Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — who along with a few other 2016 GOP presidential candidates still refuses to support Donald Trump — said he still can’t vote for either Mr. Trump or likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“I can’t vote for Hillary Clinton and I can’t vote for Donald Trump, and it breaks my heart,” Mr. Bush said in an interview that aired on MSNBC Monday evening. “This is my the first time in my adult life I’m confronted with this dilemma.”
“A lot of the governors, I would have been very comfortable with,” Mr. Bush said. “John Kasich I thought ran a great campaign, and [Marco] Rubio, [Ted] Cruz. There are a lot of people. The bar’s not that high for me. I’m not suggesting that you have to be a perfect candidate.”

“This is a decision that’s painful for me,” he said. “I love my country like everybody else does, and I see us languishing at a time when we should just be leading the world.”
Mr. Bush said if Mr. Trump loses in a landslide, he’ll feel “sad,” and if he wins, he’ll be “worried.”

“Jeb Bush revealed in a Facebook post on Friday afternoon that party loyalty with establishment figures is a one-way street.
“The former Florida Governor wrote on Facebook that he is planning on breaking the loyalty pledge he signed in South Carolina and breaking his promise to Republican voters he made in several debates stating he would vote for whoever won the GOP nomination.”
Low energy loser. $150 mm couldn’t buy 1 delegate. American voters saw right through you, easy because you don’t have a spine, however deep pockets the open border guys flushed $150 mm backing you. They actually thought they could buy the election. Might be the seem for Hillary and her money and joins you on the loser team.
In truth, many anti-Trump establishment Republicans like Jeb and his circle cannot accept that they lost and that the Republican Party is not a servile extension of their own views, egos, and interests. Whether Trump wins or loses, Jeb has put the mark of party disloyalty on himself and every member of the Bush crowd who do not clearly buckle down and publicly support Trump.
It’s only because he is incapable of filling in the bubbles for the optical scanners correctly.
POS.
Go home, Jebby...your pink slip is showing. Oh, and take your dolls and toy tea set with you.
It’s not just your heart that’s broken, Jeb. You’ve got a problem with your brain too.

It’s his dirty, corrupt family that has been taking us over for 60 years.
exactly right. I used to hold my nose to vote for these people. screw them. This is the first election since Reagan that I'm voting for a candidate not against.
I wonder if all these backstabbers will finally shut up after the convention is over and Trump is the nominee? The ones who hold no office (Jeb, Romney, et al.) can slink back off to wherever they live these days.
Every time the man speaks, he validates the wisdom of the voters who told him to go pound sand.
It is essential for the new castrated American male to constantly talk about their feelings and emotions and their “hearts.”
Makes me sick! Good old fashioned macho tough guy American men had the biggest strongest hearts of all. They worked, fought, struggled with their big prideful hearts beating deep in their chests.
They didn’t feel the need to put their “hearts” on their shirtsleeves for all to see. Nor was it necessary to constantly talk about their “feelings.”
The Bush’s country is Saudi Arabia.
I’d like to break Jebie’s skull.
Then we have something in common you whiny pile of horse crap; I can’t vote for you either.
Their loyalty is torn between a love of two countries: Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
this is what it sounds like when vultures die...
I thought that the Bush cost per vote was even higher than that, but 10x more than Trump’s is still pathetic.
Ah the Pledge-breaker “they come here out of love” candidate speaks~right before the convention. I hope Trump ignores this pathetic whiner!
