The torturous relationship between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump hasn't gotten any better, despite the fact that Bush dropped out of the Republican race in February and Trump has turned his attention to new lyin', crooked, lyin' and crooked, weak, goofy, and sleepy-eyed targets.
In an interview with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday, Bush said the "tragedy" of Trump becoming the Republican nominee is that he won't be able to keep any of the promises he's made to voters. "There isn't going to be a wall built," he said. "And Mexico's not going to pay for it. And there's not going to be a ban on Muslims. … This is all like an alternative universe that he created. 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." Since Trump's plan won't pan out, the United States will "continue to stagger instead of soar," Bush continued. "And that's the heartbreaking part of this, is I think people are really going to feel betrayed."
