Maybe...bad advice? Maybe...
Both Beck and Bush are citizens with the right to endorse anyone they wish...their actions are their own...if you were a candidate and Mickey Mouse endorsed you, gave you a hug on stage then did something cringe worthy, how would you react? Disavow immediately? Think about it...
Beck and Bush aren't just any garden variety supporters who just happened to publicly endorse Cruz. He's hired one, and has pulled the other right into the inner circle of his campaign.
They also happen to be two very high profile Americans who are now spokesmen for Cruz, whether you like it or not.

True on its' face, but in Beck's case, I don't think that Beck's endorsement was done spontaneously. In politics, almost nothing is. As far as Bush is concerned, it is patently obvious that currently, and in the voters' perception, the Bush brand, from HW on down, is probably irredeemably flawed. Ergo, bringing him on in a high ranking position isn't a wise move.

If Mickey Mouse had a history of cringe worthy actions as both Beck & Bush do, then I would politely decline his endorsement. And if he did endorse me without my OK, then yes, I would immediately disavow it.
Think about it...
I have.
