Ex-Bush strategist Matthew Dowd drops bid for lieutenant governor in Texas
The Hill ^ | 12/07/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Matthew Dowd, the chief strategist of former President George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign, dropped his bid for Texas lieutenant governor on Tuesday, pointing to an emerging field of diverse candidates vying for the number two position in the Lone Star State.

In a statement announcing his decision to end his candidacy, Dowd, who was running as a Democrat, cited an opinion piece he wrote for ABC News in 2018 titled “Us white male Christians need to step back and give others room to lead.”

In the article, Dowd called for more diversity in electoral politics, writing “white male Christians still dominate the rooms where most decisions are made. This must change in a much more dramatic way.”

“white male Christians still dominate the rooms where most decisions are made. This must change in a much more dramatic way.”

Dowd went on to say, “Of course this does not apply to instances where conservative black Americans, especially female black Americans such as Winsome Sears, win elections and end up as decision makers.”

How does Bush end up with “chief strategist” who is so obviously a Democrat? What kind of strategy advice could he possibly receive from someone working for the other side?

While I blame Bush for many stupid things he did, including picks like this, it helps at least to understand better what a deep state/Uniparty squish Bush really was at the end of the day.

People like Matthew Dowd ought never to be allowed any position of power or influence. Good chance he is suicidal or at the least wishes to destroy the existing culture.

Choosing GH Bush as his running mate after the Ford/Kissinger fiasco was the worst decision Reagan made in his public life. The country would have been far better off without the Bush dynasty.

Couldn’t raise the $1,000 entrance fee?

Too bad, he had the perfect slogan . . . “When in Doubt, look for Dowd”

How to people get away with such slander? Why does he have to attack white Christians? Why does he have to attack males?

White Christians built the modern world. Some groups are talented at roundball and athletic shows. Other groups are talented at entrepreneurship, business, and engineering.

Could you imagine this cuck saying "black islamic males have too long dominated the basketball courts. This has got to change."

A former roadie of the Bush Crime Family running as a leftist Democrat, not a surprise. It is furthe proof that the Bushes and the GOPe have been running a ‘long con’ on America for over 30 years now.
