Jeb Bush has endorsed Ted Cruz:

This is after Dubya last year said he didn't like the guy:

This is after Dubya last year said he didn't like the guy:
"I just don't like the guy," Bush said Sunday night, according to conversations with more than half a dozen donors who attended the event…
Bush also cast Cruz's candidacy as an exercise in personal gain, not service. "He sort of looks at this like Cruz is doing it all for his own personal gain, and that's juxtaposed against a family that's been all about public service and doing it for the right reasons," a donor said. "He's frustrated to have watched Cruz basically hijack the Republican Party of Texas and the Republican Party in Washington."
I think we can all see what's going on here. The GOP elite doesn't want Cruz, either. But they see him as the best mechanism to force a contested convention, and pick someone else - like Jeb! or Mitt! or Newt!
And I have to throw in a ::rofl:: over the part about "a family that's been all about public service and doing it for the right reasons"
