My take?
Cruz is a place-holder.
He’s going to throw his delegates to Jeb! at the open convention, and Cruz is going to be VP.
Cruz cannot appear to be counter to Jeb! policies.
He’s already walking back deportation and keeping illegals out of the country.
Hence the lesser Bush jumping in to ‘clarify’.
These Bush people and their legalese and weaselly language are the reasons nobody made it out of the gate in the primaries.
Plausible and will almost be enjoyable to watch that idiot Jeb fare worse than Mondale in a general election
You may be on to something there. It’s sickening isn’t it?
