Exclusive — Cruz’s New Book: Rove Thought Bush ’41 ‘Too Old to Have Good Judgment’
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | June 27, 2015 | Matthew Boyle

An exclusive excerpt from a new book by 2016 GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), obtained by Breitbart News, shows that Cruz detailed how GOP establishment operative Karl Rove told him he thought former President George H.W. Bush was “too old” to have good enough judgment to make endorsements on his own.

Cruz’s new book, A Time For Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America, goes on sale this coming Tuesday, June 30. In it, according to a summary document also obtained by Breitbart News, Cruz doesn’t disappoint—breaking tons of news and walking through his backstory and how he got to where he is. He focuses on what he thinks needs to happen to reinvigorate the United States, end back room deals in Congress, and get the U.S. government back to what it’s supposed to be doing: Representing Americans nationwide.

That’s why Cruz exposing Rove so harshly is significant. Rove has become something of a symbol of everything wrong with Washington—the face of those back room deals and the donor class, doing things not because they are the right thing to do, but because the wealthy donors want them done. In this particular instance, Rove is no different.

The revelation about Rove in Cruz’s new book occurs as Cruz describes running for Attorney General of Texas in 2009 and 2010 and meeting with the elder former President Bush—whose son George W. Bush was also a former president, having just wrapped his second term in the White House— to seek his endorsement for the Attorney General race.

“Karl had found out about my meeting with George H.W. Bush and called me on the phone,” Cruz writes. “He was irate, demanding, ‘What in the hell do you think you are doing?!’”(continued)

I’ve got this book on pre-order from amazon.com. Sadly I ordered it before the Confederate flag debacle. I suppose I could just cancel my order, but I’m really excited to read Ted’s book.

Rove Thought Bush ’41 ‘Too Old to Have Good Judgment’

Funny, I thought Obama was too young to have good judgment. And then I discovered the usurper is a fool who will never have good judgement.

I’m hoping it will come out so it can be read with an electronic reader…...

Dallas-Fort Worth radio is the strongest signal where I live in Oklahoma. It was obvious from the radio ads in the US Senate race that the establishment (meaning it now seems clear, Rove) would do anything to keep Cruz from winning the nomination. He was probably already working for Jeb.

He’s worked for the Bush family since he left President Nixon’s CREEP in 1972, I believe.

More proof that Rove is a power-hungry, back-stabbing snake.

Rove has caused so much damage to this nation.

I despise the pos.
