I think Rubio was always a little more confused about things than Cruz. Cruz is a true believer, in states’ rights and in himself. He seemed to know a bit more about how to handle his image vis-a-vis the Trump fight than Rubio did. I think Cruz also knows that there are a whole lot of friendly folks in this crowd for him — he was the vessel for the “Stop Trump” movement, so he’s got that going for him.
