Bush Says ‘Outsiders’ Derailed His Presidential Bid

Jeb Bush told donors that he had seen a path to victory “from the very beginning” of his campaign but was unexpectedly stymied by “outsiders making a compelling case to people who are deeply disaffected and angry,” MSNBC reports.

Said Bush: “I’m sorry that it didn’t turn out the way that I intended. When I launched the campaign in front of 3-4,000 people in Miami, I anticipated a different result.”

Bush added that the reality of the race was that “we’ve had a year of disruption, a year of outsiders making a compelling case to people who are deeply disaffected and angry.”
