Just visited the George P. Bush (Jeb's son) Facebook page and read comments.

[no_hypocrisy]

People are pissed that his family is either not supporting Trump or voting for Hillary. So pissed that they have pledged not to vote for George P. for Texas Land Commissioner or any other position in the future.

This might be the end of the Bush dynasty.

2. "won't be elected" IN TEXAS?!1 Where voter suppression is butter & BUSHes are the hot knife?!1

Here's one Texas state representative, Jim MURPHY, who has been instrumental in making voter registration as difficult as possible, along with his laundry list of usual wingnut positions:

********QUOTE**** (from Wiki)

In 2013, Representative Murphy supported the ban on abortion (CHOICE) .... co-sponsored companion legislation to increase medical and licensing requirements of abortion providers, .... two other anti-abortion measures. .... Murphy voted for the implementation of the taxpayer-funded school breakfast program, which passed the House, 73-58. He co-sponsored legislation to provide marshals for school security as a separate law-enforcement entity. .... He voted to require testing for narcotics of those individuals receiving unemployment compensation.[18] Murphy voted for the bill to prohibit the state government from engaging in the enforcement of federal regulations of firearms. He co-sponsored the bill to allow college and university officials to carry concealed weapons in buildings and vehicles in the name of campus security. He supported the bill to reduce the time required to obtain a concealed-carry permit. He backed the redistricting bills for the state House and Senate and the United States House of Representatives. He voted against term limits for certain state officials. He voted against the bill to ban texting while driving. Murphy voted against an "equal pay for women" bill,[18] which passed the legislature but was vetoed by Governor Perry.[21]

In 2011, Murphy supported a resolution to reduce funding for state agencies, which passed the House, 84-63. He voted to extend the sales tax to Internet transactions to match existing laws for brick and mortar stores; the measure passed the House, 125-20.

[font size=5]Texas’s Voter-Registration Laws Are Straight Out of the Jim Crow Playbook[/font]

.... Texas’s draconian voter-registration laws, beginning with this course. The state has no online registration, and anyone who registers voters must be deputized by the county at a training session that typically occurs once a month, sometimes less. The volunteer deputy registrars (VDRs), as they’re known, must be deputized on a county-by-county basis, which makes statewide drives practically impossible in a massive state like Texas, with its 254 counties. .... ... A voter-registration drive in the state’s 13th Congressional District, which encompasses most of the Panhandle, would require deputizing workers in 41 counties.

 “It’s a big barrier,” Tunde says. “We already have low turnout. By having all these new restrictions in place, it further draws down the number of people who vote.” In 2014, Texas ranked 45th in voter registration and dead last in voter turnout. Tunde was the 908th person deputized in Bexar County as of mid-September, which means there are roughly 1,000 people who can register voters in America’s seventh-biggest city during a critical presidential election. ....

 Nationally, a quarter of eligible Americans—62 million people—are not registered to vote. Three million of them live in Texas, including 2.2 million unregistered Latinos and 750,000 unregistered African Americans. Texas has more unregistered voters than the total population of 20 states. While its strict voter-ID law has attracted national scrutiny for discriminating against people of color and has repeatedly been struck down by the courts, the state’s restrictions on voter-registration drives have received little attention, even though they prevent millions of black and Latino citizens from participating in the political process. ....

 After the 2012 election, Bird founded Battleground Texas to help long-suffering Democratic candidates in this deep-red state. The group deputized 9,000 people and registered nearly 100,000 voters during the 2014 cycle. But they were threatened with prosecution by the state after right-wing activist James O’Keefe filmed an undercover video showing an organizer copying phone numbers from voter-registration forms so that Battleground Texas could follow up with the voters, which opponents of the group claimed violated the Texas election code. A judge dismissed the charges, but the threat of criminal prosecution had a chilling effect on registration efforts. In 2016, Battleground Texas has a fraction of its staff from 2014 and plans to register just a fourth of the voters it did that year. ....

3. Yeah they say that but...

They'll fall in line in the voting booth.
When Pat Toomey sponsored a (weak) background checks law, the outrage on his FB page was venomous. He was called a traitor, a RINO and every foul thing known to man by the gun-totin' PA GOPers. Now I'm seeing more Toomey signs in yards this Trump signs.

5. He's a major threat, attractive, mom born in Mexico, smart.

Only Republicans would be dumb enough to stop him.
