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.

[Dr. Sivana]

I’ve done contract work for GE. I’ve known how GE treats companies it buys out. I like Cruz just fine, but Welch does not impress me.

So? If you were party to some of Trump’s business decisions in his bankruptcies and failed businesses, you would not consider him brilliant, either. Yet those are defended with incredible zeal here.

Who will Trump supporters not turn on to support their guy?

[FreeReign]

Jack Welch ran that worthless company and trump and everyone else know it,he is a crook.

So then why does Trump want Welch as part of his administration?

[Bidimus1]

How many companies can make a GOOD Jet engine.

or a Great Submarine

or a Power Plant level AC generator

or a Nuclear Reactor

These are NOT small easy tasks.

Absolutely,I cannot find any three ways except GE,and I have had them blow up in my hand as I try to tighten them. They blink at will,and I have had to clean up messes when they blow.up when I try to secure the bulb. They have cut me on fingers that I need as a caregiver. This crap is making me livid. GE gave me coupons after I called and told them,then at their request sent the hundreds of shards,and filament to them. They are still selling these flawed bulbs,and that is probably due to the deal that welch made with the Kenyan for his support. What a piece of garbage that guy is,waiting for the light bulbs to blow up again. I have proof in pics,and I show as, many people as possible.

Jack Welch hasn’t been at GE since 2001; 15 years ago. Nice try.

[SeaHawkFan]

Bingo!!!!!

[SeaHawkFan]

GEwas a mess when he took over.

[samantha]

He made it worse,very much WORSE.....

[traderrob6]

If he’d have endorsed Trump you’d have been shouting it from the rooftops.

[taildragger]

"This guy is the poster child for corporate welfare"

Never fond of him, played hardball that frankly wasn't fair in the jet engine business, but I won't get into it here. Look into the book written about him that isn't flattering....

[publana]

What a coup for Cruz and a slap to Trump the business tycoon! Just damn.

[taildragger]

"Long ago as CEO of GE, Jack Welch earned the nickname “Neutron Jack”. He destroyed all the employees, but left the buildings untouched."

You mean like the A, B, C, "Rack um and Stack um" employee rating system? Ya ask a pharmacy tech in the area of that systems adoption and the increase in prescriptions of "meds" to deal with it...

[angcat]

I could care less if he endorsed Trump. See if I didn't have such sarcasm this thread would be dead!

[94Revolution]

Yeah, it’s almost as if an insider like Trump endorsed Cruz...

I understand your support for trump but it has to get tiring proclaiming everyone who doesn’t an “Insider” or “GOPe”.

You take everything personal. It’s like “They Ain’t us, so they Hate us.” to twist the saying a touch.

Breath MNJohnnie, Breath.

Trump was a real estate speculator with forays into other businesses. He obviously gamed the system. He also had a helluva start fro his father. Welch came to head a company that was already successful with the facilities to manufacture products with few competitors.

The twin CEOs at Westinghouse were in much the same situation except they inherited a finance division that was a lender of last recourse. The equivalent GE unit, IIRC, was much better managed which had nothing to do with Welch. The Westinghouse finance division’s mismanagement led to the breakup of Westinghouse. Welch got the lucky, the dual CEOs weren’t.

[TexasCajun]

Nice endorsement for Ted Cruz.

[TexasCajun]

Nice endorsement for Ted Cruz.

[GrouchoTex]

I thought Welsh was the good guy and Immelt the bad guy at GE?
I’ll admit, I don’t really know, just the way I’ve heard it over the last few years.
They both could be good or bad as far as I know.

[Parmy]

Don’t know the man.
