One Member Of Bush Family Throws His Support To Donald Trump
Western Journalism ^ | August 8, 2016 | Jack Davis

One member of “Team Bush” has lined up behind Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump lampooned former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as “low energy” throughout the Republican president primary season. He also criticized policy decisions of former President George W. Bush regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq War.

As a result, the Bush family has steadfastly refrained from endorsing Trump in his presidential campaign.

That changed Saturday, when Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush urged Texas Republicans to support Trump. George P. Bush, 40, is Jeb Bush’s son.

Has he been disowned yet? Will he miss his invitation to the annual reunion?

Someone understands the concept of ‘party’. He wants a future.

It’s not too hard to determine who the Bush family supports.

Several former Bush staff, secretaries, advisors and allies have endorsed Clinton.

On top of the Barbara Bush the Elder said that she does not see how a woman could vote for Trump.

One of the Bush Twins has been associating with the President of Planned Parenthood.

Some people -- excluding most Republican politicians -- want to be on a winning team.

All the “never Trumpers” will eventually engage their brain cells and pull the lever for Trump.

They honestly have no choice.

A grown up wouldn’t have cashed his Texas taxpayer paychecks when for the months he was on his daddy’s campaign.

He sees that Texas is voting for Trump and if he doesn’t jump on the bandwagon, he won’t have a job next election. Not that he will but he’s covering what bases he has left.

Too bad, so sorry, George P. Bush is NOT a natural born citizen.

His mother was a foreign national (Mexican) at the time of his birth.

George P is the next plant in line to run for the presidency.

Thus, he is the only Bush who must be very careful.

The Bushes have a history of jumping for the main chance. I suspect they know Trump is leading by a landslide. This guy, George?, is joining what is considered to be a potentially side. And by doing so, someone in the family will have a part of whichever side wins.

During the war of Northern Aggression a lot of families had songs fighting on each side. It insured the continuation of a dynasty.
