| Texas AG candidate George P. Bush says Trump is 'future of Republican Party' |
| 2021-06-15 |
| [Just The News] Texas Attorney General candidate George P. Bush on Monday said former President Trump is "the future of the Republican Party," as he carved his path toward trying to unseat incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton, a fellow Republican. "President Trump is the future of the party," Bush, a member of the Bush political family, said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "We need to carry on the successes that we've had this past November in our state, helping to elect new down-ballot candidates and carry on this legacy." Bush, now the Texas land commissioner, is the son of former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush and the only member of the Bush political family — which includes former Presidents George H.W. Bush and son George W. Bush — to openly support Trump. Whether Trump will back Bush is uncertain, considering Paxton has been among the former president's most public and loyal supporters. Bush said Monday that he makes the argument "all the time" to family members that Trump is "the life of the Republican Party." "He has brought a new sense of energy," Bush also said.

| #6 I met the guy once and have watched his career. While he is correct about Trump being the future, he has always seemed to me to lean towards whoever had power. Kinda like cocaine Mitch working with Trump, but once he "lost" Mitch leaned over to the other side. I see Pbush being like that. As a career politician, he will work with the party, but also lean to work with whoever holds the power. |

| #5 Yeah, I'm not sure he's long for public office here in Texas. His family name is something less than reliable. |

| #3 ^his path toward trying to unseat incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton, a fellow Republican "But when churchman and layman, prince and prior, knight and priest, come knocking to Isaac's door, they borrow not his shekels with these uncivil terms. It is then, Friend Isaac, will you pleasure us in this matter, and our day shall be truly kept, so God sa' me? [...] And when the day comes, and I ask my own, then what hear I but Damned Jew!" |

| #2 sorry, not trusting anything a Bush says. He will ride the Trump train to getting elected and then revert to his true nature of backstabbing. no more political dynasties |
