When Mitt Romney took to TV to denounce Donald Trump and declared war on the Trump campaign, he and his team of Bush politicos, including Neil Bush, took over the Cruz campaign. Cruz became a part of the GOPe establishment which he was supposedly against. Rush has been overtly pushing Cruz from that time and undermining Trump in not so subtle ways. Bain Capital and Romney is an interesting back story to the seemingly contradictory positions of people we thought we knew.
My guess is that when they took over Cruz’s campaign, they reached out to Rush with the moolah. Rush is cheap, wine and dine, give him a gym bag of loot, and after dinner, he will be more than glad to carry your water. He’s done it since 1992.
thanks for the well stated review
