Jeb Bush breaks his silence, calls for a contested convention
CNN ^ | April 28, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Posted on 04/29/2016 9:05:14 AM PDT by C19fan

A reflective Jeb Bush said he had no regrets Thursday about his failed presidential bid, saying in his first interview since leaving the race that Donald Trump could still lose the nomination fight.

"There's a possibility that he won't get 50% on the first ballot," Bush told CNN's Jamie Gangel, giving his first television interview exclusively to CNN after dropping out of the presidential race in February. "And if he doesn't do that, there are a whole lot of people who don't believe he's the proper guy."

If you had won anything you would have to right to ‘call for’ something, but you didn’t, so you don’t.

LOSERS don’t decide anything Little Yebbie!

So shut up, or I will taunt you again

“And if he doesn’t do that, there are a whole lot of people who don’t believe he’s the proper guy.”

There are even MORE people who don’t think Cruz and Kaisch are the proper guys, so based upon his logic, Trump should be the guy.

The Cheap Labor Express still expects the RNC/GOP to deliver the amnesty canddate they paid for.

Yup. One of them actually said he thinks Right to Rise should be brought up on fraud charges.

How do people this dumb manage to accumulate vast sums of wealth?

The only way Jeb could do harm to Trump's candidacy would be to endorse it. At the convention, the biggest risk is that the celebrity-seconding of Trump's nomination will be carried out by each of his former opponents in turn. :')

I saw him on a CNN interview where he sighed deeply and pretended to hesitate when asked if he would endorse Hillary Clinton if Trump is nominated. My bet is he will do so.

Jeb has said he does not want Trump. Who does Jeb want to be the nominee?

Jeb lives in a fantasy world and at some level believes that in a contested convention that his operatives at some point will be able to get the party to turn to him to be the white night.

I’m sure Jeb does.

And Cruz’s zealots will oblige him as best they can.

Hey Jebbie, just quit will you? Everyone thinks you’re a fool but when you open your mouth you prove it.

In 1972 Nixon said if George Bush Sr ever became President he would destroy America. He was Partial right, it took two George Bushes.

If Jeb Bush ever gets into the White House, it will be hard proof that America is a full-on oligarchy.

Delusional, sniveling "Little Jebbie"tm Tippy Toes, has come out from behind Mama Bush's skirt to cry for a "contested convention".

Makes perfect sense; he, along with the entire GOPe still believes he, or another GOPe insider have the right to be CHOSEN and anointed to the position totally ignoring the will of the American people while disenfranchising the democratic electoral process and nearly the entire base of the Republican Party.

I think the Uniparty plan was to have Jeb lose to Hillary. It’s her last chance and he would be next inline for the throne.

Trump (and Bernie) upset the apple cart.
