George P. Bush wanted Donald Trump's endorsement badly. Or, at a minimum, he wanted the former president to stay out of his primary challenge to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
-snip-
Why did George P. bend the knee to Trump? Because he had made the calculation that if Trump endorsed Paxton -- or badmouthed him -- his chances of winning a Republican primary in Texas would go down. Drastically.
Which brings me to Monday night -- and this statement from Trump:
"Attorney General Ken Paxton has been bravely on the front line in the fight for Texas, and America, against the vicious and very dangerous Radical Left Democrats, and the foolish and unsuspecting RINOs that are destroying our Country. ... It is going to take a PATRIOT like Ken Paxton to advance America First policies in order to Make America Great Again. Ken has my Complete and Total Endorsement for another term as Attorney General of Texas. He is a true Texan who will keep Texas safeand will never let you down!"

All that ass kissing for nothing.
