Former president George W. Bush is headlining fundraisers for GOP candidates facing tough challenges ahead of the midterm elections. He won’t, however, be appearing on behalf of his home state Texas senator Ted Cruz, notes The Dallas Morning News. Bush said of Cruz at a GOP fundraising event in late 2015: “I just don’t like the guy,” several donors on scene told Politico. Cruz was running at the time against Bush’s brother, Jeb Bush, for the GOP presidential nomination. “The tenor of what he said about the other candidates was really pretty pleasant,” one witness told Politico.
