Say what you will about Trump but he always knew that Bush was bad for America. I'm man enough to admit I was a fan until just a little while after his election. Looks like Cruz was a fan as well.

Trump was a fan of Hillary, and that is FAR, FAR worse. In fact, no comparison.

Trump even invited Hillary and Bill to his third wedding.

I was a fan through his first term. I started wondering during their lackluster reelection campaign, and from their it went downhill. The first term featured great policy success and a perfect response to 9/11. By the end of the reelection, they stopped playing offense and did not even offer defense to their positions. They ushered in Pelosi’s congress and eventually Obama. Now, I never want to see another Bush again.

W was a great president after 9/11 and before the financial collapse.

After eight years of the ClinToons and considering the prospect of AlGore as President......
Bush looked like a breath of fresh air at the time.....
It was only later that we discovered he is a big government RINO.....
When one considers that AlGore might've been President, Bush was not a bad choice at the time...
It's not like we had such great choices at that time....

“W was a great president after 9/11 and before the financial collapse.”

What? Thanks to W and Wall St., my retirement savings took a 30% hit in 2007. Now, at 75, I’m still working. Screw the Booshes, the first two were the GOPe “$hit Sandwiches du Jour.” If Hebby is the nominee, there’s no reason to go vote.

Sen Ted must be a man filled with Grace to be able to hold his tongue after hearing that little tirade. And here I though that Latin men were reactionary. Sir, we stand behind you and ready for battle. We await a leader of our party. That leader is you? Carry on, Senator, carry on. PS some men have more class than others, and it often shows.

“Now, at 75, I’m still working. “

Sucks to be you. If you were responsible, you would be PLANNING for the possibilities of market swings. Were you expecting that “your” stocks would keep going up? It might be too late for you, but you should tell your younger family and acquaintances to PLAN for their retirement and diversify!

Yes, Cruz wrote that in 2004 while we were still recovering from 2001. We were a country united then against the terrorism that badly hurt the country. I will always admire the way George Bush held the country together. The bank meltdown happened in 2008 and that was a jar to all of us, including, I’m sure, Ted Cruz.

At least Trump doesn’t consider the Clintons’ family like the Bushes do. Jebbie even gave Hillary some big award. I’m sure Trump’s wedding was huge and had plenty of prominent people there. Inviting celebrities to a celebrity wedding just isn’t the same as saying “Bill Clinton is a brother from another mother”. When they thought Bush Sr. was dying they were wondering if Bush Jr. would deliver the eulogy or Bill Clinton. I can’t figure out why the Bushes are getting this pass on their relationship with the Clintons.

“..I can’t figure out why the Bushes are getting this pass on their relationship with the Clintons.”

Not by me, which is why Jeb is at the bottom of my list. I found out a long time ago that the entire Bush family is weak.

Jeb isn’t really doing that well (despite name recognition), and let’s hope it stays that way.

He was. And having lived in Midland for many years one comes to love both W and Laura. He is just a classy guy, which is one of the things that angered me about him sometimes during his presidency, that he would not fight back against accusations that were no true. Now very disappointed in him now after hearing about what he said about Cruz.

Wow, that’s some real nuanced piece of journalism, yet we still don’t know a thing about the past of our supreme overlord..color me unimpressed.

Perhaps after two failures he thought he'd try some reverse voodoo.

I see not one thing wrong in this petty attempt at a hit piece on Cruz.

Cruz wrote a gracious letter about Bush praising him for his handling of 9/11 -so what? We can agree that Bush was great in handling that crisis.

The rest of the article makes the author and those involved seem very small. Cruz comes off as classy once again.

And no doubt you had fantastic returns on your investments in the years prior when the stock market was at all time highs and unemployment was below 5%. All the investors got scared when Pelosi took over and they were right to be scared. But you just have to beat up on Bush so have at it.
