Meet the South Carolina Bush Republicans who are horrified by the Trump coronation

Look, I have these guys' number.  Willie Horton, push polling about McCain's
black baby, lying about WMD and "keeping us safe."
And they call ME a bigot? It ain't"bean bag," Jebbie! (drum trill)
Will they really take Bernie over Trump, or vote for Hillary as some suggested? At least they might allow either to win by not voting! But Big Gulp Mike will rescue them!

(Washington Post) - The town-hall audience listened as Jeb Bush spent the better part of an hour taking shots at Donald Trump — comparing the Republican front-runner to President Obama, comparing him to Vladimir Putin, calling him a bully, saying he denigrates women and the disabled. When it was over, some in attendance were more terrified than ever.

“I’m going to head right back home and get on my hands and knees and pray that Trump isn’t the nominee,” Charlene Knight, 73, said, clutching her husband’s shoulder. “Oh Lord,” she pantomimed, her plume of white hair trembling as she shook her head, “please, anyone but him.”
“I’d take Bernie over Trump,” her husband, Mike Knight, confessed, staring at his shoes.
Outside the auditorium, Erin Mercer, 35, stopped on the way to her car to tell friends how she really felt about Trump: “He’s a misogynist, a bigot, and let’s just say in my middle-aged mom set, a lot of my Republican friends even — I think a lot of them would consider voting for Hillary.”
It’s just days away from the South Carolina primary, and unless all the polling is terribly wrong, Donald Trump, the billionaire political novice and equal-opportunity insult vendor, looks like he’s going to win. And in any other election year if a candidate came in second in Iowa, first in New Hampshire and then won South Carolina, he would be the prohibitive favorite to become the nominee. Read more.
