Trump: ‘I Like’ Jeb; ‘He’s a Good Person, a Good Man’

‘I just don’t know what did him in’

TAPPER: "Senator Cruz says that you attack him every day because you know he’s the only one who can beat you. Is that right?" 
TRUMP: "No, it’s not right. But he’s very talented. And, certainly, he could beat me, and so could Marco, and so could the others that are running. You know, crazier things happen in the world of politics." 
TAPPER: "Governor Jeb Bush dropped out last night. He was once the front-runner, once expected to win the nomination. Many would point to you as the primary reason his campaign sputtered. Do you think, by labeling him low-energy and targeting him so quickly, do you think that’s what did him in?" 
TRUMP: "I just don’t know what did him in. I can tell you, I like him. He’s a good person. He’s a good man, but he really hit me with a lot of commercials. He was spending $25 million on commercials on me. And I said, wow, that’s another commercial. That one is really bad and not true, although some was true. I mean, I will tell, some was true, but a lot of it wasn’t true. And I said, wow, that’s a big commercial. And then it just kept going on and on and on. And I said, who’s doing that? And it was Jeb. And then there would be a new one, and it was Jeb, and then a new one, and it was Jeb. 

"So — and then, you know, a couple of — we had a couple of robo-calls the morning — yesterday morning and — the morning of the election. And they were brutal. And that was done by Ted Cruz. We had two really brutal robo-calls, and one on the flag and one on gay rights. And I want to tell you, they were tough, tough, tough. So, you know, this is a tough business, I will tell you. I think real estate in Manhattan is a lot easier."
