Says Trump not a serious candidate

I’m happy to see that, finally, somebody in the GOP field has stepped up and said they may not support Trump if he is the GOP standard bearer next year.

Jeb Bush’s campaign is going no where because I believe the party does not want somebody to go to Washington and work together to solve our problems, but at least he has enough sense and guts to do the right thing and call out this sideshow for what I believe he is — not a serious candidate for the highest office in our great country.

It is amazing that the party of Lincoln is rallying around Trump. It is hard to believe he has gotten this far. We can only hope when the actual voting takes place the voters will reject him.
