Like many on FR, I like GW as a person and a patriot and a decent and moral man. Unfortunately, socially and financially he’s a Liberal as are all the Bushes.
I wish he had not attacked fellow Texan/Republican Cruz in a pitiful, losing effort to help his brothers failing campaign.

As nearly as I can tell, everything GW said is according to people who were at the event, paraphrasing, so who knows exactly what he said or meant. It does seem he has a dislike for Cruz, since I don’t recall him ever speaking out against any politician.
This is what was reported.
(“I just don’t like the guy,” Bush said Sunday night, according to conversations with more than half a dozen donors who attended the event...One donor, paraphrasing the former president’s comment in response to a broad question about how he viewed the primary race and the other Republican candidates, said: “He said he found it ‘opportunistic’ that Cruz was sucking up to Trump and just expecting all of his support to come to him in the end,” that donor added...“He said he thought Cruz was going to be a pretty formidable candidate against Jeb, especially in Texas and across the South,” a donor said...George W. Bush’s spokesman. “He does not view Sen. Cruz as Gov. Bush’s most serious rival.”)

Sorry I disagree. if Bush was a “Patriot” he would not have sat in silence as the deliberate destruction of the nation was/is taking place under his nose.
In no way does he deserve that honor and that’s a fact.
