Trump accuses Jeb Bush of mounting convention coup
The Hill ^ | June 18, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 06/18/2016 1:22:24 PM PDT by maggief

Donald Trump on Saturday accused Jeb Bush of mounting a convention coup against him, after reports that Republican delegates who don't personally support Trump are looking for ways to avoid voting for him this summer.

"By the way, Jeb is working on the movement, just so you understand," Trump said to supporters at a rally in Las Vegas.

"Jeb is one of the people that's working — and the other one should be obvious," he said, though he didn't elaborate further.

Earlier at the rally, however, Trump echoed the Republican National Committee and said the reports were a media hoax.

"It's all made up by the press, folks. It's a hoax," Trump said. "This is a story — who are they going to pick? I beat everybody. I beat the hell out of them."

The biggest mistake Ronald Reagan ever made was making globalist George Bush his Vice President. That family has haunted America ever since.

I have never heard that the Bushes may not serve in elected office.

That’s what happens - sometimes unfortunately - when you have somebody who speaks without a script. He reflects what WE’RE talking about, and, either deep down or not so deep down, we have such incredible distrust and dislike of the Bush / Cruz types of the world that we wouldn’t put it past them to try and deny the choice of the people. After all, by their refusing to support Trump - or even mention his name - these people have already shown that they’re traitors to their party who would be more than happy to see that evil Witch put into office.

When will Jeb understand that Trump has a majority of the delegates? Trump won. Get used to it, Jeb.

Really? How about this one. This is the reason Cruz is holding onto to his 600+ delegates. When the SHTF, Cruz takes his supporters and pledges them to Trump?

Want to destroy the establishment? That does it and 1) it becomes perfect revenge for Cruz and 2) saves conservatism.

Remember how every Trump supporter demanded Cruz release his delegates? Well if he did, and they pulled this on Trump, conservatism dies as does the country. There is something going on here and it involves Cruz and Trump.

sit back and enjoy the show. We are just getting through the previews.

Jebbie said long ago that Trump would NEVER be the nominee, but Jebbie won’t be either.

It’s not Jebbie’s money, but that of “others” too blind to see.

Reagan also had other bad errors: Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, King Day.

It’s amazing that TX still has faith in a new generation of Bushes, led by the hapless George P.

It HAS haunted America -- actually helped destroy America -- but The Gipper had no choice.

Rockefeller, representing the cabal of NWO Globalists, made Reagan an offer he couldn't refuse: Establishment GOP support, OR find the Party opposing him tacitly or overtly. (Pretty much what the current GOPe is doing to Trump.)

In exchange for Establishment GOPe support, GH Poppy Bush's VP slot was extorted from Reagan. The rest is damnable history.

Thanks to the Bushes and the wrecking-ball they taken to this nation, the agenda of their Saudi-Caliphate and New World Order now governs the world.

A suggestion.
Compare the Bushes to the Adams Family of Boston, both from essentially the same neighborhood.
* The Adams’ were movers and shakers at our creation who left an astonishing legacy of achievement in diplomacy, governance, arts, letters, business, among others; for more than 100 years.
* The Bushes do politics and George senior served honorably in WW2. Otherwise the comparison pales into insignificance.

Look at where the GOP insiders have gotten us.

The GOP insiders/Establishment have gotten us a one-way ticket to Hell. And at that, they're not even happy with the depth of Dante's Inferno.

Remember when they assured us in 2004, "Just wait until we have a (R) majority, we'll be able to reverse the elevator to Hell!"? They lied, didn't they? Dubya Bush held a House and Senate majority, AND SC majority, then stunningly proceeded to advance the Liberal-Dem agenda.

Now during 0bozo's regime the GOPe have done exactly the same: LIED THROUGH THEIR TEETH/FANGS. The elevator cable has snapped and we're still fast plummeting past "H" as the GOPe insiders give us the middle finger while cackling along with their Dem allies.

“The biggest mistake Ronald Reagan ever made was making globalist George Bush his Vice President. That family has haunted America ever since.”

GHWB was the “price” RR had to pay for GOPe support. It was his biggest mistake. Trump will not give in to these worthless GOPe pr1cks, and he will win wtthout them.

Donald Trump is now the defacto leader of the GOP. Romney, Ryan, KaSick, Cruz & Bush can go pound sand! They have no power! TRUMP and We The People have destroyed them! Trump should throw them ALL out the door in Cleveland!
