The five final major candidates for the presidency discussed U.S. policy toward Israel, Cuba and the state of the presidential race in the CNN special “The Final Five.”

Republican front-runner Donald Trump was the subject of questions to every other candidate.  

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich each said emphatically that he would not serve as the vice-presidential candidate on a Trump-led Republican ticket.

Kasich said he is the only remaining Republican candidate who can win a general election – and that the GOP race is “going to go to the convention” before a candidate can secure the nomination.

Cruz said he disagreed with Trump’s assertion that the U.S. should consider reducing its involvement in NATO. “This is a dangerous world; if America withdraws, we get” a more dangerous world, Cruz said.

In contrast with the other Republican candidates, Trump said he would continue the Obama administration’s policy of normalizing relations with Cuba. He also said he didn’t know why white supremacists support his campaign or why people are nervous about his rallies.

Clinton said she expected the relationship between the U.S. and Israel to remain one of friendly “give and take.” On immigration, she said she doesn’t “see the purpose” of breaking up the families of undocumented immigrants with aggressive deportations. She also condemned Trump for what she described as “bigotry and bluster and bullying.”

In his segment, Sanders said he had better judgment on foreign policy matters than Clinton, even though she has served as secretary of state. He added that it’s important for Saudi Arabia to work with the U.S. against ISIS, and that the U.S. should continue normalizing relations with Cuba.
