endorsing someone else means doesn't win a lot of voters yourself. jeb bush dislikes donald trump, he thinks he's rude, vulgar new york the a conservative. no not really a republican and would make a terrible president. he criticized jeb bush's brother press george w. bush as a liar saying he took america in to the war against iraq on false intelligence, that doesn't go down well with the bushes. the second reason is jeb bush perhaps sees ted cruz as the only way to stop donald trump getting enough delegates to secure the nomination at this points, this is parts of the republican establishment saying, look, we maybe don't like ted cruz, and they don't, and we really don't like donald trump if we are going to stop trump the best hope we have is ted cruz, if he can get to the convention in cleveland and ohio in july, and there is no clear winter at that point it's a contested convention, at that point the republican establishment might be able to put pressure delegates to vote for someone more electable than

trump and that is cruz. can they run rough shots over hundreds of thousands of republican voters. there is a real risk of alienating the vote force a generation it would be a big step to take. cruz will say it's an important endorsement. it shows i have support across the republican party and shows what i have been saying for weeks i am the only candidate that can stop donald trump. >> in the meantime, alan, the events in brussels prompting some strong views over there on the campaign trail. >> reporter: well, it's interesting that many people see ted cruz as really donald trump saying the same things on the slightly with more thought behind it. and that happened after brussels where donald trump was saying we have to close the borders, we have to build a wall. ted cruz decided that it was time in his words for law enforcement to be empowered in areas and stop radicalization.im now, that set off a firestorm of criticism from the new york

police commissioner, from various democratic politicians, and we waited to find out what the president would saying when he weighed in. he was asked about it during his trip to argentina on tuesday and he said that ted cruz had got this not just wrong, but really wrong. he is, look, i have just come from a country, cuba, where the they monitor groups and individuals and we don't like that. and ted cruz's father didn't like that because he left the country therefore we really don't want to start going down that road because this isn't america. a is for ted cruz, he responded saying, look, i am not going take any lectures on isil from president obama who has under estimated the threat from them from the very beginning has never managed to get a coherent policy to di defeat them so he continues to say what he says and he will be slightly em bold ended by the fact that jeb bush gave him listen tours. and seems to be doing more with the establishment of the republican party. see that in the background. >> very neat. thanks indeed, alan. >> u.s. president obama is in in
