In an interview on “Good Morning America” with George Stephanopoulos, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was asked if he would support his rival Donald Trump as the 2016 Republican nominee.
“Of course,” Bush said. “We need to be unified, we need to win, and I think Mr. Trump ought to figure out a way maybe to lessen the divisive language, the hurtful language, and talk about the aspirations of the American people rather than trying to prey on their fears.”
Trump and Bush have been in a war of words, exchanging attack ads on social media, going after each other’s positions on everything from immigration to healthcare.
“[Trump is] trying to insult his way into the presidency,” Bush said. “[It’s] not going to work.”
“People want an uplifting, hopeful message,” Bush continued. “People come to this country to pursue their dreams. Sometimes they start without speaking English, but they learn English, and they add vitality to our country.”
