Ted Cruz Welcomes Jeb Bush into Race for 2016 GOP Nomination for President

HOUSTON, Texas -- Today, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, issued the following statement welcoming former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush into the race for the Republican nomination for President of the United States:

"I’m glad to welcome Jeb Bush to the growing and diverse field of 2016 GOP candidates. Gov. Bush is a good man and was a strong governor in Florida. I look forward to a productive and thoughtful debate on the issues most important to Republican voters as the 2016 GOP primary season gets into full swing. Gov. Bush brings a lifetime of service to this field, and his candidacy ensures our eventual nominee will be all the stronger and equipped to face Hillary Clinton in the general election."

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
 
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792
 
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

“Trying to find Jeb’s corresponding hat-tip to Ted Cruz...”

Or hat-tip to either one for Trump, although I doubt JEB! will give out one.

Cruz has welcomed every other candidate into the race as well. I actually like that approach.

“Gov. Bush is a good man and was a strong governor in Florida.”

Exactly what did Jonellis do as governer that was so great?
Pulling the plug on Terri Schiavo? Stopping Algore from
stealing the election? It was Katherine Harris that had the
balls on that one. What was it that made Jonellis strong on
anything. Where was he on Obamacare, IRSgate, Benghazi..etc?
The guy is just as “empty suit” as the Obama and is probably
a closet commie just like the rest of his family.

It actually wasn’t Reaganesque IMO...I know the communications dweeb Cruz hired who wrote this sugar vanilla pabulum.......he will sink Cruz if Cruz doesn’t fire him. I’m not saying Cruz should attack Jeb - he should have ignored him.

Cruz didn’t say this...he may not have even approved it.
