"I can't vote for either candidate," Jeb Bush said. Jeb: 'Sad' if Trump loses in landslide; 'worried' if he wins

For former presidential candidate Jeb Bush, the general election is a no-win situation, regardless of who wins.

Speaking to former his press aide and current MSNBC political analyst Nicolle Wallace in an interview aired Monday night, the former Florida governor was asked whether he or any other Republicans would feel "vindicated" if Trump loses in a landslide to Hillary Clinton in November.


"I'll feel sad," Bush told Wallace, who then asked how he would feel if Trump is elected as the next president. "I'll be worried," Bush responded.

Wallace remarked, "So there's no good outcome for you?"

"No. That's why I can't vote for either candidate," Bush said, even as he had pledged last year to vote for the eventual Republican nominee. "It's not- this is a decision that's painful for me. I love my country like everybody else does and I see us languishing at a time when we should just be leading the world."

As far as whether he expects his parents to vote for any candidate this fall, Bush demurred.

"I don't know, I'm not really asking them. I don't want to ask," Bush said.

Wallace then asked for Bush's reasoning, specifically whether he did not "want to know."

"I don't want to know. Some things, parents just need to be doing their thing without knowing," Bush said. "I don't want to know because I don't want to say."
