US: Bush no longer taken seriously

Jeb Bush’s endorsement of Texas Senator Ted Cruz will not “go anywhere” as the former Florida governor is “no longer taken seriously,” says a political analyst. The former presidential candidate who suspended his own campaign last month, announced endorsement for Cruz’s White House bid Wednesday. 

“Jeb Bush has lost popularity and credibility. His endorsement of Cruz isn’t really going to go anywhere because he’s no longer taken seriously as a candidate or politician,” Costantino Rozzo, a candidate for the US House of Representatives said. Cruz, for his part, said he was “very grateful” for the endorsement, calling Bush “a good man.”
