'nuff said.
After initially declining to comment, the Cruz campaign issued a statement:
I have great respect for George W Bush, and was proud to work on his 2000 campaign and in his administration. Its no surprise that President Bush is supporting his brother and attacking the candidates he believes pose a threat to his campaign. I have no intention of reciprocating. I met my wife Heidi working on his campaign, and so I will always be grateful to him.
Now that’s class. Unlike Bush’s comments.
GWB is putting dynasty over nation. Why can’t they all just go away?
It’s official, the “establishment” hates Ted Cruz. I’m good with it.
I always wondered why Ross Perot hated the Bush family so much. Perhaps this is a clue.
No need to worry GOPe, Polutico and cnn’s latest poll has Cruz only at 4%.
“Cruz is doing it all for his own personal gain, and thats juxtaposed against a family thats been all about public service and doing it for the right reasons.”
When Bushes say “the right reasons” they mean the House of Saud, or Halliburton, or name your crony.
Grrr!
Bush also slammed Cruzs alliance with runaway frontrunner Donald Trump, who has repeatedly mocked Jeb as pathetic and low energy.
Politico? I think I will take this with a grain of salt....but, if true, very disappointing after 16 years of silence against his critics and true enemies of this country......
Likes Bubba, doesn’t like Cruz. Hmmm
G.W. a guy who wouldn’t talk about Obama for 8 years is now attacking a conservative. Tells you all you need to know about the uni-party and the elitest class.
Go home and paint a picture George. On your way drop Yeb off at a Mexican restaurant to wash dishes or change light bulbs as he is good at balancing on his tippy toes.
It’s not strange that he’d trash Cruz. What does strike me is that he didn’t trash Trump who has really never had much good to say about W, and is thoroughly trouncing his brother.
wonder who are the 100.
My tagline in action...
I find it opportunistic that Cruz is sucking up to Trump and just expecting all of his support to come to him in the end. It's frustrating to watch Cruz basically hijack the Republican Party in general and specifically in Texas. I just don't like the guy. Nevertheless, Cruz is going to be a pretty formidable candidate against Jeb, especially in Texas and across the South. .
Ted Cruz response:

Folks, you tell me. Which of those two statements garners the most respect, shows the strongest leadership skills, and sounds most presidential?
I respected that W was remaining largely quiet in this...not now.
Trump/Cruz - No more GOPe, no more Bushes.
Ted Cruz hijacked the GOP? Cool.
I don’t care if Trump trashes “W” or any of the Bush family. They are parasites.
What has any of the Bush clan ever done for the GOP?
Looks like GW has taken time off cutting switch grass to create a little distraction away from Trump, who is the REAL threat to his little brother.
