Mike Fernandez, a top donor to Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, told The Miami Herald on Friday that he’d rather vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump.
Fernandez purchased a full page advertisement in the Sunday edition of the newspaper, which called Trump a “narcissistic BULLYionaire with a hunger to be adored.”
Fernandez told the publication that Clinton was the “lesser of the two evils.”
“If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary,” he reportedly said.

The Republican businessmen I know say the same thing but they won’t vote for Bernie
What’s interesting to me is that Fernandez is willing to vote for Hilary over Rubio or Cruz. Trump’s standing on top of the GOP pile and the enthusiasm of his anti-immigrant views suggests that Rubio and/or Cruz will not be given a free pass by the Hispanic community by virtue of their surnames.
And that’s a wrap. We can now stop talking about JEB with regards to this race because he is now (even unofficially) out.
Hispanics can’t be counted on to vote for Cuban immigrants. Hispanics don’t like the special rights given to Cuban refugees.
In dude’s favor, I’d say he at least a modicum of sanity. Modicum, barely.
