This election decides who will be negotiating with Puitin for our side.

What's going on with the Russians is the most dangerous and delicate issue on the table.

Who has the best chance of going into discussions and emerging with a good result that avoids war? Rubio or Cruz? Think about it. And remember what they had to say about imposing a US "no fly" zone in Syria - and what the implications of that would be. It's hard to stay out of war if you go about shooting down Russian planes and sending Russian pilots back to Volgagrad or Kalliningrad or Minsk in a box.

Trump is pretty far from an ideal candidate. And I'm not saying that I support him. But I keep looking at the alternatives, and all of them seem worse.
