Bush: If Trump Wins GOP Nod, Clinton 'Will Beat Him Like a Drum'

PETERBOROUGH, NH — Jeb Bush admitted Thursday that Donald Trump might just clinch the Republican nomination despite his own objections to the frontrunner's bombastic style and general election prospects.

"If Donald Trump wins the nomination, and he might, Hillary Clinton will beat him like a drum," he said. "Just tear him up. I mean, it will be ugly to watch."

Bush has assured voters for months that his slow and steady strategy would ultimately win the race to the nomination -- even as his candidacy sunk below expectations and Trump continued to rise.

The governor even carries small tortoise figurines in his pocket that he gives to children at campaign events to illustrate the fable he hopes could be a model for his eventual ascent.
