There are a few things you got wrong here, for one he never suggested carpet bombing Syria, ISIS and Syria are two totally different things, and when someone suggests that they are that is inconceavable. Another, if some of us on here don't understand the definition of Libertarian, others certainly don't understand the defintion of neocon, a neocon is someone who puts a heavy emphasis on free market capitalism and an interventionist foreign policy, something far from what Cruz is, the way he has spoken out against recent trade deals, and interventionists like McCain, Graham, Rubio etc. Ted Cruz is anything but a neocon.
