Well, one is a natural born Canadian. Thats Cruz. The other is a natural born American. Thats Rubio.

Other than that there isn't much difference. Both lie. Both can be bribed.

Every politician lies. And I don't think Obama ever showed his birth certificate...

Cruz is a dbag BUT he is an intellectual Giant compared to Rubio. Rubio went to TTT law (look it up). Cruz was a top student in elite schools and is a lot more accomplished even though they are similar ages.

Cruz also is not intimidated by smart women (check out his wife).

Rubio is a 'looks only' kind of guy (compare his wife to Cruz' in terms of accomplishments).

I really struggle to see the appeal of Rubio. Cruz, I can rationalize even though I don't agree with most of his positions.

Cruz's appearance right now on the CNN Town Hall shows how much intelligence he has.

This isn't about Obama (but yes, he has shown his birth certificate).

Anyway, Cruz has a Canadian birth certificate, Rubio has an American one.

And you have just EXPLICITLY described the meaning of natural born. The requirement of a birth certificate.

Toss a coin.

No one that knows Cruz likes him. This includes Senate colleagues, ex-roommates and women and children
