Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, who has been praising anti-GOP establishment for more than a year, called Texas Sen. Ted Cruz a "sure bet" on his Twitter page over the weekend.

[ManHunter]

A not-insignificant endorsement from one of our most brilliant business leaders.

[angcat]

Really who cares.

[Jewbacca]

That’s cool.

[Bidimus1]

So. Now we wait or djt to say jack welsh is a moron right ?

[Zathras]

Agreed.
A good endorsement.

[MNJohnnie]

Hardly the sort of thing an “Outsider” candidate should be courting.

[Eurotwit]

GE. You cannot get more intertwined with the US government than them.

That said I respect Welch.

[crusader71]

Huge endorsement for the next POTUS.

[MaskedMan]

Why even bother responding then?

[detective]

This is a good endorsement for Cruz. Welch is long retired and highly respected.

Obviously not hardcore Trump fans.

[WENDLE]

I’ll bet!!! Guess who loves shipping jobs over seas and the TPP???

[CA Conservative]

Well, Welch was one of the names floated by Trump for Treasury Secretary - so I think HE cares.

“I’ll bet!!! Guess who loves shipping jobs over seas and the TPP???”

Guess who wouldn’t be able to negotiate trade deals if there was no TPP?

[WENDLE]

Cruz is paid for — isn’t he?

[RightOnTheBorder]

As a Cruz fan I find this to be a negative endorsement. GE has been on the front lines of Crony Capitalism for some time now and that was largely under Welch’s leadership.

[Starstruck]

Really who cares.

If the endorsement of a major businessman is no big deal, why are we paying any attention to Trump's business sense?

[meatloaf]

If you were party to some of GE’s business decisions during Jack’s era you wouldn’t consider him brilliant. GE’s success was due to concentrating on products with little competition so the sky high margins covered up management screw ups.

It’s easy to make money when you’re working on a 100% markup.

[meatloaf]

Jack’s not exactly a moron but charging out the ass for leading edge products covers a multitude of mgt. sins.

[meatloaf]

That’s a good analysis.
