Jeb Bush is denying a report that claimed he's voting for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Bush says he hasn't made a decision and suggested he may not cast a ballot at all.

'If everybody didn't vote, that would be a pretty powerful political statement, wouldn't it?' he said, according to CNN, after he was asked what would happen if other voters followed his lead.

The Republican politician's father George H.W. Bush had his plans to cross party lines at vote for Hillary Clinton revealed by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

Bush said at a Thursday event in Massachusetts at a venue named after Townsend's uncle, John F. Kennedy, that he thought her behavior was 'a little inappropriate' and trashed her for taking advantage of his father.

!Jeb is tainting the entire family, and they don’t deserve that.

Except — his father and/or brother should have told him to shut up.

I have lost respect for ALL OF THEM.

Unfaithful to the party — L-O-S-E-R-S.

Jeb had 4 out of 2340 delegates to the RNC this year. I’d rather have his dozens of supporters backing Trump, but I’m not going to panic if we lose all of them. They are pro-Amnesty and support big government, just like Jeb, so there is not much chance of them supporting Trump in any case.

Note: I supported Cruz, and I admit that was a horrible mistake. However, I am glad Ted Cruz endorsed Trump. It is very important for Trump to get as many Cruz votes as possible. Cruz had a lot of support, and he still has enough loyal followers that they are likely to matter in the swing states.

Historically only 50% plus eligible voters voted in a presidential election. So let’s see what the percentage will be this time around.

I suspect the only way nobody votes is if he runs again - nobody will vote for him.

‘If everybody didn’t vote, that would be a pretty powerful political statement, wouldn’t it?’

That is called nihilism, which is chaos.


I think among the Bush clan it's called sour grapes.

The Bushes are a menace. If Reagan had not felt the need to “balance the ticket” we might have all been spared two decades of sliding down the slippery slope.

Hindsight is 20-20. Reagan cannot be blamed. But, we should have seen through Bush the elder from the first.

I guess the voters made a “powerful statement” in the primaries Jeb was in.
