I'm going to assume the Pope would not be a TrumpCruzRubioBush fan

Today he went to the US-Mexico border in what amounted to a total rebuke of GOP immigration orthodoxy.

Someone in the crowd greeting Pope Francis was overenthusiastic, and crowded over a woman in a wheelchair that the Pope was talking to. There was a minor scuffle, but the Pope disentangled himself, and admonished the man to back off and not be selfish. I thought it was a direct rebuke to TrumpCruzRubioBush. Surprised Fox hasn't had a couple of segments lambasting Francis for tearing down selfishness, which is what has made America so great.
