Uh oh. Bush and Romney will forever be tied to endorsing #SexScandalCruz in March 2016. Notice not WORD, not a peep from the Bush or Romney camp?
Hmmmm
The source said Bush will actively support Senator Cruzs bid, but has not yet agreed to a joint appearance with Cruz, or to headline a fundraiser for him. Mitt Romney said he voted for Cruz in Tuesdays Utah primary.
Bushs endorsement is a massive boost for Cruz with the establishment wing of the GOP, which he's struggling to win over as party regulars make frantic moves to stop Trump, who is dominating in the delegate race. And it comes at a time when he's facing strong competition from Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has remained in the race and is courting the same mainstream Republican donors that Cruz badly needs right now.
The source close to Bush said: Senator Cruz also met with Governor Bush in Miami before the last Republican debate there (as did Kasich and Rubio). Senator Cruz has demonstrated the ability to bring voters together and to win primaries (which is the key at this point). They have a mutual respect for one another. He is the absolute best shot Republicans have to defeat Donald Trump and then Hillary Clinton. NOT
The Bush source continued: This is NOT an anti-John Kasich endorsement. Governor Bush has enormous respect for John Kasich and he enjoyed spending time with Governor Kasich over the past year thinks he is a good guy and a good governor. At this point, the best path to victory is supporting the candidate who has been able to win states and win over voters. >>>>> TRUMP
Bush says in the statement: Today, I am endorsing Ted Cruz for President
Ha Ha Talk about a lead balloon.

"They are horrified for their miscalculation of supporting Cruz just last week."
You're wrong about that.
If Jeb couldn't make it with Rubio as VP they at least wanted Rubio.
This all came out of Rubio's opposition research (GOPe staffed and funded) and many different sources have said Rubio was shopping this story around a long while back.
Jeb and Romeny are sitting back and watching their plan to take out both Cruz and Trump with one blow unfold. They figure worse case, they only get Cruz and leave many Cruz supporters dedicated to never voting for Trump. Best case, Trump would have reacted by focusing on this news and their new BFF Cruz would have been more convincing.
They once again underestimated Trump and, like his supporters, overestimated Cruz.
Is it just me, or are Cruz’s hands small in that photo?
