Jeb Bush says he would support Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton

The Guardian ^ | 11/29/15 | Martin Pengelly

Jeb Bush would support Donald Trump if the real estate billionaire were to win the Republican presidential nomination, "because anybody is better than Hillary Clinton".

The former Florida governor thinks that outcome unlikely, however, because the more voters hear of Trump, particularly on foreign policy, "the less likely he's going to get the Republican nomination".

Another candidate, John Kasich, was asked on Sunday whether he would commit to supporting Trump should he win the nomination. The Ohio governor, whose campaign this week released an ad that appeared to compare Trump to Hitler, would not say whether he would. Instead, like Bush, he said Trump would not win the nod.

Oh I wouldn't make that assumption, after all GWB has referred to that sexual predator Bill Clinton as his 'brother from another mother' and Jebuardo himself awarded a medal to Hillary, so it stands to reason that America's two families of treason might stick together:

HOORAY Jeb Bush. So true that I could vote for Jeb just on that statement alone.

You sure went cheap.

You sure went cheap.

Thanks for calling me out, mkjessup. It's hard to disagree with you. Hillaryous is that EVIL. THAT POS SHOULD BE IN PRISON.

[mkjessup]

Oh she is indeed evil and should be in prison, but that doesn’t make Jeb Bush suddenly worthy of your vote, or ANY conservative’s vote, now does it?

[HiTech RedNeck]

This kind of yack is the moral equivalent of fragging.

Re: I'm actually surprised he would say this.

Don't be. Jeb is only saying this to counter the accusation that he would rather have Hillary than Trump. But can we really expect that if Trump gets the nomination jeb will support Trump? I think not. I expect it will be exactly like the RINOs in Nevada who supported Harry Reid over conservative Sharon Angle a few years back.

[Forty-Niner]

It’s real big of him isn’t it? Especially since he and Hillary share so many valves!

[SharpRightTurn]

Jebbie and Kasich—tweedledumb and tweedledumber.

[COBOL2Java]

The grim jaws of reality are closing in on Jeb.

Uh, Jeb? You see that guy in black over there with the scythe? No, no, he's not here for you; but he *is* here for your campaign...

[Caipirabob]

I would not say “dumb” so much as “disappointing beyond political redemption”. I will never support another Bush again.

[PGalt]

Making the statement is good, but as I expected there would be another candidate that expands on that statement -

I see no mention by the “Political Editor” here that Trump said Hillary belongs in jail. Chicken.

HOORAY TRUMP

: )

[Zathras]

With Rove shopping for VP, even clueless Rove knows Jeb’s political future is over

[Vigilanteman]

It is fairly logical when you think about it. Jeb had Mitt Romney hold his place for him in 2012. Trump’s political positions are quite similar to those of Romney except that Romney was less enthusiastic about open borders than Jeb and Trump is even less enthusiastic about open borders than Romney.

>>If you are defending Jeb Bush as NOT being an ‘idiot’ <<

Quote me where I said that (you can’t because I didn’t).

Talk about an idiot. Someone who posts something demonstrably false on a thread — THAT is an idiot (to help you, I mean you).

YMMV.

You are clearly both — and slow on the uptake to boot.

If you are defending Jeb Bush as NOT being an 'idiot'

Happy to help you moron:

"Quote me where I said that (you can't because I didn't).

Here you go:

From your post #15:

"Jeb is not an intellectual idiot. He is a philosophical one."

Sounds pretty clear to me. You stated that Jebuardo is not an "intellectual idiot", rather that he is a "philosophical one" [idiot].

Moving right along now for your morning spanking:

Talk about an idiot. Someone who posts something demonstrably false on a thread - THAT is an idiot (to help you, I mean you).

Try again moron, as Pogo once said "you has met the enemy, and he is you".

Thanks for playing.

Lame. The childish "I know you are, but what am I" retort does not speak well of whatever intellect is rattling around in that semi-empty cranium of yours.

Try again.
