Former Florida governor and Republican presidential primary candidate Jeb Bush criticized President Donald Trump for saying things that arent true, that are distractions from the task at hand.
Bush made the criticism during an interview that aired Sunday with WFORs Jim DeFede. He hasnt shifted to being President in the way that people are used to, and I think thats the problem, Bush said, adding later: Hes a distraction in and of himself.
Bush said he admired many of Trumps picks for top posts in his administration, like Defense Secretary James Mattis, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
All of those picks have connections to the Bush family. DeVos, for example, once served on the board of Bushs Foundation for Excellence in Education and is a similarly fervent evangelist of charter schools. But, Bush said, Trumps habit of making unsubstantiated claims including that former President Barack Obama had ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower had distracted from achieving policy priorities, like replacing Obamacare with Republicans own health bill or overhauling the tax code.

They all know the country would be in dramatically BETTER shape had Hillary not had the election stolen from her.
We need a collective of these people to hold a press conference and say ENOUGH, the election is tainted and somehow must be rectified.
