Ted Cruz's foreign policy adviser talks Syria, democracy, and art

Ted Cruz may have built his campaign on consistent conservatism, toeing his party’s line on social issues, taxes and Obamacare. But on foreign policy, he’s breaking with GOP orthodoxy in a big way.

Rather than uphold the principles that have guided the Republican Party’s approach to international affairs for years, the Texas senator and White House hopeful has a new vision for America’s role in the 21st century world – one that moves away from nation-building and aggressive military expeditions, and instead focuses solely on U.S. national security interests.
