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.”

How could he expect people to believe he cares about conservatism? Was he for repealing Obamacare or any fights against Obama’s agenda?
The media is looking for a story. Jeb is a useful idiot.
yes what jeb is saying is that it breaks his heart HE lost.
I posted a link to this thread on the jeb2016.com contact us page. When I finished posting it says, “Thank you for contact us.” Ha ha ha ha!!!!
This is the hand-picked GOPe-er candidate. So glad he lost early.
Just proves how indecisive Yeb is, and therefore unfit to be president.
Jeb, please move to Mexico to be with your friends.
We are tired of hearing you whine like a loco coyote.
I could never vote for the pansy. He is such a wimp. His wife has never assimilated and learned English. He is so p ——y whipped he has to speak Spanish at home.
Shut up and go away Jeb!
Why doesn’t someone interview the large Jeb donors to ask them how they are feeling?
Clint Eastwood explains the three most likely outcomes here.
What a squishy sissy...just go home and play with your dolls! That’s just about all you are good for!
In other words - he lied through his teeth when he pledged to support the GOP nominee.
To him and any other “leader” who is unwilling to abide by their pledge - go to f&*^ing he!!
Come November, Jeb’s heart will heal and he’ll do what he’s been planning to do ever since Trump secured the nomination: quietly go vote for Hillary. After all, having a Bush in office is ideal, but if you can’t have a Bush, a Clinton is the next best thing for the sake of fake opposition.
Now that is rich-—÷)!
Thanks for the laugh.
Why are people even interviewing an ex governor years after his relevancy ended? How are this loser’s utterances of any value? Jeez, just go away Jebbie.
Now he knows how we felt when the inept GOP president and GOP congress utterly failed to accomplish much of anything when it comes to advancing the conservative agenda during 2003-2006.
Losing the nomination must be especially heartbreaking if you approach your candidacy with Jeb's sense of entitlement. What I think I detested most about Jeb was his attitude that the nomination and Presidency should have just been handed to him because he was a Bush.
