Thank you, Ted Cruz.

Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) presidential campaign brushed off repeated, yet subtle, accusations of being a moderate from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) after Tuesday's Republican debate in Milwaukee.

Rubio's campaign manager Terry Sullivan told Bloomberg Politics that calling the freshman senator a moderate was "ridiculous."

“It's crazy," Sullivan told Bloomberg. "Absolutely, positively most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my entire life. Marco Rubio is the conservative's conservative."

This is his version of "severely conservative."

We would NEVER tolerate someone implying that one of our candidates was not progressive enough. NEVER.

Our candidates do not engage in such silliness, it's true. Thank goodness!

However, here at DU, it's a different story entirely.
