Marco Rubio accused Ted Cruz of flip-flopping on several issues during the Fox Business Network Republican debate, adding that is "not consistent conservatism."

Rubio said that Cruz was once in favor of birthright citizenship, expanding the number of visas for guest workers and skilled workers, and the Trade Promotion Authority. "I saw you flip your vote on crop insurance because they said it would help you in Iowa," he added, referring to a vote in the Senate.
