What’s more surprising — Jeb Bush endorsing Ted Cruz, or Ted Cruz bragging about it? After winning Utah but losing Arizona, Team Cruz sent out a statement this morning announcing the backing of the one man who most embodied the Republican establishment against which Cruz has spent his term in the Senate fighting:
“Today, I am endorsing Ted Cruz for President,” said Bush. “Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who 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.”
Bush continued, “For the sake of our party and country, we must move to overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena, or we will certainly lose our chance to defeat the Democratic nominee and reverse President Obama’s failed policies. 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.”
And for good measure, Bush posted a somewhat lengthier Facebook message urging Republicans to unite behind Cruz:
As I said from the moment I launched my presidential campaign, the stakes in 2016 couldn’t be higher.
Washington is broken, too many families are stuck in poverty and Western civilization is under attack from radical Islamic terrorists, as evidenced by the horrific attack in Brussels, which was preceded by attacks in Paris and California. …
Republicans can win back the White House and put our nation on a path to security and prosperity if we support a nominee who can unite our party and articulate how conservative policies will help people rise up and reach their full potential.
