I called his office along with scores of others, asking for him to vote against impeachment. He didn't. And that wasn't surprising.

For the recent election where Rep Bumgartner won, Speaker Phelan sent him over $200,000 in campaign funding. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that our Rep was going to be more loyal to that money - and the power behind it - than he is to representing the people in his district. His opponent in the election was attacked for stances on gender affirming care. That opponent's son was being subjected to it by his ex-wife. So the election was a perfect storm of barrage of campaign material and the opposition from the woke Left.

It will be difficult to mount a successful campaign to replace Rep. Bumgartner. But our local effort to do that would be greatly helped if there were simultaneous challenges against the other 60+ Republicans who voted with Phelan on the impeachment. They have money but cannot shore up that many candidates. We are being picked off, one at a time and we will never win under those circumstances. There are too many people who are completely tuned out of all of this and are easily swayed by negative campaigns and an unrelenting flow of mailers and TV spots.

Thankfully, it was a disastrous week for the “wise wing” of the GOP. Not only did they lose Romney, but they also lost in their attempt to impeach a strong Trump supporter, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The entire effort was a sham, much like the impeachments of President Trump.

Behind the scenes, the person leading the Paxton impeachment campaign was George P. Bush, Jeb’s son and the nephew of the former President. He had poorly lost to Paxton in the last election for Attorney General and was trying to oust his opponent through impeachment since he could not do it in the election.

Fortunately, on Saturday, the Texas State Senate acquitted Paxton on all sixteen charges. In his address to Texas State Senators, Paxton’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, declared that Paxton’s opponents “did not have anything.”

He said all the so-called whistleblowers against Paxton hired an attorney who was a “protégé of the Bush regime.” As he concluded his comments, Buzbee announced emphatically, “The Bush-era ends today.”

By acquitting Paxton and returning one of the best Attorney Generals in the country to his position, Texas State Senators finally ended a regime that had a disastrous reign of influence over the Republican Party, the state of Texas, and the country for over four decades.

It was an era marked by failure for the Republican Party and the country. Fortunately, the future for the Republican Party looks much brighter under the leadership of President Trump.

There is no question that, much like the Clintons, the Bushs were a disaster for our nation:

Not sure what Hagar is up to here. He is supposed to be a republican.
He seems to have been a good comptroller.
Sounds like he is begging for an AG investigation into the comptroller's office.
(Not that there is anything wrong with that....)
