George P. Bush Fails to Win Donald Trump Endorsement
Surely there is another statewide role that does not have such strong a incumbent where he would have as much fun...
[BREITBART] Texas political figure George P. Bush failed to win an endorsement from former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
on Monday for the state attorney general race.The former president endorsed current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for reelection — even though he is under investigation by the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
for dealings with political donors and was indicted for securities fraud.

"Ken has my Complete and Total Endorsement for another term as Attorney General of Texas," Trump wrote. "He is a true Texan who will keep Texas safe—and will never let you down!"

George P. Bush, the son of failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush, worked hard to demonstrate to Trump he fully supported the president in an attempt to win his endorsement.

He pinned a picture of himself and Trump on his Twitter account, after visiting the former president in Bedminster, New Jersey in June.

During the campaign, Bush’s team gave out beer koozies reminding voters of positive things that Trump had said about him.

But Trump remained loyal to Paxton, who helped lead the fight challenging the 2020 presidential election by suing four battleground states. The Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
did not take up the case. Paxton also spoke at Trump’s rally in Washington, DC, on January 6th to challenge the election results.

Bush responded to Trump’s endorsement by again pointing out Paxton’s legal troubles on social media.

"I’m running for Attorney General because Texans deserve integrity and honesty from the office of Texas’ top law enforcement official," Bush said. "Texans deserve a candidate without a laundry list of existing and potential criminal indictments."

#1 If Paxton is under investigation by the FBI he must be doing something right.

#3  Bush’s Wife Columba Bush: Age, Net Worth, Height & More!

grom, you may consider Columba Bush's ethnicity a liability for her son's candidacy but I have no problem with it. Here in Southern California we interact with Hispanics all the time and there is usually no problem. The problem with George P. Bush is on his father's side of the family. Roosevelts, Kennedy's, Clintons and Bushes have done quite enough to this country.

#4 #3 I don't consider it a liability - I just asked a question. And I know that it could be an advantage in Texas.
