Jeb Bush early Wednesday endorsed Ted Cruz’s Republican presidential bid, calling the Texas senator a “consistent, principled conservative.”
Bush, who ended his own campaign last month, said Cruz has “has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests.”
“Washington is broken, and the only way Republicans can hope to win back the White House and put our nation on a better path is to support a nominee who can articulate how conservative policies will help people rise up and reach their full potential," the former Florida governor said.
Bush called on Republicans to “overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity has brought to the political arena” or risk losing the White House.
“To win, Republicans need to make this election about proposing solutions to the many challenges we face, and I believe that we should vote for Ted as he will do just that,” Bush added.
Bush’s endorsement follows Cruz’s win in Tuesday’s Utah caucuses, where he won all 40 of the state’s delegates.
Trump should play with that speech he gave at every turn now.
The whole point I was for cruz at the start was because he was against the establishment, he said so, then now it’s being spun as if it is a good thing and still CW and others won’t wake up.
Shows the back stab of Bush’s protege Rubio.
“In his confirmation hearing, Roberts said he will NOT take any case at SCOTUS that will overturn Roe vs Wade.”
That is grounds for impeachment. A closed mind like that, willfully setting aside any and all sets of facts a priori, is not a jurist. That is an ideologue.
Impeach the poseur.
it really is stunning to see how the guy who said he was against the establishment is now saying it is a good thing he is with them].
For supposedly a smart guy cruz is one dope as the establishment are only using him and will throw him out as soon as cruz has finished their dirty work.
If this were true, Ted wouldn’t even be a US “citizen” of ANY kind!
Since this is the first I’ve seen about this, which would be a BOMBSHELL, I have to question the authenticity of these statements. I notice there is no reference, could you please provide one.
One thing that is upsetting is that at 11 pm, midnight or later, depending on the time zone, those girls are out there on the stage on election night at Ted's rally - trying to depict a wholesome family, I suppose.
“They seemed the most comfortable sitting with Mrs. Trump looking at a cell phone.”
At whatever simple and fleeting level, that was probably an oasis of being treated like real people in their own rights, as opposed to stage props when needed and delegated nuisances when not.
And it will be my distinct pleasure to NOT vote for a Democrat... No matter which party they are running for...
Trump “fans” are looking for their OWN strong-man...
I do pity the children. I haven’t decided yet on Heidi, I guess because I feel like a mother’s first job is to protect her children at all costs. Whether it is fear or ambition, she is not doing that.
the first one is a member of The Conservative Treehouse and Sundance knows who it is since he has the real contact info. He said the info is absolutely from someone in a position to know the truth and the other thing is that Trump knows all about what they’ve been up to. The thing is - it fits.
As far as the information from Cruz’s mother - the neighbor gave her name and it’s all verifiable. I posted the neighbor’s name in a subsequent post. To think that Hillary won’t look into this is...well anyone who knows how much Hillary wants the WH wouldn’t think that.
Thanks for that very interesting insider analysis. It makes sense and explains much.
I’d guess that is part of it.
I believe you are right about that.
"I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape," Trump told ABC News...
"But I think I’d be able to get along very well with Nancy Pelosi and just about everybody," he said. "Hey look, I think I’ll be able to get along well with Schumer, Chuck Schumer. I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways."
When Trump gets what he wants, don't be too heartbroken when he starts wheeling-and-dealing away everything he promised you suckers
“I haven’t decided yet on Heidi, I guess because I feel like a mother’s first job is to protect her children at all costs. Whether it is fear or ambition, she is not doing that.”
Fair point.
I noticed that, too. Maybe she's the only one that hasn't wanted something from them in the way of political photo ops.
If you think a Canadian, whose mother very possibly renounced her Canadian citizenship before her son was born, and whose father was a Cuban/Canadian is not an issue then vote for your man.
But meanwhile ask yourself why Lawrence Tribe called Cruz a hypocrite.
If I were you, CW, I would be totally embarrassed to post this article. Do you not have any pride in your candidate to accept an endorsement only to stop another candidate’s nomination? Jeb is not interested in your candidate to be president and is only using him at this point. Any candidate who allows himself to be manipulated in such a way is a total loser.
If you think Conservative Treehouse is a legitimate source, you need to seek therapy.
