What's Next For The Bush Family? The Political Dynasty Has A New Generation Waiting In The Wings (P)
Bustle ^ | 2/21/16 | MORGAN BRINLEE

From frontrunner to failure, the progression of Jeb Bush's presidential bid saw some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows before culminating in the suspension of his campaign Saturday after a disappointing showing in the South Carolina primary. For a family that has dabbled in politics since 1950 and been described by biographer Peter Schweizer as "the most successful political dynasty in American history," the news spurs questions about who, if anyone, will carry on the Bush legacy. Was Jeb's concession of defeat the final chapter of the Bush political dynasty or could we still see a Bush in the White House?

The fourth generation of the Bush family's political dynasty begins with Jeb's own son, George P. Bush, who has had a ringside seat to Republican politics since he attended his first national convention as a young boy in 1988. Now, a few months shy of 40, George P. appears on the verge of making big political strides following his election to political office in 2015. The attorney serves as the Texas land commissioner and was sworn into office standing beside his father. It's widely thought this is only the beginning for the newest Bush to throw his hat into the political ring. Rumors of future gubernatorial and Senate races are already being whispered in the halls of the Texas state capitol.

George P.... Thanks to your dad, you will be getting a lot more scrutiny in your next re-election bid, or if you choose a promotion. Jeb was the tipping point. No more Bushes.

Jeb/s half caste son, George P Bush, is another member
of the entitled Bush dynasty, busily laying the
groundwork for his political ambitions. All latino, all the time.

He endorsed Rubio in the Senate race.

P. Bush was co-founder and on the board of directors of Hispanic Republicans of Texas, a political action committee whose goal is to elect Republican political candidates of Hispanic heritage to office in Texas.

In February 2016, the League of United Latin American Citizens Council No. 12 in Laredo, Texas, announced that P. Bush and Jose Antonio Meade Kuribrena, head of the Mexican ministry of social development, would both receive the titles of Senor Internacional, a designation used since 1976 to honor distinguished figures in the border region as part of the annual Washington's Birthday Celebration.

Looks like George P. could get a pretty good gig with a mariachi band - how is he with a guitar and how is his singing voice?

“Ay, ay, ay, ay! oh, I am dee Frito Bandito. I like Fritos corn chips, I love them, I do. I want Fritos corn chips. I’ll get them, from you.”

Makes me want to run out and get some Fritos right now, just so they can be stolen from me.

I think the aim of Trump and the Democrats is to make us miss the Bushes.

No more Bushes, ever.

I was hoping that Jeb would hang on until the end, so that he could be humiliated in every single state. I wanted him so embarrassed, humiliated, and ground down that not a single Bush would ever raise their head again anywhere in politics, not even for dog catcher.

Jeb provided a service to the nation. GWBs administration will now get the unbiased scrutiny it deserves, as will earlier activities of the Bush dynasty. Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family is a new release best seller on Amazon, and according to many reviews, it's well researched and damning.

“Looks a little light in the loafers.”

He’s not though. Rather something of an obsessive horndog, who does not understand ‘no’.

He is a scandal or even a crime waiting to happen. Like a crosseyed Kennedy. It used to be that the link would go to the police report. That link broke last summer, but the story is still up at least. At some homes he would have been killed. Like mine.

George P. looked like he had a bright political future until Yeb! came out of retirement.

No, they can't. They are utterly incompetent at anything else.

Enough Bushes. Enough Clintons. Enough Kennedys. Enough Cuomos. Let me know if I missed anybody but I do believe the Roosevelts are no longer a concern.

Do not like political dynasties. If Eric Trump ever runs for anything, no to him too.

They are made men going around the territory collecting dues from those to whom the offer protection, and rattling the doors and windows of those who haven’t paid into the insurance scheme.
