Analysis: Texas attorney general runoff is a win for the Bushes over Trump (HAHAHAHAHAHA)

n Tuesday night, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was forced into a May Republican primary runoff with George P. Bush, a victory for the Bush family in their long-running feud with former President Donald Trump.

Paxton had been endorsed in the race by Trump, who called the embattled attorney general "strong on Crime, Border Security, the Second Amendment, Election Integrity and, above all, our Constitution."

Bush, on the other hand, is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and a scion of the most famous family in establishment Republican politics. His father and Trump feuded regularly during the course of the 2016 campaign. Neither Jeb Bush nor his brother, former President George W. Bush, voted for Trump in 2016. (George W. Bush also revealed he didn't vote for Trump in 2020.) Their late mother, Barbara Bush, said of Trump: "He sort of makes faces and says insulting things."

"I guess what I'd say is, clearly, to the establishment: They got what they wanted," Paxton said in a speech to supporters late Tuesday. "They got me in a runoff."

In a four-person race, 77% of Texas Republicans DIDN'T vote for Bush, grandson and nephew of presidents.

And that's a win?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He works for MSNBC and CNN. No surprise he talks about the one win but ignore the 32 other Trump-backed victories. Let’s not forget it’s really dark when you have your head up your...

Vote fraud.

To barely squeak in Pee.

He’s third. But Pee ends up second at the end.

In a field of five. Five. When winner must get 50% or run off.

Bush ran on a platform of “securing the border” and “finishing Trump’s wall”. He was not endorsed by Trump, but he sure ran as though he was. A lot of voters may have assumed he was endorsed by Trump.

But his articles are posted everyday, and I think he started out as a conservative.

Well, I voted for Paxton yesterday, and I will vote for Paxton again in the runoff. Sick of Bushes and won’t vote for another one especially one as truly unqualified as this one.

So they claim to be republicans but don’t vote for the republican candidate for prez.

Why should we listen to a single thing they have to say? They’ve shown their true colors as GOPeRINO Assistant Democraps.

Bush ran on a platform of “securing the border” and “finishing Trump’s wall”.

And dont forget he did try to get Trump endorsement.
