Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush is asking Texas Republicans to support the Republican presidential nominee — though he has not endorsed Donald Trump, the Texas Tribune reports.
Bush said it’s time to put aside lingering tensions from the primary — in which Trump defeated his father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — to back the nominee.
“From Team Bush, it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you know what? You get back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton," Bush said, according to video provided by someone in the audience.
Bush was Saturday speaking as the Texas GOP's victory chairman, responsible for overseeing the party's statewide campaign in November, the Texas Tribune reports. He had previously been criticized for taking the role without endorsing Trump.
A Bush spokesman did not respond Sunday afternoon to the Texas Tribune’s request for details on his current position on Trump as the nominee.

A Bush acting like an adult. This is noteworthy.
He’s probably going for 2020..
Sorry. Don’t trust them.
He’s worried about his future in the party. He should run for Gov. in 6 years. That will decide if he has a future.
WOW!!!
Now, if he could impress upon the rest of his clan how vital it is to rally behind Trump to win this election!!!
Now is the time for them to stop being jacka**e* and do everything humanly possible to help elect Donald Trump!!!
Smart enough to look down the road and realize that the Bush brand took a drubbing by running Yeb! and trying to do something about it before he has to face the voters again.
And, apparently, he’s a lot smarter than Canadian Cruz.
Of course!
“A Bush acting like an adult. This is noteworthy.”
Comment of the day.
George P. should tell this to his father, his uncle, his grandfather, and his state’s junior senator.
Bush had seen boos during convention and he knows his dad is very unpopular.
Trump had mentioned last week, Bush are behind people going on TV and bashing Trump.
George P. Bush can go pee up a rope, we are done with his family of cheap labor importers.
yup. I would never trust a bush again.
Unless he proved Every Slow Step up the ladder that he was a TRUE conservative.
EXACTLY. Should get a real job.
I am NEVER voting for another Bush
See, see...do you purists here on FR really want that to happen? < /S >
not buying it.
I hope Texans are smart enough to not elect him to anything else ever again.
Somebody is gonna run against Ted
Maybe he’s setting up to run against the pride of Calgary in 2018.
