Jeb Bush endorses Cruz as a 'consistent, principled conservative'
The Hill ^ | March 22, 2016 | Klye Balluck

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.

A vote for Cruz is a vote for Bush!

They’ve now totally infiltrated the Cruz campaign.

I don’t unify with wretched RINOs. Cruz is a liar and a trojan horse capitulator who has sold his so called principles for raw ambition.

He doesn’t deserve to ever be a President.

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

Of what?

Are you seriously just trolling, or do you actually live in a universe that consists of so much BS that you actually believe it?

My guess would be neutral to positive. If an endorsement came from someone really bad (e.g. Fidel Castro), that might make some news among the chattering class. I am expecting most people that are very much opposed to Trump will endorse Cruz over Kasich.

What might be an interesting exercise to track the people who might be VP candidates that have not endorsed anyone - trying to keep their options open, regardless of who gets the nomination.

The race is over. There is no path for Cruz to win.

Both of those kids give him ugly looks. Something isn’t right with the Cruz family.

Ignoring Cruz’s lies, deception, ObamaTRADE, and
dirty tricks for a moment, is there a single
open real election (not caucus) that the oily lawyer
has “won”?

Ah, yes, the distracting Wizard of Oz post to divert attention away from reality.

It will be President Ted Cruz come 2017.

After what happened yesterday in Brussels, had to wait for a while for Cruz’s response. Is Ted Cruz WEAK on national security?

Excellent! One more in the foam party for oily Felito!

I think the only remaining endorsement that could do the Crapulous Camouflaged Canadian more damage would be Charles Manson.

This is great news!

the GOPe dislikes Cruz NOT because he’s an outsider, but because he’s an INSIDER who decided the best way to advance himself was to bite the hand that fed him.

Actually, the GOPe (and anyone who knows him personally) dislikes Ted Cruz because he's the walking definition of a complete and total a-hole.

Hang on back a few weeks ago you and others were proudly saying how great cruz was because he was not part of the establishment, you could not stand the Bushes and now when cruz;s campaign is not looking good you are happy he is working with the establishment and the bushes.

WOW so much for standing on principle.
