Regarding “Bush hits trail for Senate hopefuls — but not Cruz” (Page A5, Saturday), it’s not surprising that former President George W. Bush is not campaigning for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Bush, like his father and his brother, has always been a creature of the D.C. establishment and, like it, has never had much use for conservatives, particularly those who affiliated themselves with the tea party.
Cruz has devoted his political career to upsetting the establishment and draining the swamp. The Republican base could not be happier with his efforts.
