b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 Jeb Bush and key members of his national finance team addressed top donors
on Wednesday in a conciliatory conference call in which he expressed dismay
over the outcome of the race.
“I’m sorry that it didn’t turn out the way that I intended when I
launched the campaign,” Bush said.
The former Florida governor said he saw a path to win the nomination running
as a “reform-minded conservative,” but acknowledged that wasn’t what the
electorate was looking for in 2016.
“The reality is we’ve had a year of disruption, a year of outsiders making
a compelling case to people who are deeply disaffected and angry,” Bush
said. “I just didn’t get the break-though I needed in early states and
felt it was important to not move on without a clear path to winning."
Bush sounded happy to be off the campaign trail, saying he was hitting the
gym, sleeping well, and content to be spending time with his wife, Columba,
back home in Miami.
Bush didn’t signal whom he'd support in the race or urge donors to get
behind any of the candidates. But he said he intended at some point to do
what he can to ensure that a conservative wins the White House.
“I intend to do whatever I can to make that happen now as a private citizen
,” Bush said. |
