Former Florida governor Jeb Bush plans to meet with three of the four remaining Republican presidential candidates today and tomorrow in Miami, according to an aide.
Bush, who until recently was also a presidential contender, plans to meet with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a spokeswoman said. There are no plans for Bush to meet with businessman Donald Trump — no surprise given their acrimonious relationship.

Not smart for Cruz to go unless to blow the lid on what is said.
Riddle me this - How do you square Trump’s lifelong dealings with the mob?
“We know that if they knock out Trump that they will turn their guns on Cruz.”
If what you say is true then Ted Cruz isn’t nearly as smart as you claim he is. Why would he team up with the GOPe and strengthen them if he knows that once he helps them knock Trump out, they will knock him out next?
Same way you did when you stopped beating your wife. :)
Cruz was always the insider establishment fall back guy. The Bush dynasty falling in lock step behind him clearly proves this.
“Honest question for Cruz supporters. Is there any question now that Ted is part of the establishment and that he isn’t who he portrayed himself to be? Mr. Outsider is awfully “Inside”.”
Cause of one meeting with Bush? Hiring a Bush for is campaign finances?
Did Trump not just rave about his meeting with Paul Ryan, does that make Trump establishment?
Does the fact that Donald trump said “I was a part of the establishment two months ago” make him establishment?
Does Trump funding Mitch McConnell over a tea-party outsider make him establishment?
Does Trump running around the country with Chris Christie make him establishment?
Does Trump constant praise and Support of Hillary make him establishment?
Does Trump saying “Rubio’s Amensty Bill was the right thing to do” make him establishment?
Swing and a miss....
No one doubts that Ted Cruz worked to safeguard our fundamental rights on his way to the White House. What we are pointing out is that he is now beholding to the Washington Cartel “opposes”. He has not shown that he can mobilize the people is large numbers, and no one likes him because he jumped his position in the establishment line of succession. That is why the GOPee is treating “him like crap” by shifting the Bush finance team to the Cruz campaign.
who is the fourth ‘mo on the double-date?
* Convicted cop killer Edgar Tamayo Arias executed after Cruz fought Bush administrations request for new hearings.
* Humberto Leal Garcia Jr., a Mexican national convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl in 1994, was executed by lethal injection in Texas. Ted Cruz, the state’s solicitor general argued the case against new hearings.
*Mexican national Jose Ernesto Medellin, whose death penalty conviction in the rape and murder of two teen girls sparked international controversy, was put to death in Texas after Ted Cruz argued and won the case before the Supreme Court.
President George W. Bush had reluctantly made that demand for a new hearing after an international court concluded Medellin was improperly denied access to his consulate before his original prosecution.
Because in order or Cruz to be nominated he must take on and beat Trump. Regardless of what you think about him, he is in to win.
If he can beat him, he should just beat him. He shouldn’t need to team up with the ‘cartel’ as he calls them. Trump certainly doesn’t need the ‘cartel’ to beat Ted.
Beautiful
Trump people were convinced Cruz was being unfair to their guy and divisive by no dropping out after SC.
I don’t expect Cruz to tommy-gun the gop-e anymore after yesterday, but I do expect him to win or die trying. DT’s folks think that’s offensive and irrational and completely uncalled for, LOL.
LOL! Go Trump
That would be really funny!
Utterly establishment.
Not even arguable anymore.
“At some point even the most ardent Cruz supports have to face the music and admit that Cruz is NOT an outsider.”
At this point there’s no denying it. What they need to consider is how that fact effects to all his alleged conservative policies. Immigration for starters..
