George P. Bush, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner and son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, once called Senator Ted Cruz “the future of the Republican Party” and compared Cruz’s effect on the party to the “Great Reformation.”

“Ted is the future of the Republican Party,” Bush said in a statement in support for Cruz during the 2012 Texas Republican Senate primary. Cruz, an upstart conservative and grassroots candidate, ultimately came from behind in that race to upset Texas lieutenant governor David Dewhurst, the establishment favorite.

“He is a proven conservative, and his personal story embodies the American Dream. Like Marco Rubio in Florida, I am confident that Ted will inspire a new generation of leaders to stand up and defend American Exceptionalism.”

Speaking with the Texas Tribune about his 2013 campaign for agriculture commissioner, Bush said his goal was to follow Cruz’s playbook.

“Our idea is to take a page out of Ted Cruz’s playbook and engage the grassroots and the activists within the party throughout the state,” Bush said.

In that interview, Bush compared the effect candidates like Ted Cruz had on the party to the Great Reformation.

“I analogize it to the Great Reformation, where you have outside forces that reform a body or an institution,” Bush said. “I think there are definitely some positive effects that are taking place within the party because of the Tea Party, increased grassroots activism, increased attention and concerns with respect to what’s happening in Washington,D.C”

The young Bush told the Texas Tribune in September 2014 that Cruz was a “force of nature” and “fearless.”

Trim the bushes.

I appreciated GW the immediate days following 911 and his support of the troops. Now it is time for the Bushes to fade away into the history books.
Jebs son in politics in Texas? Please go away.
Yes I know GW was no conservative.

Not according to FReepers! If you read the post it would seem that you would be hard put to find "a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" than a gathering of the present Republican Presidential Candidates.

Yep, if enough of them keep it up and destroy Cruz we’ll nominate Jeb! as the candidate, lose to Hillary and then we’ll gripe for 4 or 8 years about the misery that ensues.

I think half of them are ‘Reptilians’ and the other half are secret Satan Worshipers as well. But maybe I have just been breathing in to much chem trail lately?.

Jeb Bush: “It’s time for me to use all that millions of dollars I raised to s*** on the other candidates.” “Because, let’s face it, I’m a turd, and I can’t win otherwise.”
