Jeb explains the 'tragedy' of Trump's nomination
POLITICO ^ | 07/11/16 | Nick Gass

Posted on 07/11/2016 12:29:57 PM PDT by Trump20162020

People supporting Donald Trump's presidential bid will "feel betrayed" should the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign promises go unsatisfied, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush predicted Monday.

Speaking to MSNBC contributor Nicolle Wallace, who served as his press secretary in Tallahassee, Bush called Trump "to his credit ... very smart at exploiting these kind of opportunities."

"He's a master at understanding how the media works — more than anybody I've ever seen in politics. Kudos to him, for kind of creating the environment and then manipulating the environment to his effect," Bush said in the interview airing in full Monday night.

There will be no wall built, Bush told Wallace, and Mexico will not pay for it, nor will there be a ban on Muslims.

"This is all, like, an alternative universe that he created," Bush said of Trump. "The reality is, that's not going to happen. And people are going to be deeply frustrated and the divides will grow in our country. And this extraordinary country, still the greatest country on the face of the earth, will continue to stagger instead of soar. And that's the heartbreaking part of this, is I think people are really going to feel betrayed."

“Jeb advocated several policies he couldn’t sell to the voters, is all.”

Good summation, plus he wasn’t exactly a sparkler.

Maybe he will run with Hilliarty? His politics are largely leftist and he obviously has no party loyalty. And Hilliarty might think he could help her win Florida? ( tho I doubt it).

The very fact that Jeb and his band of One World Traitors are panic stricken that Trump may win demonstrates that they think he will indeed shut down the 3rd world invasion and write trade deals that work for Americans...not Wall Street.

That's gotta bring nightmares to Jeb, Romney, Graham, Will and the rest of that traitorous lot.

Jeb is a back-stabber to all Americans and American workers. He does not care who gets hurt, maimed, killed or who can’t find a job.

Which is why nobody liked you Jeb. You show why nearly every day.

Yes they would, but they won’t because it will happen. So, as usual Jeb you don’t know what you are talking about. You are nothing more than an attention whore and sore loser.>>> i trust trumps ego to make stuff happen. He will not want to be known as the greatest incompetent bs president in history.
