He [Cruz] and his wife can go back to being legal GOPhers for Bush clan.

Y'know, that is a really funny statement.

Because it exposes just how ignorant its writer is about the non-existent Bush-Cruz relationship.

Yes, Cruz was active in the GWB campaign. But, no, Cruz is not part of the "Bush team". Cruz ran against and defeated Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst -- part of the Bush establishment -- for the Senate job. Further, GWB has been quoted expressing his personal dislike of Cruz.

Accordingly, you might want to retract your statement...

the non-existent Bush-Cruz relationship.

Really?

_____________________________________

Cruz joined the George W. Bush presidential campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising then-Governor George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform.

Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devising strategy, and drafting pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, the specific case being Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, leading to two successful decisions for the Bush team.

Cruz recruited future Chief Justice John Roberts and noted attorney Mike Carvin to the Bush legal team. After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department

In 2003, Heidi Cruz worked for the Bush administration on economic policy. Eventually becoming the director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council under National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in 2003.

If these are not close relationships, I don't know what is. You might want to retract your statement okie.

Cruz worked for George Bush. That’s a fact...why dispute it? Even Bush dislikes Ted.
