Right, the Bush dynasty hates Cruz. That's why Cruz is now running on and supported by the Bush dynasty insider money.

Neil Bush, the son of President George H. W. Bush, who defrauded U.S. taxpayers out of $1.5 billion dollars in the savings and loan scam, and later peddled influence for the Chinese government, (who plied him with Chinese prostitutes) has formally endorsed Senator Ted Cruz for president. You can’t make this stuff up.
>> Cruz and his wife were both legal GOPhers for the Bush dynasty. It’s all the information I need. But thanks. <<
Yes, Cruz was candidate Bush’s domestic policy advisor as Bush was campaigning on promises to oppose amnesty. After the election, he went back to Texas. Bush broke the pledge to oppose amnesty, but the promises Cruz written were immensely helpful in rallying the country to reject Bush’s 2007 amnesty. Based on the brokenness of the pledge, we were able to convince the American public not to believe Bush’s promises he made in exchange for amnesty in his “Comprehensive Immigration Reform.”
That’s right: without Cruz, we would have had amnesty in 2007.
“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice,” Cruz told CBN. “Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me.”
He is hardly referring to Trump followers as "Low-IQ voters". So yet again, his comments are taken out of context and repeated over and over again.
He should know better by now that this will happen and choose his language more carefully. He's not playing smart ball.
Cruz used that term "low information voters" which Rush and others on the right use to describe stupid Obama voters and other dem voters. Cruz is a lawyer, remember, he seldom says exactly what he means. It is left to us to decipher his legalese.
Oh, and it's Trump's fault that Cruz demeaned Trump's supporters. You sure you're not a dem at heart, or in real life for that matter?
If you’re attempting to convince me to vote for the Cruz/Bush team, ferrrget it. Not going to happen.
This Headline is not accurate!!! If you read the article is says that Cruz and Bush don’t like each other much!!!
Right, the Bush dynasty hates Cruz. That's why Cruz is now running on and supported by the Bush dynasty insider money.
Drudge - sold his soul to Trump. He no longer is a reliable unbiased source. And big deal, Cruz used to work for Bush. I find it rather laughable, if not outright hypocritical, that people are trying to do a “gotcha” on Cruz, because he worked with and knows the Bush family, yet completely ignore (or worse, defend) all the ties Trump has to the Clintons. Not to mention all the other Democrats Trump has ties to....
But God forbid the same standards are applied to Trump, that are applied to all the other candidates...
That said, in case people don’t know...
Ted is more than qualified to be POTUS. WAY more than any of the other candidates. He has a consistent record that supports his knowledge, experience and ability to do the #1 job a President is supposed to do, and that is as the head of the executive branch of the federal government, to ensure that all the nation’s laws are “faithfully executed.” And knowing the constitution as he does, and upholding and fighting for it, as he has, consistently, gives him the upper hand on being qualified.
Here is more of his record and experience, and yes, he has created jobs. Maybe not working FOR him, but he has helped create private sector jobs.
Ted Cruz loved the Constitution and debating since high school. He spent a lot of time on debating teams and actually made small amounts of money speaking at places like the VFW and American Legion which he saved an applied to college.
Ted Cruz worked his way through college; Princeton and Harvard and specialized in constitutional law. He finished at the top of his class, was considered one of the most brilliant students and as such, was selected to clerk for the Chief Justice William Rehnquist of the Supreme Court. This is an honor that only goes to the very best and brightest and immerse you in constitutional law.
After Cruz finished his clerkships, he took a position with Cooper, Carvin & Rosenthal, now known as Cooper & Kirk, LLC, from 1997 to 1998. While with the firm, Cruz worked on matters relating to the National Rifle Association, and helped prepare testimony for the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton.
Cruz joined the George W. Bush presidential campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising then-Governor George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform. In other words, in private practice and working for George Bush, Ted Cruz was no ordinary lawyer. He was immersed in the policies and values we hold dear today.
Where it gets really good
After working for George Bush, he was appointed to work at the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) as director of policy planning. In that role, he cut through the red tape and regulations to help create tens of thousands of jobs. Ted Cruz knew if you de-regulate, you unchain business and growth occurs.
While working at the FTC, he was asked to become the Solicitor General of Texas by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. The office had been established in 1999 to handle appeals involving the state, but Abbott hired Cruz with the idea that Cruz would take a “leadership role in the United States in articulating a vision of strict constructionism.”
As Solicitor General, Cruz argued before the Supreme Court of the United States nine times.
Ted fought before the supreme court for our “right to keep and bear arms” in the most famous gun rights case to date; District of Columbia v Heller. In addition to his success in Heller, Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5–4.
Ted fought before the supreme court in the famous Medellin v. Texas case where he battled the UN, World Court, 90 countries and even George W. Bush to defend American sovereignty and won. Anyone that thinks Ted favors the NWO or world dominion better look at this because nothing could be further than from the truth. Ted feels that no country and certainly not the U.N. can tell the United States what to do. All power is vested in our own government of the people and the constitution.
When Ted Cruz decide to run for the Senate, he was going up against the incumbent democrat who had deep pockets. When he told his party and looked for support, they told him “wait your turn” because they had already picked out a RINO for the job. Ted went against the and went “grass roots to the people” winning the election by a landslide.
In the Senate, Ted has fought time and time again to protect our rights and fight the left. In many cases, he has had to fight his own party as well when they so easily give in and cut deals. He is not considered an insider in any way, shape or form. He has called for border security, a wall, deportation and fought amnesty since before 2012.
But Cruz opposed.Bush on the Medellin case. Cruz won.
Oh for crying out loud, people!! Just because a member of the Bush family decides to support Cruz or Trump, that DOES NOT MAKE EITHER ONE AN ESTABLISHMENT HACK! Bottome line, the Establishment HATES both candidates and would love nothing more than to take BOTH of them out!
Hot damn, I’m getting so sick and tired of the mudslinging from both sides.
“Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.”
So true! I will always remember this quote from Andrew Breitbart.
“The truth isn’t mean, it’s just the truth!”
Hey, if you want to support the Cruz/Bush team, I have no problem with you doing that.
His complete statement, in context.
Ted Cruz: “Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me.”
And not once did he call anyone stupid, dumb or even illicit that idea. It’s true, that people who are not informed and not engaged in ANYTHING, tend to be less aware of what is going on and therefore tend to not be fully informed to make important decisions.
I just love all how people are once again taking it out of context, reading into it what isn’t there and starting the usual attacks, because they can’t argue it on logic or on it’s merits.
Cruz is 100% correct in his statement.
What do you get when a Trump supporter vets candidates?
A Cruz supporter
How GW Bush confidant Rafael Cruz is running as an “outsider” should be put in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not”.
What a joke.
I supported the Reagan/Bush team and that worked out pretty well.
Bull!! Cruz was a flunky in 2007 and was not even in office as Senator.
There is a local talk show host who has no warm feeling toward the Bush family. Yet he claims that Neil Bush has been unjustly attacked. High finance bores me to tears, so I never looked into it.
You seem to have a case of microagression.

Not Answering the Caul
National Journal: Hotline Latest Edition (USA) - October 27, 2011
EXCERPT
Cruz “has become a cause célèbre for tea party activists around the country.” But he “does have establishment ties.” Cruz mgr John Drogin is a former staffer to NRSC chair John Cornyn (R). Drogin “is a known quantity” in TX circles, “and his decision to sign on with Cruz gives the campaign credibility” with GOPers in D.C. and Austin. Cornyn “is not getting involved publicly in the primary” ( Livingston, Roll Call, 10/27). Snake Oil
Cruz “has been focusing some of his harshest campaign trail rhetoric on that longtime villain of those suspicious of U.S. internationalism”: The Council on Foreign Relations. During a speech to a GOP women’s group last week, Cruz said the Council on Foreign Relations is “a pit of vipers.” When asked about the Council at another event on Oct. 15, Cruz called the organization “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty,” according to “video provided by someone who opposes his candidacy.”
But Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz, “was an active member” of the Council on Foreign Relations until this June. She was a member until June on a 5-year “term membership” program, “an official at the organization confirmed.”
Cruz spokesperson James Bernsen: “It was never the main point of that debate and this race isn’t about the CFR, this race is about who’s going be the best senator from Texas. ...
Why, gee!! Thank you so much, your royal highness!! I feel so relieved that I can now go on with my day knowing that YOU would have no problem with me supporting such a team!! :-D
Regardless, Cruz still remains my first choice and Trump remains a close second. I will fully support either one who earns the GOP nomination.
Now get over yourself.
Stay out of the Bushes.
