Jeb Bush is denying a report that claimed he's voting for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Bush says he hasn't made a decision and suggested he may not cast a ballot at all.

'If everybody didn't vote, that would be a pretty powerful political statement, wouldn't it?' he said, according to CNN, after he was asked what would happen if other voters followed his lead.

The Republican politician's father George H.W. Bush had his plans to cross party lines at vote for Hillary Clinton revealed by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

Bush said at a Thursday event in Massachusetts at a venue named after Townsend's uncle, John F. Kennedy, that he thought her behavior was 'a little inappropriate' and trashed her for taking advantage of his father.

He is certifiable if he thinks this is a sane proposal. I doubt that he does, but it is a stupid point to make, eh?

Jeb is so irrelevant to politics today.

He has a point though. Politicians use the vote to legitimize everything they do. "We have the vote, therefore the government is legitimate."

Don't vote, it just encourages them.

This is another example of why this guy will just lead conservatives deeper into the darkness.

Jeb is another one who I once liked, and would have voted for, but now cross off my list.

What does he think American gains by having Clinton POTUS?

I personally applaud Mr. Bush’s call and believe that it should be embraced passionately by every democrat in the country! What say you democrats? Refuse to vote! Stiff the man! Show your solidarity! Every dem, don’t vote and if you do you are obviously a racist, sexist, homophobe...

Uh oh, somebody got his itty, bitty precious feelings hurt and may just take his bucket and shovel and not play nicely in the sandbox any more. I’m devastated.

To be fair, liberals not voting is a vote for Trump.

Well, Yeb! that was what I had planned on doing if the Uniparty had succeeded in nominating you as Designated Loser.

Joyously, we have a choice to keep our country this election, something your family has worked to deny the citizens.
We can vote for a President who will defend Americans and our rule of law, unlike your brother and father.

Yes, Jeb, it would!

Such an action by the citizenry of this great nation--a nation founded on a bold statement of philosophy (Declaration), confirming the existence of a "Creator," a "Supreme Judge of the World," of Nature's Law, and of a "Divine Providence" who guides, offers "protection," and intervenes in the lives of nations--such an action would provide proof that each of us has failed to live up to the Founders' ideas and of the Framers' limitations on government.

Additionally, such an action would confirm George Washington's strong warnings of the "dangers of Party," of "artful" men who might subvert the principles of the Constitution, and of the importance of "We, the People," rather than 'we, the insiders of government power.'

Has anyone stopped to consider that just as God used an unlikely grouping of dedicated ordinary folks to begin what some have called "the miracle of America," then His Divine Providence, observing how those who have failed to lead America for the past few decades, perhaps he sends a "disrupter" to interrupt and change the direction the "pretenders" have taken.

He doesn’t care about anything but keeping the borders open and the immigration laws unenforced.

This is why you are not the candidate Little Yebbie... you're too stupid to be President. Your mother knew it, that's why she didn't want you to run

This is you:

Jeb, you are Perpetually Pathetic and a caricature of yourself. I seriously doubt that Jeb even understands what “powerful” means.

Didn’t realize our family had made a power statement when we didn’t vote for George P when he ran for Texas Land Commissioner. Don’t recall Jeb saying anything about GPB’s support of Trump after everyone else was gone - perhaps they don’t want to risk anyone saying it was for political expediency.

Now we Texans need to throttle anyone who dares to vote for another Bush for anything.
