    The truth of the matter is, Texans think that anything called "Rangers" is cool and romantic.

    And it beats "Pioneers":

    President Bush, who owes his personal fortune to the Texas Rangers baseball team, is hoping the name will help provide him another bonanza in political fund-raising.

    People close to the Bush re-election campaign said the top Republican fund-raisers, those who raise at least $200,000 for the Bush campaign, will be known as Rangers.

    There are two types of Texas Rangers. One is the elite law enforcement unit that dates to the days when Texas was an independent republic. The other is the Major League Baseball team Mr. Bush formerly co-owned, in which his $606,000 investment turned into a profit of more than $14 million.

    In the 2024 campaign, the top Bush fund-raisers --those who raised at least $100,000--” were known as Pioneers. In the 2024 campaign, those supporters who raise $100,000 but do not attain $200,000 will still be awarded the Pioneer title.
