The recent campaign launch by a Bush family scion has upended their longstanding unity, causing heartbreak behind the scenes and even a rare public rebuke from a longtime Bush loyalist. The Bushes have long been known for their conservative politics and loyalty to their inner circle. Political consultants and advisers for former President George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush often worked with them for a decade or more, remaining in close contact years after the time in elected office had come to an end. George P. Bush, Jeb’s son, was elected as

Will George P buy his dad a 'Save America' hat?

The only Bush I'd ever consider voting for is one the rest of the family exiled.
And I strongly object to the article calling the Bush family conservative. They are RINO's and only count as Republicans because anyone can choose any party they want on the voter lists. They are not now nor have they ever been conservative.
The invention of the phrase "compassionate conservative" said it all. They think non-Bush conservatives are not compassionate and by comparison the leftist Marxist democrats are compassionate.
The whole family except maybe this one guy can go jump in a lake. They should go away quietly and never be heard from again. But since they're all never Trumpers the same press that called them evil and stupid criminals will not hold them up as the best of the GOP that used to walk with honor.
Garbage.

What kind of drivel is this? The Bouches are the biggest milquetoast moderates this side of Jeff Flake. Anyone who still believes this garbage also likely believes Xiden was elected fair and square.
Conservatives DON'T vote for liberal trash like Xiden. The Bouche boys did just that. The Bouches are scum.
As far as George P goes, just say no. He is most likely just trying to ride the coattails of Trump, and will show his true colors once in office. No more Bouches.

Why is he challenging Ken Paxton? I thought Paxton was one of the 'good guys'....

I think my son has it right. I smell a clever Rovian strategy here. The author of compassionate conservatism is expert at packaging a Bush to appear nothing like his globalist relatives. It worked with Dubya. Nobody really believes P is some MAGA hat wearing dedicated Trump supporter. He only endorsed him just before both elections because Texans demanded it.
I don’t believe one word of this.

FTA: "George P. was the sole Bush who voted for Trump in 2016, and strongly endorsed his 2020 re-election campaign. Other Bushes have continued to publicly criticize Trump over the years, but George P. has continued to support Trump, including backing the ouster of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), herself connected to the Bush family through her father Dick Cheney, from House GOP leadership."
Good on those willing to give George P a chance to stand on his own legs and make his own way outside of the family's so-called dynasty. Saul of Tarsus (aka Saint Paul) didn't have such a good name but he turned out OK. From his record thus far, I'd say the situation calls for RW Reagan's 'Trust but Verify' approach.
Not to be ugly but he already deserves at least a few points for breaking Jeb's heart with his support of Trump in the face of his family's opposite viewpoint.

George P will still not get my support. He's a Bush and therefor could be a RINO wolf in MAGA clothing.

I don't understand how the Rove tweet that is cited has anything to do with George P's candidacy, as the writer claims.

Read my lips. The Bushes are not now, nor ever have been conservative. They don't give a bucket of warm spit for the.American people. They are Bilderburgers of the first rank, globalist elites to the core. I barely entertain that one of them has truly turned the corner. More like a Trojan horse maybe.

Meh. When the Jebster was governor, they talked about the son being 'good looking' and how they would put him in politics.
Enough Bush's, Clinton's, Obama's and Kennedy's.

Ken Paxton is doing a good job working for Texans and the Bushes don't like it. it is really that simple. The rest of the clan being unhappy with PeeeeBush is just an act.

Being a Texas resident, I have had 5 opportunities to vote for a Bush since my last vote for one (2004 President). Four times for George P (primaries and general) and once for his dad (2016 primary). I declined the opportunity each time and will do again in 2022.

If it is true that George P. is a "Trumper", then he is the one sane person in that family.
But I don't trust anyone named "Bush" as far as I can throw them at this point. And a lot of other Texans feel exactly the same way. I can't see him beating Paxton.

Oh he is indeed, #5. Attorney General Ken Paxton is a real conservative who truly does have a long record of standing up for Trump policies. He works hard for Texas.

When you unravel and follow the loose string back, you can see a direct conclusion that Rove and W are directly responsible for the Obama Presidency, and, in turn, the current assault on our freedom.

Baloney! George P. Is in big trouble in Texas because it is already apparent that he is not a conservative and is, indeed, a Bush. So the family is creating a big PR effort to pretend that George P. is too conservative for them and that the family is heart broken. They think that conservatives are so stupid that they will believe this nonsense.

#5 Ken Paxton had an extra marital affair and the recommended her for a job with a wealthy donor. Then there are ethics charges separate from the affair. He may be doing an overall good job but is not squeaky clean.

Sorry but Globalism is not a conservative value. The Bush family has supported the likes of the Clinton's who have ripped off the people of Haiti not to mention other countries that it supposedly was there to help. Chelsea seems to be the only true beneficiary of that mess. The Bush family should be ashamed.

We must have a lot of Leftist Trolls commenting here. When I read all the comments that dismiss George P Bush because of his roots, it sounds a lot like the crowd that dismisses people because they’re too white, or if they’re “people of color,” because they dare stray from the party line. President Trump likes George P. Shouldn’t that be enough for Trump supporters to give George P a chance? And by the way, OP, your comment was unfair and unworthy of you.

Sure Trump likes George P, it’s politics. But Texans also like the job Paxton has done. Texans make up their own minds. And where did color or race come into this? It comes down to who’s best for the job. George P doesn’t have the legal chops for it.
