Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is slamming Jeb Bush for refusing to back him, saying he isn't a "man of honor."
Trump criticized his 2016 primary rival for breaking the pledge he signed last year vowing to support the eventual Republican nominee.
“Jeb Bush dishonored his pledge. I mean he dishonored his pledge,” Trump said on the "Mike Gallagher Show" on Wednesday, as first reported by BuzzFeed News. “He signed a pledge, and, if you remember, they all wanted me to sign it, so I signed it. But that pledge is a guarantee, there’s no outs. It doesn’t say, 'subject to me liking Donald Trump' or anything.”
The former Florida governor said last week he doesn't plan to vote for Trump or Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Instead, he said he will "support principled conservatives at the state and federal levels."

Careful, or his mom will come out and whack you with her cane.
A person who is as viciously rude to others as Donald Trump is cannot legitimately expect them to “back him.” If they don’t publically work against him, they’re being pretty decent.
Pretty much.
When you make a pledge to do something, you do it...Or you are admitting that you are not an honest person....
Trump was not “viciously” rude to anyone UNTIL they attacked him...What surprised them is that he didn’t back down...he gave MORE than he got...Which is the way it should be....
I would have used more vulgar “street” language to describe Jebby.
Jeb vowed to support the nominee only when he thought it was going to be himself. What a slime bag.
So Tax-chick, you are not a person of your word. Nice!
‘Viciously rude’? What, as opposed to syrupy sweet knife in the back rude? Seriously???
“A person who is as viciously rude to others as Donald Trump is cannot legitimately expect them to “back him.” If they don’t publically work against him, they’re being pretty decent.”
Seems each of those you support were equally as rude, and now shown, once again, to be liars and politicians. Seems you have an ethics issue as bad as any liberal: I’ll do what I want and FU if you don’t like it!
Jeb, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and any of the other wannabbees not enthusiastically endorsing Trump are not honorable. If they didn't take signing that pledge as an irreversible commitment to the eventual nominee, they' should not have signed it. How is their character any better than hillary's?
Yes. The Bushes have had nothing but good things to say about Donald Trump!! They welcomed him into the Republican Party as valued donor who was a welcome addition to the excellent field of candidates. They never ran a single negative ad against Donald Trump. It is simply inexplicable why Donald Trump has been so mean to the Bushes.
Well, yes, since you put it that way. That is a different sort of "rude" from Donald Trump's sort.
the bitterness and evil comes from Barbara Bush. She is the mastermind behind the whole Bush dynasty. Looks like the nice cookie lady? She’s not.
If you’re expecting me to assert that any politician is of good character, you’ll be disappointed. I am saying that the events that have occurred are what should have been expected.
Please explain the different sort of rude from another kind of rude, if you can. Sincerely.
