Jeb Bush Congratulates, Then Trashes Donald Trump
Jeb Bush left a lengthy Facebook post that congratulates Donald Trump for capturing the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. Something he failed at miserably.
It started out well enough for the Donald:
I congratulate Donald Trump on securing his place as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee. There is no doubt that he successfully tapped into the deep sense of anger and frustration so many Americans around the country rightfully feel today.
The tremendous anger of the current U.S. electorate – whether Republican, Democrat or independent – is a result of people fearful about the future, concerned with the direction of our country and tremendously frustrated by the abject failure and inability of leaders in Washington, D.C. to make anything better.
Jeb!, then explains what the presidency entails.
The American Presidency is an office that goes beyond just politics. It requires of its occupant great fortitude and humility and the temperament and strong character to deal with the unexpected challenges that will inevitably impact our nation in the next four years.
And you thought an endorsement was forthcoming, didn't you?
Instead, Jeb!, lowers the boom!
Donald Trump has not demonstrated that temperament or strength of character. He has not displayed a respect for the Constitution. And, he is not a consistent conservative. These are all reasons why I cannot support his candidacy.
