That’s right, my support for Cruz ended when he hired Neil Bush for his finance advisor on his campaign. Just had to get a Bush in there somehow since Jeb was knocked out I guess. If anyone is unaware with how corrupt Neil Bush is, look up the savings and loan company he owned that cheated people out of millions then took a bailout.

I’d like any Cruz supporter to justify him hiring Neil Bush and still maintaining his outsider status. If anyone has a logical explanation why he couldn’t have gotten anyone else besides a Bush for this position, I’d love to hear it.

Maybe Neil Bush is a good finance adviser. Cruz isn’t allowed to hire the best?

Then you need to renew your support for Cruz, because Cruz didn't "hire" Neil Bush. Bush is a volunteer, a bundler. He is a "member" of the national finance team, which means he has committed to spending serious time with his rolodex and raising a nice chunk of change for the campaign. He is not getting paid.

Bundlers sometimes end up with political appointments if their candidate wins the general election. If the bundler is already a heavyweight in his field, which is often the case, this is a natural appointment and many serve with distinction. If the bundler is mainly a political hustler, the appointment is sometimes a stretch. My seat of the pants sense from the last 20 years or so is that Democrats are worse offenders here than Republicans, but I don't think our hands are entirely clean either. God invented Swaziland and the Maldive Islands for a reason, mainly to give U.S. presidents somewhere harmless to send bundlers as ambassadors. When they send them to real countries, the snub is painful to behold.
