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."

URGENT: Replace Ryan with Jeb Hensarling as Speaker of the House. Hensarling is much smarter, has endorsed Trump, and is the principal force behind the CHOICE bill (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ABORTION ISSUE!) to provide a direct off-ramp for banks to get out from under Dodd-Frank, and to make illegal any future bailouts of the “too-big-to-fails.”
Hensarling would be a major force in helping Trump fix the economy — a HUGE FORCE.
HENSARLING (R-TX) for Speaker!!!
Get over our CDS.
The Bush family and the rest of the GOP elite have been telling us exactly what they think for years. The reason Trump resonates is because enough of us have finally taken the time to listen. My only fear of Trump is he can only serve two terms. It’s time for him.
Jeb Bush couldn’t mount a backyard barbegue. GEt real!
She’s got Mr. Pointer in to the second joint.
I am reading a huge book about them, very carefully researched, back to Prescott Bush days. Am now struggling through the many chapters around the Kennedy assassination. The Bushes have NOT just been idly sitting around politics, shall we say?
Neither do I like the idea of Jeb Bush starting this mess at the convention; but it seems his ego has gotten the best of him and he’s having a pity party about it .. and I’m wondering if this is why there are reports that GW has been getting involved in the election ..??
I’m going to be pretty steamed about it, if I find out he’s supporting Jeb’s take-over.
When donkeys’ FLY.
“loosing”
I think the word is ‘loosening’.
Unless, of course, you meant ‘losing’.
Love you back!
So which is it, a hoax or Jeb?
I’m convinced that if the GOP hadn’t tried so hard to push Jeb down our throats there would be no Trump ascendancy. The fact that the Bushes and their ilk had the temerity to think that conservatives would actually support Jeb caused the outrage in the electorate that led to the rise of Trummp—the anti Jeb Bush. There are a lot of good people out there that the power brokers could have chosen. Why they chose Jeb is beyond me. Shows how they hold us in contempt.
They have several options at their disposal:
1 Knock DJT out at the Convention
2 Force one of their own Globalists to be VP, then “you know what”.
3 Fraud the General Election Vote, digitally
4 Intimidate or Buy the Electors before they cast their votes at the Electoral College
5 I can’t even type this option, but you know what it is, they’ve done it before, and would again.
IMO, they are going in order, doing what they believe they have to do to maintain their middle-class robbing, elitist enriching survival.
That is so well analyzed. I understand completely and you are “dead” on. I am hearing it was a hoax. That makes sense. I hope it was not a rational effort to deny the vote winner. That sounds like the Ukraine.
lol Trump is such a thin skinned putz. Why is he talking about Jeb?
Sources? The Bushes don’t like Cruz. A Romney/Ryan collusion seems more probable in my opinion IF there’s really an attempt to interfere with Trump’s nomination.
Is he operating from an emotional standpoint or a strategic one? You seem to be burdened by the illusion that Trump, who has made a successful career out of outsmarting his competition, is attacking out of emotion.
Try to keep up. Trump plays 3-dimensional chess while his enemies, thinking he's like the previous limp-wristed Republicans, play tiddlywinks. They keep losing - wonder why?
Seek help. Seriously.
It's beginning to look like lunacy.
Common sense. That’s what you just read. Asking Trump to unite the party is somehow a bad thing>? Wow. Y’all have really gone off the deep end.
