Jeb Bush To Endorse Sen. Ted Cruz For Antidote To Donald Trump's 'Divisiveness'

Jeb Bush

As Sen. Ted Cruz slowly emerges as the Republican's only possible "anti-Trump" candidate, word comes that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will endorse Cruz today citing the "divisiveness and vulgarity" of current front-runner Donald Trump.

Via Politico:

Cruz, in New York City on Wednesday, planned to celebrate with a victory lap of three network morning shows. The endorsement comes 32 days after a beaten Bush dropped out of the GOP presidential race, and eight days since Sen. Marco Rubio abandoned his own quest after being rebuffed by Bush, his fellow Floridian and one-time mentor.

Bush says in a statement to be released by the Cruz campaign: “Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests.”

“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,” the statement continues.
