I2ridehd,
I checked 3 sources and your info was not there. He worked for his Mom and they said he worked for President Bush as Governor of Texas. He was a loyal supporter of Bush for a long time. He was assistant to the press secretary and took over as one of 4 press secretaries for President Bush.
You might be right as people change their parties all the time. Hillary was a Republican.
By the way, I have been Republican all my life until now. The county I grew up in had no Democrats.
