Jeb Bush, who unsuccessfully ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, told CNBC on Thursday he feels like a "fish out of water" in the current state of divisiveness in America.

But this political environment right now, I'm not suited for. To be honest with you. I'm a fish out of water. I can't imagine having to attack someone to make yourself look strong."
In the "Squawk Box" interview, Bush said he did not vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 election and did not vote for Hillary Clinton.
However, Bush said, "I'm not a 'never Trumper.'" He said fellow Republicans should work with and "praise the president when he does good things," such as tax reform and deregulation.
"But when he goes beyond the line, or anybody else does for that matter, you have to stand on principle," he said.

Love this video. Luke warm Jeb.

...I cant imagine standing up on my tippytoes like a third grader...

The glory of Trump’s take down of the Bushes is that Bush Senior is alive to witness the total destruction of thei globalist crime family.
What a joke. Behind the scenes, Jeb is known as a nasty guy.
Still sulking and complaining.
To be frank, I think if Trump hadn’t run, it wouldn’t have been Jeb, anyway. Probably Cruz would have been the nominee.
“I’d never do what Trump did to get elected.”
What’s that Jeb, work hard, hold huge rallies, make promises and keep them, speak for the forgotten men and women?
Please clap.
“That passage from Revelations “
Just one Revelation.
Fits with my planned comment that he ought to change the “B” in his last name to an “M”
Low energy Yeb
I think to get to Purgatory you have to follow the yellow brick road. Or is that Oz? I can’t remember.
GHWB ran on Reagans coattails and then undid as many of Reagans accomplishments as he could. The deep-state guy led the deep-state CIA. He never was to be trusted.
I can’t find Brooklyn from Staten Island :)
I heard say once that it was created to appease those who were terrified of the fire and brimstone OR Heaven and nothing in between.
but what do i know?
Does he mean telling the truth?
Does he mean telling the truth?
Clap, Jebbie, clap, a one handed Mehican cockroach ...
I remember, as a child, being extremely uncomfortable when GHWB was talking about the NWO. I didn’t know what it meant but even then, I felt there was something evil and dangerous about his words.
The cultural environment changed because the leftists finally unmasked themselves after facing an existential threat to their 40 year democrat rule as the Lizard man had proclaimed after the election of the man who calls himself Barack Hussein Obama II.
He means speak the truth.
