Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have to change strategy if they hope to beat GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer said Wednesday.

That includes winning their home states of Florida for Rubio and Texas for Cruz.

"Cruz has to stop acting defensively, Krauthammer said on Fox News Channel's "Special Report." "Forget about the liar and the dirty tricks, he got distracted. Ended up on the defense, and wasted time."

Cruz, he said, "needs to find an attack line," suggesting he go after Trump on why he hasn't released his tax returns.

Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, suggested just that earlier Wednesday. 

"And also, they both have to work on defending their home state," he said. "If either loses his home state to Trump, they have to pull out.
