“A prominent aide to George W. Bush’s 2000 campaign could barely contain himself when we asked him to discuss Cruz, who worked in the Bush campaign’s policy shop.
This person described Cruz as hyper-arrogant and widely despised, and he emphasized—over and over—that the pervasive dislike of Cruz within the Bush ranks had nothing to do with ideology.
(Cruz, he noted, never objected to Bush’s call for compassionate conservatism, immigration reform, and national education standards, and no one on the campaign regarded him as an ideologue.)
The problem was simple: Cruz’s personality.
“Ted thought he was an expert on everything,” says this campaign veteran, who asked not to be named. “He was a smart and talented guy, but completely taken with himself and his own ideas. He would offer up opinions on everything, even matters outside his portfolio. He was a policy guy, but he would push his ideas on campaign strategy. He would send memos on everything to everyone. He would come to meetings where he wasn’t invited—and wasn’t wanted.”
In fact, this Bush alum recalls, “the quickest way for a meeting to end would be for Ted to come in. People would want out of that meeting. People wouldn’t go to a meeting if they knew he would be there. It was his inability to be part of the team. That’s exactly what he was: a big a$$hole.”
“I don’t know anyone who had a decent relationship with Cruz.” And when Bush became president, his top campaign aides agreed Cruz should not be offered a job in the White House.
“No one wanted to work with him,” this source remembers. “George W. Bush couldn’t stand the guy.”
This person adds, “It’s a real quandary for Bush campaign people: Trump versus Cruz, who to vote for? And it would be a big quandary even if it’s Cruz versus Hillary Clinton. That’s how much they cannot stand him.”

you might be hearing this but you know....it takes relationships to win all these caucuses. and that is something DT is not willing to do....get in there, get dirty and make relationships. maybe he feels like it is beneath him. i have always said if he wins the nomination i will vote for him but he really reminds me of Obama. just different world view on finance.

Cruz sounds absolutely perfect! This is what we need in a conservative president. Someone who is confident in his abilities and unwilling to back down from a fight. We want someone who will get things done. The problem most people here have with the Republican party is that they're afraid to fight and they roll over anytime they think anyone is going to criticize them.
All of that has become obvious because of his daily exposure. He’s vile.
My Oh My, a Freeper now quoting DAVID KORN? That Fabulous Trump Cliff must be getting very close.
