In the race for the 2022 GOP nomination to be the attorney general of Texas, the incumbent is being investigated by the state bar association — and it may not hurt him. His main opponent is the grandson of one president who called Texas home and the nephew of another — and it may not help him.
The incumbent attorney general is Ken Paxton, and his challenger is Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush (son of Jeb, nephew of George W, grandson of H.W.).
Republican strategist Jeff Roe calls the looming showdown between the two "the Holy War of Texas."
"We haven't seen a battle like this since the siege at the Alamo," Roe, who ran Sen. Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign, told Politico.
Paxton is a loyal Trump supporter and minor MAGA star, thanks to his role as an architect of a multistate legal effort to prevent the certification of the 2020 presidential election. He is facing a number of public scandals, including a 5-year-old indictment for securities fraud and an FBI investigation for corruption, which led to, among other things, the abrupt firing of some of Paxton's top aides last year.
Bush, the heir apparent to his family's political dynasty, is trying hard to distance himself from his family elders' public chilliness toward former President Donald Trump, to whom a significant portion of the Texas GOP electorate remains loyal.
Bush believes a change in the state AG's office is long overdue.

The Bush Crime Family is like herpes, most of the time the disease symptoms are not apparent but when it breaks out nobody is happy.
Do not vote for this inbred clown. Political dynasties are poison to a republic.
RINO in MAGA garb.
Enough of the Bush’s.
George H., George W., and George P. are all inbred fruits of the same poisoned tree and all that follow them deserve betrayal.
Coumo, Kennedy, Murkowski, Landrieu, Pryor, Taft, Cheney, Bush, Roosevelt, Clinton, Pelosi, Romney, Rockefeller, … there is a long list of families whose offspring or mate continue on in politics as a family tradition. It smells of aristocracy. The well connected are needed to mind the proles. Screw them all, left and right.
G.Pee Bush looks too greasy to trust, a phony.
{George H. W. Bush}
I’ll never forget a documentary I watched on the Israeli bombing of the Iraq nuclear plant back in early 80’s. VP GHW was one of the few who wanted the Reagan administration to severely punish Israel for doing so.
Easy fellas...
They actually need an answer to this?
Wow! They sure don't follow the Bush family statements
very closely.
I need some of those old Louisiana bumper stickers from the David Duke / Edwin Edwards gubernatorial race.
Vote for the Crook
It’s Important
No mo Bush
No more Bushes.
When Pee was first elected Land Commissioner, he didn’t know where his office was the first year because he was too busy on daddy’s campaign trail. However, he still cashed his paycheck.
Now, this bs with the Alamo.
Again, no more Bushes.

just like Trump was forced to have Pence.
Just three words: Read His Lips
Sorry, you are wrong. George H was a backstabber to Reagan. Reagan brought him on to the ticket because he believed he needed him to win Texas.
BushBots are so tiresome. They cannot even answer a simple question like "What is the taste left in your mouth after you kiss the Bush Clan's arses?
By the way JimFree, "arse" is a very old english word with Saxon roots and I neither owe you or any other priggish, limp-wristed, word-police fool any apologies for using it.
I am done with manipulative leftists trying to control me with speech codes and shaming and I am sure as hell not going to put it up from you.
With all respect, and I do mean this with all respect, please contort yourself and fuck you own face ;)
I will never, ever vote for a Bush for any office whatsoever. I really do not care who or what is running against.
