Zach Carter — [Jeb Bush] Slams Ted Cruz: 'Show A Little Self-Restraint'

[ABC's John] Karl asked Bush if he had a message for Cruz.
"Have a little bit of self-restraint," Bush replied. "It might actually be a politically better approach to see the massive dysfunction, but we don't even hear about that because we've stepped on that message ... show a little self-restraint and let this happen a little more organically."
Bush said the shutdown had damaged America's reputation abroad.
"When we have these political conversations that are not grounded in reality, the rest of the world looks at us as untrustworthy," Bush said.

Gentle smackdown, but a smackdown nevertheless.

No less a GOP political figure than Richard Viguerie has called this a GOP "civil war."
