Is Jeb Bush secretly preparing to support the presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination?
According to a report in Politico, Bush may go rogue and issue a public statement announcing his refusal to back the GOP front-runner if Trump is the eventual nominee.
According to two sources close to the Bush campaign, senior aides are now examining whether such a statement by Bush would disqualify him from certain state primary ballots, some of which demand candidates sign a loyalty pledge declaring that they will support the eventual Republican Party nominee, reports Politico.
Trump responded to the Bush scuttlebutt late Wednesday in a statement emailed to the Washington Post:
"I really don't want Jeb's endorsement because he is a low energy person and he does not represent strength, power and stamina, which are qualities our country desperately needs. But if he does not endorse and support me as the nominee, legally he cannot be on the ballot in many states so that would be the end of his candidacy--but that doesn't matter because he is not going to win anyway. While everyone said I beat him last night, I was only responding to his desperate attempt to stay relevant by attacking me. Everybody said I won the debate last night including all eleven polls attached. Additionally, I have a 27-point lead in the Monmouth poll, and the just out Morning Consult poll shows me leading with 40%. Also, the highly respected Public Policy poll out yesterday shows me leading in Iowa with 28%. Jeb is only doing this because I committed to run as a Republican last night--so dishonorable."

Yes, Little Jebbie would endorse Hillary! because it’s what the Bush’s do.
Daddy Bush tried to destroy the Reagan legacy.
W turned his back on the conservatives who put him in office.
So yes, Jebbie would have no problem endorsing his sister Hillary!.
Let’s not forget that W let Libby get demolished and left those two border patrol guys in jail. Last of all, his ineptitude was the spring board for the POS we have in the white house now.
Its all about Barbara Bush who wears the pants and the jock strap in the Bush family. And, it is Barbara that is angry with Trump beating up her little Jeb. She is a quintessential liberal elitist. Flush the toilet now and let her and Jeb go down.
The “wonderful” Bush family gave us the crazy Iraq war that destroyed the lives of many of our best young men and women, destroyed the country of Iraq, and cost uncounted trillions so we could provide the best military equipment for ISIS. Having done all they could to destroy the Reagan legacy, they are now working on what’s left of the Republican Party while they chum up with the Clintons. Jeb Bush supposedly told his father, one of the supporters of McNamara’s War in Vietnam and idiotic strategy, that he wanted to be a conscientious objector to avoid military service then. It shows.
And isn’t Bill their other son? Hillary would be his SIL. Why wouldn’t he support her?
I have not seen a more bitter loser than Jeb in my life! And I remember as a tot Nixon saying we wouldn’t have him to kick around anymore. If Trump had never entered the picture, I believe Bush would be where he is today.
I’m on the fence with Trump. But, if yEB! publicly announces he won’t support him, it may just drive me to vote Trump.
The whole Bush Klan will likely endorse HRC but only if they deem it would help her to do so.
Jeb lacks gravitas and he’s just not likable.
LOL! And in the process, kiss all of the political ambitions of the entire Bush clan now and forever.
I say "GO FOR IT!"
I think Jeb, Graham, Pataki and possibly Kasich.
A Bush endorsement of Hillary would be a very good thing, indeed. I truly hope it happens. It would be actual truth happening, something we need.
Jeb has an outsized view of his own relevance.
