And it isn’t just this Bush that signed up with Cruz. The Cruz campaign boasted last week of bringing in about 6 former Bush finance staffers. There is definitely an alliance coming together.

“This is getting very old. Just look at the attacks on Trump here today.”

“Cruz is no conservative. He wraps himself in priestly conservative clothes while supported by both the political and media elite.”

You talk of the attacks on Trump and immediately attack Senator Cruz. Neither Trump nor Cruz will be able to win if they don’t pick up supporters and staff of other candidates as they drop out. I suspect Neil Bush would have been great and the best, most terrific, amazing financial analyst there ever was, except of course for the magnificent Trump, had he joined the Trump campaign but he didn’t so he’s a traitorous Rino %@$!@&*.

“Ted Cruz’s ‘consistent conservative’ record:

TPA/TPP
Corker bill
Married to Goldman Sachs
Harvard lawyer
Freshman Senator
Government careerist
No executive experience
Cuban/Canadian/American
Was for more H1-B visas before he was against them
Hasn’t been attacked by Mitt Rove (wonder why?)”

NO THANKS!

They keep saying Cruz isn’t part of the establishment yet every time there is a new announcement of someone coming on board, it’s another GOPe guy.

I get a kick out of people like you, who proclaim Trump is not a conservative.
I only deal with FACTS, not opinions of people like you.
So why have so called conservatives failed to elect a conservative president since Reagan?
Because they can not find a candidate who RESONATEs with people
Only a former democrat liberal, divorced, and with Hollywood background
and transformed conservative such as Ronald Reagan can RESONATE with voters.

What exactly have the conservatives in congress accomplished?

Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
Fraud in Medicare & Social Security under control?
As many as 25% of Medicare payments go to fraudulent claims,
and tens of thousands of people over age 110 still mailed
social security checks without proof they are living!

If Trump can deliver any 3 of above, he is more than enough
conservative for most rational people.

Trump is conservative on these issues:

Pro life since at least 2011, wanted to ban partial birth
abortion as far back as 2000
Pro Traditional marriage. Gay rights is not his thing
Pro capital punishment
Hold Judges accountable
Common core is a disaster
Anti education unions (2000)
For school choice
Believes man made Climate Change is a hoax
No Cap-and-Tax
For drilling our own
Stressed importance of strong family & culture (2015)
Supports Israel
Opposes Iran deal and letting Iran obtain the bomb
Wants to crush ISIS quickly
Wants a military so strong no one will challenge us
Against unbalanced trade deals that kill American jobs
Against warrant-less government surveillance of citizens
Against having a high national debt
Warns that $24T is a point of no return
Against gun control
For assault weapon ban but says the AR-15 shouldn't
be considered an assault weapon
Wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with market driven
polices and increased competition among insurance companies
Wants to increase military spending
Top priority to build a REAL wall on the southern border,
and get Mexico to pay for it
Will deport all illegals but will let the hard working
ones go through the legal process to come back
Against Anchor babies
Will bring jobs back through better trade negotiation
Stood up for Birthers and challenged Obama on his fraud
Believes USA is the greatest force for freedom the world
has ever known
Wants to honor commitments on Social Security and Medicare,
which we can afford if he gets the economy going full steam.
Wants to reduce the fraud in disability and other programs
Against marriage penalties in tax code
Wants to simplify tax code with just 3 simple brackets
Wants to reduce income taxes and reduce corporate tax
Wants to rebuild our infrastructure
Wants to apply welfare-to-work to 76 other welfare programs (2011)
Does not have time for political correctness
Not afraid to call out either party or both when they are wrong
Not a puppet of mega-rich donors and Lobbyists
Go Trump 2016! Make America Great Again! It is almost too late, but only Donald Trump has the know-how, courage, name recognition, and freedom from rich donors to accomplish that gargantuan task.

“Whatever. Neil Bush isn’t a principled hire, no matter how you spin it. Look into Silverado Savings and Loan if you want to know why.”

Whatever, Donald Trump is not a principled hire for President. Look at his life and his associates, who bhe has supported and his own words.

Anyone involved in politics in Houston or Texas knows how the Bush family operates. They recently got Jeb!’s son George P. Bush elected to the Texas Land Comission. That post was bought and paid for by the same people Neil will be out getting money from in bundles for Ted Cruz.

George P. Bush has already fired or ran off dozens of people from the Texas Land Comission and replaced them with family and political cronies. That is the same deal going on here. The Bush family raises money for Cruz, Cruz, if elected, pays back the Bush family with positions of power within various government agencies. Like in Texas, once these people are in power within those agencies they make deals with various Bush and now Cruz supporters that run companies to provide goods and services to the federal government. They might even be creative and make up something like “climate change” and then one of the cronies simply puts together another new company (i.e. Solendra) and it makes millions by doing much of nothing for the government. Some of the money, of course, is funneled back in political donations to campaigns, PACS, nonprofits or some other entity that can put money back in to the family pockets.

As I have said for years, it is a good deal if you can get it. It is always about the money. Always! Peel everything away and it’s about getting rich which is something Trump already is:)
