George P. Bush: Democrat will be elected Texas attorney general if Paxton is GOP candidate
Thehill ^ | 11/07/2021 | Caroline Vakil

Posted on 11/07/2021 2:01:17 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Texas Attorney General candidate George P. Bush (R) warned on Sunday that a Democrat would be elected to the role if incumbent Ken Paxton (R) won the Republican nomination again.

“This time around he will not win, because he’s facing corruption and bribery charges. Imagine having a Democrat AG with a Democrat president and what that means for Texas politics,” Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), said during “Lone Star Politics,” a Sunday political show, according to The Dallas Morning News

This Texan will vote for the D if Bush is the AG nominee.

P is delusional.

I doubt it. The charges are fake and drummed up. A legacy of the corrupt prosecutor operations in Austin.

Ken Paxton has been on Steve Bannon’s War Room Pandemic several times. He’s fabulous IMHO. 😀

And your opinion of the Bushes? I lived in Texas from 95 to 97 and George was the governor he didn’t do anything all that impressive at the time. When he was President I a odd him with reservations. Now with the perspective of time I think he’s one of them worst presidents we have ever had.

I will speculate the ONLY reason Ken Paxton is facing criminal charges is because we already have a Democrat President, and because there is a Texas Democrat who wants to be Texas AG.

Corruption runs deep in many politicians. Time will tell

snip
Paxton is mired in several cases, including one that spans back to 2015 when a grand jury indicted him on one count of failing to register with state's securities board and two charges of securities fraud.

Paxton for his part has claimed that the allegations are politically motivated and that he has not committed any wrongdoing, the Texas Tribune reported.

“He’s now in year seven of this trial. And if he’s as innocent as he proclaims, then he needs to sit down for a jury trial in front of his fellow peers here in the state of Texas and be evaluated, which he has refused to do now for seven years,” Bush said during the show, according to the news outlet.

“The charges are fake and drummed up”

Exactly right, and Peebrain Bush knows this.

The charges would have been leveled against him (or any other Republican) if he were the Attorney General. It’s what Rats do.

I live in West Texas and don’t have a confident opinion on Texas politics.
However , watching P Bush campaign is perhaps the most enlightening.
P Bush is supportive of Trump, which tells me the Bush family has taken significant hits even in Texas.

Trump even said that P Bush is the only Bush who supports him.
P Bush is also the only Bush active in politics.

“I do not trust anything a Bush says.”

Judge each person by their own accomplishments, who they are as a person. I happen to know a guy named Bush (Not related to the political Bush’s) who is as fine a person as you would want to have as a friend.

In other words, he needs to prove his innocence? That's not how it works, Jorge. This guy is running for Attorney General? He should probly learn the basics first.
