Jeb Bush: I can’t vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, ‘and it breaks my heart’

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.”

“I can’t vote for Hillary Clinton and I can’t vote for Donald Trump, and it breaks my heart,”

Yeah, it breaks our hearts too that you would shaft your own country, you traitor, over a point of personal pique because you lost to Trump, you big crybaby. Grow up. P.S., I really, really don’t like you.

Jeb! is not very bright. When he refuses to vote for Trump, he automatically votes for Hillary.

As the poster says, not voting is not rebellion, it is surrender.

[RummyChick]

Jeb, your family’s power structure is on the way out.

Go in silence.

A bowl of guacamole would heal his broken heart.

There needs to be a country western song about that.

Oathbreaker Bush, but I repeat myself.

Jeb loves his country but not enough to honor the pledge he made? He disgusts me, and he’s exposed the whole family for what they are.

It breaks my heart that this fool took millions of dollars for a vanity campaign that could have been put to better use retiring some of his brother’s deficit spending and the Republican’s spineless capitulation to Democrat legisative graft.

[Original Lurker]

I wonder what Heb! did with all those $75 guacamole bowls???

[faithhopecharity]

F U Jeb baby! You ran with a ton of money and you lost. You’re nothing but a spoiler, sore loser, baby. Thank God in Heaven you didn’t get anywhere near the nomination.

[TomGuy]

Romney’s heartbroken, too.

So sad.

Feel bad.

Move on.

For most of the old standard feckless GOPestablishment, the only option is the 3rd on: get out of the way.

He’s voting for Hillary, count on it. He’s just too much of a p@ssy to admit it.

[dfwgator]

Hillary is just the latest in the Bush-Clinton Dynasty Line.

I remember an article a while back that compared the amount of money spent by each candidate divided by the number of votes they received in the primaries. Jeb's "cost per vote" was 10x higher almost everyone else's, and about 100x higher than Trump's. That doesn't stop Bush from calling Trump an egomaniac.

I was going to lay off Jebbie once he dropped out of the race but he just keeps on inviting more ridicule. Here's a scene from the campaign where Jebbie got the hook at a Rotary Club meeting for going over his time allotment. He let that Rotary Club guy own him like a boss. So pathetic. He looks like some poor schlep at a K-Mart customer service counter trying to get a refund without a receipt.

The hypocrisy is sickening. We all voted for McStain and Willard. Voting for Trump is easy.

Thank God Jeb Bush did not get nominated. What a loser.

[headsonpikes]

Jeb Bush is the overwhelming winner of “Beta Male of 2016”.

They may give him column space at Huffington Post.

Yeb, you have a warehouse of guacamole bowls to sell. Focus, and get cracking!

[Sgt_Schultze]

If there was nothing else you could know about Trump, it may be enough to find out he has all the right enemies, to know whose best interest he will serve.

Hey Jebbie there is always Mexico since you love it so much, GO!
