party, a little hopeful on immigration, hopeful about American foreign policy. So we’ll see which emotional tone the Republican Party is ready for. I suspect it’s the Rubio one, but who knows?”
