Jeb Bush: I will not vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton
Facebook via Drudge Report ^ | May 6, 2916 | Jeb Bush

Posted on 05/06/2016 1:43:58 PM PDT by Freedom56v2

I congratulate Donald Trump on securing his place as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee. There is no doubt that he successfully tapped into the deep sense of anger and frustration so many Americans around the country rightfully feel today.

The tremendous anger of the current U.S. electorate – whether Republican, Democrat or independent – is a result of people fearful about the future, concerned with the direction of our country and tremendously frustrated by the abject failure and inability of leaders in Washington, D.C. to make anything better.

American voters have made it clear that Washington is broken, but I’m not optimistic that either of the leading candidates for President will put us on a better course.

The American Presidency is an office that goes beyond just politics. It requires of its occupant great fortitude and humility and the temperament and strong character to deal with the unexpected challenges that will inevitably impact our nation in the next four years.

Donald Trump has not demonstrated that temperament or strength of character. He has not displayed a respect for the Constitution. And, he is not a consistent conservative. These are all reasons why I cannot support his candidacy.

Hillary Clinton has proven to be an untrustworthy liberal politician who, if elected, would present a third term of the disastrous foreign and economic policy agenda of Barack Obama.

In November, I will not vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but I will support principled conservatives at the state and federal levels, just as I have done my entire life. For Republicans, there is no greater priority than ensuring we keep control of both chambers of Congress.

Why do I get the feeling that 90% of you voting for Trump were Never McCain and Never Romney, giving us the Marxist Communist Obama?

Don’t rush to the front to confess your hypocricy.

OK there, Jebbie. You have the integrity of a 3-day old french fry and frankly nobody really cares. As you’re a very slow learner, keep saying what’s on your mind so you can prove it to yourself.

How elitist to believe every stoopid thing you say is newsworthy.

Of course not.

My point was Bush hates Trump,
but he really did not support, the alternative, Cruz either.

I think we may be seeing the GOP establishment begin the forming of their third party with a candidate and a slate of Representatives who support them instead of the Republican nominee

“We all knew the “loyalty oath” was just bull$hit...”

Good point. What happened to your “loyalty oath,” Jeb? Or do you not have any integrity AT ALL?

This election cycle has really shown these people up, hasn’t it? You know, the ones who think they’re the entitled class, and the candidate of “we the people” is simply something they need to scrape off their $1000 shoes.

These GOP elites are showing themselves to be the pathetic, childish losers they are. Go away, Jeb. No one gives a hoot in hell who you vote for you spineless little Momma’s boy.

They are going to have a candidate that they will vote for and they intend to split the party.

And [Jeb] violated his pledge.

If this is true, shouldn't he be pilloried for it?

I think eventually, some of these butthurt elites will come around.

But it really doesn't matter. It's up to them.

Whether Donald Trump becomes President is completely beyond their control at this point.

It's all up to We the People.

If Donald Trump just speaks directly to the People, he's going to connect with them, and all the elites in the country aren't going to be able to stop it.

The more I see, the more I realize we've got a REVOLUTION on our hands here. And it's a GOOD thing...

Vote Trump

It’s “hypocrisy.” And BTW, we held our noses and voted for those two losers. So take your “hypocricy” and your Obama and shove it.

“This makes Pat Buchanan right aka his 1992 speech to the RNC convention, and resets the table back to the “Reagan Era”( and don’t think that doesn’t absolutely frost them, both Pat and the reset).”

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I feel absolute joy that George Herbert Walker Bush has lived long enough to see his legacy come undone. Even if they stop Trump, they cannot stop the landslide which will sweep away his precious “new world order”.

What happened to the famed class and graciousness of the Bush clan? They’ve cemented their irrelevance. Buh-bye.
