Jeb explains the 'tragedy' of Trump's nomination
POLITICO ^ | 07/11/16 | Nick Gass

Posted on 07/11/2016 12:29:57 PM PDT by Trump20162020

People supporting Donald Trump's presidential bid will "feel betrayed" should the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign promises go unsatisfied, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush predicted Monday.

Speaking to MSNBC contributor Nicolle Wallace, who served as his press secretary in Tallahassee, Bush called Trump "to his credit ... very smart at exploiting these kind of opportunities."

"He's a master at understanding how the media works — more than anybody I've ever seen in politics. Kudos to him, for kind of creating the environment and then manipulating the environment to his effect," Bush said in the interview airing in full Monday night.

There will be no wall built, Bush told Wallace, and Mexico will not pay for it, nor will there be a ban on Muslims.

"This is all, like, an alternative universe that he created," Bush said of Trump. "The reality is, that's not going to happen. And people are going to be deeply frustrated and the divides will grow in our country. And this extraordinary country, still the greatest country on the face of the earth, will continue to stagger instead of soar. And that's the heartbreaking part of this, is I think people are really going to feel betrayed."

Please, Jeb, perform an “act of love” and emigrate south of the border.

Jeb Bush is a self-involved idiot.

People have short memories. Without Jeb, by the time Trump finished his second term, people would have been looking back at the two Bush presidencies and thinking that they were not really that bad. GW would have been thought of someone who cared about others and George Sr. would have been remembered as someone who served his country honorably during WWII. Thanks to Jeb they will remember that they found out that the whole family is a bunch of ungrateful, elitist boobs. Jeb is destroying the Bush legacy like no one else ever could have

Jeb is pathetic. Surely he has enough easy money, made without a drop of sweat, that he can live out the rest of his life in luxury and spare us his drivel.

Trump is the only candidate who had what it took to win the primary, and he has what it takes to win against Hitlery, and to deal with the vermin in DC and turn this ship around.

I await his VP pick. I trust it will be brilliant.

GO TRUMP!!!

So this is the explanation for this hypocrite to not honor his pledge to support the GOP nominee?

I'm not going to Politco, but did anybody there ask him about his pledge?

You wrote the first line of this haiku. I will complete it:

Jeb is pathetic
Do they think we're that stupid?
Wait - don't answer that

Jeb and the whole Bush clan are politically bought by special interests. I remember W let the left screw Scooter Libby. HW screwed us on taxes. The whole clan is rotten.

If the Bushes vote for Hillary, then they're nothin but dirty rotten yellow bellied traitors.

FEEL BETRAYED????? The entire political wing of the Bush family has betrayed this country and jackass Jebby has the balls to preach to us about how Trump is going to betray us?? Daddy Bush must have put him to it, Jebby certainly couldn’t have come up with that on his own.

Check out CNN story today saying Convention platform subcommittee is poised to adopt Trump’s call for the WALL in the party platform!!!
Trump also apparently won today when his opposition to TPP was included in the platform.

They can put whatever they want on paper. If that wall gets built, I’ll happily eat crow. But if I were you (and others here) I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

24 Billion dollars is sent from Mexicans in the U.S. to Mexico every year. 10% transfer fee pays for the wall.

The guy who had no other reason to run for POTUS than his name was Bush.

Jebby running for president was the hag's certain ticket to the WH, just as McCain and Romney were to ensure oblack-o went to the WH.

lol

yo Jeb...

THERE IS ALREADY A WALL !

Trump just wants to expand it a little bit!

And he WILL get Mexico to pay for it, one way or another, either directly or indirectly!
