BRET BAIER (HOST): Rubio's push back to that has been pointing out some things about Cruz and voting for a Rand Paul sponsored budget that cut defense, and also the NSA vote. So, you see that playing out, that battle between Cruz and Rubio really being the primary thing? 

A.B. STODDARD: Yeah, I think they both have to go after each other a little bit tonight. Cruz is in second but he is looking over his shoulder at Rubio behind him. Rubio is going to go after him as a neo-isolationist, and Cruz is going to go after him on immigration and maybe some other things he has dug up, sugar subsidies. I do not think Trump and Cruz are going to go after each other. I think Trump has been slapped down by Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Glenn Beck as making a serious -- just for criticizing Cruz, making a serious error. And so I think he is going to resist the urge to attack him like he resisted the urge to attack Ben Carson at a debate where we all expected him to.
