Bush Supporter Says She'll Vote For Sanders Or Clinton If Trump Nominated

Jeannie Farmer was asked if she could support Donald Trump. Her answer was definite.

"Not me personally. The office of President of the United States should be one of dignity and respect," she stated. "Donald Trump does not exemplify somebody of character, he is not somebody who, if I were to vote for him, I couldn't explain to my two young boys why I voted for him because he's not a man that I respect."

"He is a man who has trashed women, and Muslims and people of multiple faiths and religions, he's in a fight with the Pope, and he's just a bad choice from a character perspective,"
she finished.

When asked where that left her as a Republican, and whether she could support Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton over Trump, she said she could, reiterating her distaste for Trump.

Only the Fox Noise machine and Teabaggers like Trump essentially. This will be an interesting GOP cycle.... Kasich has some position in this...the GOP Convention is in Cleveland for a reason.
