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.

Jeb doesn’t need Trump to have a future

After winning NO states, Jeb doesn't have a future. And after Jeb's endorsement of that slimy weasel Lyin' Ted Cruz, neither does Cruz.

Well, ¡Cheb! endorsing Cruz could be a liability, driving more people to Trump.

Cruz continues to build a broad coalition and unify the party.

What do you think about Christie and Carson - principled men?

[mkjessup]

No surprise that you were unable to refute the facts in my post #45 regarding your lies about the non-existent ‘Duke’ endorsement. You have nothing but hate left, hate for Trump, and you like the rest of your fellow Cruz Worshipers are embracing the new GOPe candidate. Wear your RINO lapel pin proudly, you’ve earned it.

Christie - ALL TIME gun grabber...

Carson - traded his endorsement for a job....

lol

[major-pelham]

Apparently the irony of this is lost on you.

What do you think about Christie and Carson - principled men?

They've got more of a future than Lyin' Ted Cruz and Jebuardo Bush!

[csvset]

A coalition of the ragged GOPe roadkill, lol. Dead possums for Ted !

[protest1]

Ted Cruz is he still a Mormon today or has he become a Christian again now he has got the Mormon vote?

Ted Cruz your RINO candidate for President.

[bfh333]

And Trump is no RINO? Do tell...

Because until 8 months ago, you couldn’t tell him from Hillary Clinton...

Why do I read it - I like to be informed. I read plenty of stuff I ultimately disagree with after weighing both sides of the issue. I thought that is what intelligent people do.

[VanDeKoik]

And the closed ones too.

What is your point?

[slipper]

I think this is the plan, Cruz is to be the nominee....then, shortly after, the Dems take him to court over his eligibility as a US Citizen. That is when Bush will take over.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Cruz continues to build a broad coalition and unify the party.

Just as he said - as he's organized and worked for.

He did what he told Texans he'd do when he asked them to elect him to the U.S. Senate. And when he did, the D.C. establishment rose up against him; now they must rally to him.

Stunning.

Cincinatus Wife ...

'bfh333' ...

Traded whatever conservative values they once had
in order to support the RINO choice of the GOPe.

Pick up your free Bush guacamole bowl and 2012 Romney bumper sticker at your local GOP office.

Ouch !!! This has to hurt.

Well, if he had principles, it would hurt, but he (Cruz) doesn’t.
