Despite his protestations that “anybody is better than Hillary Clinton,” I don’t believe for a second that Jeb Bush really thinks that Donald Trump can be entrusted with the nuclear codes. Appearing this morning on Face the Nation, Jeb was unsparing in his criticism of Trump.
“Look, I just think he’s uninformed…in these really serious times, he’s not a serious leader.”
“…I have great doubts about Donald Trump’s ability to be commander in chief. I really do. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt to see how the campaign unfolded. But if you listen to him talk, it’s kind of scary, to be honest with you, because he’s not a serious candidate. He doesn’t talk about the issues at hand that are of national security importance for our country. To keep us safe is the first priority of the president. And he’s all over the map, misinformed at best and preying on people’s fears at worst.”
Yet, he says he’ll support Trump if he is the nominee.
I know he probably feels that he has to say that, but I wonder if it will turn out to be true.
