Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has swilled the Donald J. Trump Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n

He says it’s time to\u00a0support the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.<\/p>\n

Well, I never …<\/p>\n

George P. hasn’t exactly “endorsed” Trump, who performed a major hatchet job on the young land commissioner’s father, Jeb Bush, during the GOP primary. Trump’s campaign so angered others in the iconic political family that the Bushes’ two former presidents — George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — stayed away from the Republican convention in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

So did Jeb, of course.<\/p>\n

According to the Texas Tribune: “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<\/span><\/u><\/a> of the remarks provided by an audience member.<\/p>\n

There you have it. The goal is to “stop Hillary Clinton,” the Democratic nominee. No matter what. Regardless of how Trump trashed P.’s own father, how he said Uncle W. deceived the nation and lied us into war in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Politics at times produces the strangest alliances imaginable.<\/p>\n

This appears to be one of them.<\/p>\n\n
