Top Jeb Bush political donor in Miami: I’ll vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump

One of Florida’s biggest conservative Republican moneymen — and a billionaire backer of Jeb Bush — is so disgusted by Donald Trump’s candidacy that if he has to, he’ll do the unthinkable:

“If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary,” Miami healthcare magnate Mike Fernandez told the Miami Herald on Friday. “She’s the lesser of two evils.”

Outraged by Trump’s unimpeded ascent, Fernandez is taking on the GOP frontrunner himself. He purchased a full-page ad in the upcoming Sunday edition of the Herald calling Trump a “narcissistic BULLYionaire with a hunger to be adored.” He also likened him to some of history’s bloodiest demagogues.

“You have no idea how furious I am with my friends in the Republican Party who have embraced this guy,” Fernandez said.

Not many worse than Hilliary.

[SkyDancer]

Really? Bush and Clinton appear to be related somehow, and also Bush has basically the same agenda as Clinton. Why should anyone be surprise?

[DannyTN]

Clearly the donor is not a conservative. He just tries to influence the Republicans to nominate a democrat.

[time4good]

Trump should make a good video, make it go viral - mocking this guy AND Yeb! - “Why would a donor vote for a ruthless, lying criminal who’s done nothing if Yeb is not available?? A. Proves that Yeb is a puppet and can be bought and B. No difference between Yeb and The Witch. I can’t be bought. I work for The American People!”

or something to that effect. (Witch might be too much truth for some...)

[Menthops]

The GOPe is.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Mike Fernandez is a joke.

If he were a true conservative, he would not be supporting Jebra in the first place, as he sure as hell would not be voting for Hillary.

[Carthego delenda est]

What more proof is needed for the existence of the Uniparty? They do not care if a candidate has an “R” or a “D” next to their name so long as they answer to the establishment comprised of selfish, constitution hating, billionaires such as Fernandez.

Go Trump!
Go Cruz!

Great endorsement for Trump. A billionaire who doesn’t really care about policy. Just care about influence and with Trump his votes counts for as one American vote. No more, no less. Clearly with Hillary and Jeb it’s worth more

[pieceofthepuzzle]

My guess is that he has cut deals and has in place specific ways to be profitable under Obamacare, and does not want someone who will rapidly alter it. In that regard, he's probably been given assurances by Jeb and the GOP establishment that there will be no rapid change. Sure, he could vote for a Democrat upfront if he wanted to keep Obamacare in place, but likely wants the pro-business aspects of a Republican administration, along with no one messing with his business model and plans. A conundrum. Where a man stands depends on where he sits.

No one is worse than Hilary - she is a traitor who has no compunction about selling US secrets for her own financial aggrandizement - just like her ‘husband’.

Rubio/Christie/Bush may have similar domestic and foreign policies, but it would never occur to them to do what Hilary has done.

[Dawgreg]

That’s JEB’s sister don’t ya know? The Bushes signed a blood pact with the “toons years ago.......s

[Axeslinger]

Agree.
You have Hillary: a big govt statist
You have Yeb: a RINO big govt statist
You have Trump: for all 69 of his years except, conveniently, the last 6 months, a big govt Hillary and RINO supporting statist

What in his record would indicate that there’s a dimes worth of difference?

[Objective Scrutator]

If it comes to that, vote Constitution Party or just don’t vote. Voting for Democrats is always unacceptable, no matter the scenario.

[jospehm20]

Which just goes to show the uniparty is really a thing.

[Alberta's Child]

This is where all the big-government globalist @ssholes come out of the woodwork and reveal their true agenda. There is nothing conservative about these people at all.

For that matter, there's nothing American about them, either.

[unixfox]

A healthcare “magnate” that is obviously in bed with Obama and Obamacare.

He’s a friggin socialist who needs to keep the scam going to line his own pockets.

[Alberta's Child]

Rubio/Christie/Bush may have similar domestic and foreign policies, but it would never occur to them to do what Hilary has done.

Baloney. The Republican Party has never hesitated to sell out our government to foreign interests. That's why they've basically been puppets of the Saudi royal family for years.

[flaglady47]

Time to resurrect this: SORE LOSERMAN

[PIF]

Name one classified secret any Republican has sold to any foreign power ... name no less than three classified secrets the Democrats have blatantly sold ...

Being someone’s puppet is far less worse ... but I’ll not go with puppet, rather misguided, naive partners.

[Menthops]

I can’t believe people here actually support the GOPe.
