George W. Bush unloads on Ted Cruz (short title)
Daily Mail ^ | 10/20/2015 | Nikki Schwab

Posted on 10/20/2015 2:11:36 PM PDT by celmak

Clearly, former President George W. Bush's presidential pick is his brother Jeb Bush, but his least favorite Republican candidate – well, that would be Sen. Ted Cruz.

'I just don't like the guy,' Bush told his brother's supporters during a closed-door fundraiser at a billionaire's condo in Denver, Colo., Sunday night, according to Politico.

The crux of his Cruz distaste seems to stem from the Texas senator's alliance with the current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, as the two appeared together at an anti-Iran Deal rally on Capitol Hill in September and haven't traded barbs on the campaign trail.

Apparently Nikki Schwab isn't much of a critical thinker.

Its clear that Bush dislikes Cruz because of his candidacy in a race where his brother expected to be coronated, and the fact that Cruz is critical of the GOP establishment GWB has always been part of.

I sometimes used to wonder why I disliked Bush so much.

I am honestly shocked by this. Bush is known for being affable. I can’t wrap my head around this....

I’m sure GWB doesn’t like Cruz bringing up Roberts and his vote on Obamacare.

George was also horrible on amnesty for illegals.

Someone dropped the ball on Islamic people in flight school acting strangely and he never pushed anything to prevent the 2008 loan crash.

I believe GWB loves the military, but he wasn’t a good President IMO.

If you look at any of my post from the 2000s on about President W I never gave him a grade better than 50% which is failing.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I was down to 50% of defending Bush, but he's lost me now.

I think George W. was pissed about Cruz calling him out on Supreme Court Justice Roberts.

Dubya’s been off my list since he tried to cram amnesty down our throats.
