The
political spectrum between Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders is as wide as their age
difference. However, that difference is apparent mostly in social programs.
Foreign policy issues are often equalizers because principles in politics, in
particular when your own home appears safe,

shortsightedness. Long term strategic interests are subjects left for academic
discourse. In politics, principles are compromised for the sake of political
expediency, electability and the like.
