Former Jeb Bush Supporter Boyden Gray Now Backing Ted Cruz
The Texas senator picks up another supporter of his former presidential rival.
By
Washington super-lawyer C. Boyden Gray, a longtime confidant of the Bush family who originally supported former Florida Governor Jeb Bush's campaign, says he's now supporting Ted Cruz because the Texas senator's policies closely align with his legal views.
The GOP establishment fixture believes a Cruz administration would be best on the issues he engages with in his practice. Gray represents corporations, trade associations and state governments in battles with federal agencies. He told Bloomberg that Cruz is "the most qualified to deal with overregulation and the administrative state," and added, "I don't think Trump has a clue about it."
