Over the weekend former President George W. Bush lit into Senator Ted Cruz at a private fundraiser for his brother Jeb! Although this was a private event, it appears the Bush campaign made sure that Politico got the story so that it could become a story. CR Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin returned the favor last night to Bush, as he tore into him on his radio show for withholding fire on Obama but attacking Senator Cruz. -
Levin reminded the audience that the Bush family has a long history of attacking principled conservatives. That it was Bush the elder who attacked Reagan, and his policies throughout the 1980 primary campaign for the presidency.

He’s silent about ISIS.He’s silent about Obama. But he smears Cruz. Truly pathetic.
Very disappointed in President Bush here. I understand and respect his desire to support his brother. However, this was just a crass attack that violates the Reagan commandment. I really thought W had more personal integrity and class than this.
More and more analysis ... if W wanted to hurt Ted Cruz, he FAILED ... completely.
This same George W Bush who chose to “rise above it” and let the ‘rats get away with every smear and deranged assassination fantasy and outright lies about himself (Dan Rather, etc), but attacks Cruz who has never attacked him, because Cruz is a true conservative.
I agree. Never a word about obammy but chooses to go after Ted, I'm done with W.
That is how I feel as well.
Oh, I gotta hear this.
All the Bushies do this. Let’s not forget mama Bush saying in 2010 that she hoped Palin stayed in Alaska. Never a bad word about Obama, but they could sure pile on Palin.
Why are we surprised. Bush was not conservative.
His spending was off the chart. Also, he made a rookie move
In Iraq.
At least, unlike President Evil, I had some respect for W as a man. I felt his mistakes were honest.
Now I just think he’s just a better-packaged McConnell with a Texas accent.
we are at war
Cruz gives the same degree of thought as Trump does before he mouths off.
I don’t remember W ever speaking out about not liking Obama. When we needed him to he didn’t.
Now, he chooses Cruz.
Democrats and Republicans have gotten away from the US Constitution and that’s why they hate Cruz.
There was more to it in the radio show thatn this brief clip. Mark said you don’t go against the Bush dynasty and they are now after Trump and Cruz.
Levin summed up Bush’s choice to attack Cruz,
“George W. Bush finally pops up, finally speaks out, not in defense of the soldiers in the Middle East, not in defense – like Dick Cheney out there – defending his own policies, not in attacking Obama or how dare he attack the Clinton’s – friends of the family, no! - attacking Ted Cruz, the same way this family attacked Ronald Reagan.”
Jeb Bush Gets More Bad Polling News — in Florida

EXCELLENT CLIP by the “Great One”, Mark Levin - Short and to the point.
And he's also smeared all the (us) "nativists, Isolationists, etc.), all those "isms", who disagreed with his open borders and amnesty policies.
To understand George W. Bush, you must look at those he trusted for advice--such as Karl Rove (a huge memory but no analytic ability.) Or consider the speech writer who wrote his frankly childish Second Inaugural Address (George Washington vs. George W. Bush).
