Jeb’s brother Neil Bush joins Cruz finance team, possibly opening door to more Bush support
Dallas Morning News ^ | 3/8/16 | Todd J. Gillman

Posted on 03/08/2016 12:44:03 PM PST by jimbo123

Neil Bush, brother of Jeb and George W. Bush, has joined the Ted Cruz national finance team, the senator’s campaign announced this afternoon.

Whether Neil Bush is an outlier within the family, or the vanguard of a dynastic shift, remains to be seen.

“This is certainly great news,” said Cruz communications director Alice Stewart.

-snip-

Neil Bush, a Houston businessman, was a director at Denver-based Silverado Savings and Loan in the 1980s. Its failure caused political headaches for his father, then the vice president.

They can take down Cruz any time they want to by selecting a judge who will rule against his Natural Born Citizen status. Cruz either has to play ball or get disqualified.

Is he arrogant enough to think his becoming President is so important that he should sacrifice important principles to get there? Now it makes sense that Cruz and John Roberts were good friends.

Looks like Cruz is unifying the party behind him.

If trump doesn’t get to the magic number by convention time the re-vote will likely go to Cruz.

That will upset roughly 35% of the primary voters but if Cruz gets anywhere near 60% in the re-vote they’ll have to admit that Cruz wins in a head to head. Well, they should admit it but I’m sure they never will.

As far as I can tell Neil Bush has largely stayed out of politics.

That's because everyone who was involved in the S&L mess was toxic. (Except for McCain, and he was just trying to use his office to help out a friend.)

I’ve been told that not voting for the GOP candidate is the same as voting for Hillary. The additional remark has been Do you really want Hillary as your president? followed often by You GOPe people don’t care about the country! or some other nonsense.

My advice? Do whatever makes you proud that you cast your ballot. I’ve cast far too many for people I didn’t think should hold the office.

He’s pulling in Republicans.

Celebrate it. Like when Trump draws in Democrats.

You have never really cared if Cruz was anti-establishment though have you?

Did they just thaw you out, Iceman? Cruz has been in bed with the Bushes for fifteen years. Why would mega-international-bankers like Goldman-Sachs and Citibank finance this guys campaigns... Why is his wife a managing director of one of said banks... Why did he vote in favor of the Traitorous Obamatrade TPP.... Wake up Cruzers... Trump is the only one who is not owned by the establishment. Cruz is a play acting hypocrite.

Well done!

Look, Cruz needs all the help he can get and the fact that the establishment recognizes him as the only one who can beat trump means they aren’t completely insane.

They’ll vote for someone who makes them behave vs. someone who makes them, and their voters, look like idiots in the general.

Oh stop with your stupidity. David Duke didn’t endorse Trump nor did he join his financial team. Trump has disavowed this guy time and time again - yet, not once has Cruz disavowed Glenn Beck. I suppose you think you are being clever - FAIL!

swing states

VA Cruz came third and never won a single county
FL Cruz is third
OH Cruz is third
CO don’t know but I cannot see the demographics going for Cruz.

Cruz is screwed. No wonder he keeps parroting for Rubio to get out and vote for him instead of others.
