Republican House candidate Pierce Bush, the grandson of late President George H.W. Bush, has fully embraced President Trump as part of his campaign platform.
In a crowded race with at least 14 other candidates vying to fill the seat of retiring Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas), Bush has decided to highlight his support of the current president — instead of putting a focus on his own family dynasty.
“[Trump’s accomplishments are] hard to argue with,” Bush told “Fox & Friends” during an appearance Wednesday morning.
“He is a strong fighter for our nation’s national security,” Bush said, adding, “The most important job a president has is keeping our country safe and defending our liberties

Sorry, but I don't trust anyone with Bush DNA!!!
The way the rest of his family treated Dictator-Wanna-Be Ovomit so much better than they have President Trump speaks volumes about what nasty RINO's they are from top to bottom!!!
Pierce may be a great guy, but he only gets my vote if he is the candidate against a Demon-Rat. Against a large primary field of Republicans, we can do better!!!!!

Neil Bush could have defended the President. He stole instead. Billy Bush enjoyed grabbing them by the pus*y. Dubya Bush never supported Trump the Magnificent. They can all go back to the Freemasons to Do some Globalization some more. I will stick it our with Trump, the great 21st Century President.

Thank Goodness!
Periodically, we are reminded of the suffering of those less fortunate than ourselves. I am reliably informed that, right now, more than half the members of the Bush family are not currently occupying a public office somewhere. Indeed, many Bushes, like Pierce's father Neil, have had to rely on government bailouts to maintain their lavish lifestyles. Others, like Pierce, have reached the point where they've had to depend on charitable organizations for gainful employment. Some have even had to fall back on spending inherited family wealth.
It simply cannot continue. One family should not be asked to endure so much. By all means, let's get Pierce on the public payroll as quickly as possible. In fact, if you see any member of the Bush family wandering aimlessly after leaving an ivy league college, please immediately offer them the nearest government position of high prominence, with a fancy office, an important-sounding title, and a retinue of admiring staff members.
It's the least we can do for a family that has governed us so pervasively for so many decades.

He figures he will get in because there won’t be another Republican run against him. I am counting on my fellow TX conservatives to not let this happen. Pierce only running on a “pro-Trump” platform because Texas is now huge Trump Country. For him to dare say he is for Trump is such a huge lie.

I had a much higher opinion of the Bush family before they chummed up to the Clintons and were such poor sports over Trump defeating Heb! As it is, I wish them well, just not on my tax dollars.

So Saul, on the road to Damascus, shouldn't have been not only forgiven but converted by Jesus to become Paul the Apostle? Paul wound up writing about a quarter of the New Testament and boldly focused his teachings on the world's non-Jewish population, aka gentiles.

In this large field, name recognition is everything. Can Bush at least force a run-off? I think so. While the others are pitching, young Mr. Bush has the name and resources for a campaign to eventually win. This district is changing, rapidly. Its demographics are: 42% white; 25% Hispanic; 19% Asian; 13% black - majority minority by a wide margin. It will vote for a "moderate" Republican. Those with the ten-gallon hat and blazing six shooters as campaign props may be surprised that much of this electorate didn't grow up watching Roy Rogers. The wild card in the primary is the FBC sheriff...who has won election in Fort Bend County several times. There's name recognition, too.

IF he proves not to be a RINO, good for him. We need Texas to remain a red state.

FTA "“In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, my sister, Lauren, and I marched near Battery Park NYC (where people arrived after leaving Ellis Island) with thousands of people today against the immigration ban. No ban. No fear. Refugees are welcome here. #nationofimmigrants #diversityisourstrength,” Bush wrote in a Jan. 29, 2017, post that included three photos from a protest against President Donald Trump’s travel ban.
