From KUT:
In a dynasty that dates back over 60 years in American politics, there is just one member of the Bush family left in any state or federal elected office.
Texas land commissioner George P. Bush is the one carrying the torch and facing a stiff primary on March 6, barely two years after his father Jeb’s presidential bid failed as Donald Trump took over the Republican Party. To survive, the younger Bush has decided to adapt to — rather than resist — the new direction of the GOP.
