Texas AG Paxton Defeats George P. Bush in Texas GOP Primary Runoff
Newsmax ^ | Tuesday, 24 May 2022 09:40 PM | By Eric Mack

Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton has held off a primary challenge Tuesday night, according to Decision Desk HQ.

The race was called at 8:37 p.m. ET.

George P. Bush, the nephew of the former President George W. Bush and son of former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush, was defeated in the race against the incumbent Paxton, who had the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.

Paxton consistently led in polling in his reelection bid for a third term, though surveys tightened in the weeks before the vote. He beat out Bush, the state's land commissioner, for Trump's endorsement.

But the younger Bush's underdog status highlights a remarkable shift within the state's Republican Party over the past decade, with the center of power moving from the business-friendly wing squarely into the social conservatives' camp.

“Patriots, do not vote for Kemp in the general - he can burn in hell”.

So you prefer Abrams? You are an idiot. A BIG idiot.

“W sucked up to Biden.”

And I think he called Bubba Clinton his brother.

The Bushes all suck, including the females.

W. is completely detached from the grassroots.

He simply does not care.

Talk about sh**ing on your most loyal supporters some of whom worked their a$$ off to get him elected twice .

He is unbelievable.

I’m wondering whether he will recant on his death bed or not because he sure isn’t doing it now,

The irony Jane is he is responsible for destroying the brand/dynasty with his post-presidency moves .

They only have themselves to blame.

I wonder why he will never admit to any mistakes or regrets.

Because he doesn’t see them as mistakes, and, has no regrets.

I listened to what Bush had to say about Texas, immigration, law and order and defending the border. I liked what he said. I voted for Paxton though not a big fan nor against him.

Bush senior and Junior gave us three wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and today left us far worse than before war and with many bodies home in flag draped coffins. They left the Mideast on fire and Obama and Biden made it worse in the extreme.

This Bush may be a fine man of integrity. His father and uncle and grandfather are not. Thus, I did not vote for him. He lost his election in Texas because his last name is Bush. A name no longer in reverence in Texas.

No mention of how Louis gohmert jumped on to screw this up for Paxton. P never has to run an ugly campaign back in the primary. Louis came in with off the wall w anti paxton campaign nothing bad against P.

“Not even close.

Paxton, 43%.

Bush, 23%.”

Wow. I have a better chance of finding a virgin at the Playboy mansion. Congrats Pax.
