Rubio Turns to National Security in Crucial Campaign Stretch

The Republican foreign-policy establishment in Washington is coalescing around Marco Rubio in a final effort to oppose both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz as the campaign enters a pivotal phase.

Rubio is doubling down on his campaign’s argument that he is the best candidate on national security by announcing a new foreign policy advisory council made up of officials and experts from several other failed campaigns. The group is a mix of ideologies and strong personalities, but they have all decided that Rubio is their last, best bet to promote the conservative, internationalist approach they all seek.
