GWB and his Lieutenant Rove actively tried to sabotage the Cruz campaign when he first ran for Senate in 2012.
Interesting history between the two, Ted writes about it in his book.
It is interesting, because GHWB donated to Ted Cruz's campaign during the primary against Dewhurst.
It was after he and his wife visited GHWB and Barbara in Kennebunkport.
As he was leaving, GHWB gave Cruz a check.
I think it was $1,000.00, and Cruz was told he has GHWB's endorsement.
Rove had a fit, and told him to return the money, but there was some kind of campaign finance laws that didn't allow him to do that.
So Rove said he understood that, but told Cruz not to say he was endorsed by GHWB.
Cruz went back to GHWB, telling him what had happened, and that he was told not to use GHWB as an endorsement.
GHWB graciously said "I understand".
Cruz did not mention that GHWB endorsed him until 2015, 3 years later, when he wrote his book.
