Ted Cruz offered rare and most likely tongue-in-cheek praise to his ideological rival, Jeb Bush, for his "candor" in not backing down from his more moderate positions on immigration and Common Core.
Cruz, who has looked to position himself as the furthest-right candidate in the field, said in an interview with CNN on Tuesday that he appreciated that Bush, who may be the GOP's furthest to the left, was not changing his positions.
"There are candidates in the field who attempt to change their position to do better in primaries, and Jeb Bush has demonstrated a remarkable candor defending positions," said Cruz, a Texas senator. "Jeb Bush has been straightforward and consistent and candid about his embrace of amnesty and Common Core, and I respect that he is willing to stand for those principles."

Totally agree. I too, like the fact that Jebbers isn’t backing down and has decided to go full-blown RINO. That makes my decision in the Fall so much easier. On election day, I’ll be streaming a movie and will completely turn politics and the pundits off as I won’t be voting for Shrub II.

I agree with Ted. Jeb has been very direct and honest.
To: Paladin2

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men—
