"The original Bushies attacked Ronald Reagan."

They coined the phrase "voodoo economics."

That is a fact, and something that any remaining Bush fans should keep well in mind. There never was a conservative Bush yet, neither the elder nor the younger, and the rest of the clan are the same New England elitist "moderates."

Bush’s 2004 Second Inaugural, written with the help of the Weekly Standard‘s Bill Kristol and the Washington Post‘s Charles Krauthammer, was the high-water mark of foreign-policy overreach and the cusp of Republican fortunes,

I had no idea that speech was written by Kristol and Kraut. I remember it though. It was eerie, and almost creepy, in its messianic tone. "Overreach" is a mild word for it.

That is not true. GHW Bush was an opponent but did not attack Regan. Cruz needs to be a team player. He can not win on his own. Nor can any other conservative for that matter. That is why democrats win because they do not eat their own.

The original Bushies attacked Ronald Reagan.

Yes they did and then HW Bush was foisted on Reagan as a running mate. As I recall it was part of some deal at the convention. People would pull their support of Reagan if HW wasn't on the ticket with him. Not Reagan's choice for a running mate.
