Operation Hummingbird an identifier given (by me) to describe a very strategic approach of Karl Rove in getting Jeb Bush the republican nomination. Hummingbird describes a very a specific strategy to overcome a hurdle currently blocking Roves path, Donald Trump. Often it is easier to use a descriptive term, rather than spend 300 words having to re-explain a strategy as it expands and becomes increasingly visible over time.

In the end, Rove might not matter.

Interesting choice of a name.
The original “Operation Hummingbird” is more informally known as the “Night of the Long Knives”.
Bttt
The "Muslim Questioner" who nobody knows.
promoting Jeb is like pushing a wet noodle uphill. To quote Jeb’s daddy - “nah gonnah happen. nah gonnah”
You are right about the name being interesting. Watch a hummingbird. Tiny creatures long beaks. They dart in quick and out quick. In quick and out quick. FiaRINO and RINOrubio et. al., small numbers of supporters but they will attack Trump quickly and back away quickly. Numerous little jabs and if they need help, I’m certain other GOPe controlled subordinates will join in. Like a lot of little hummingbirds trying to make their marks all over Trump. Just like that Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds.
If Hillary is in trouble (which it certainly appears she is) then Bush is toast.
With virtually no grass roots support, his only path to the nomination was crossover Dems looking to install the softest target for November.
Now Dems will probably be told to vote in their own primaries next spring, either to save Hillary or defeat her in favor of Team Chicago.
“We’ve hit Barack bottom”
Well, somebody’s been “hittin” it.
Night of the Long Knives (OPERATION HUMMINGBIRD)
The Night of the Long Knives (German: About this sound Nacht der langen Messer (help·info)), sometimes called Operation Hummingbird or, in Germany, the Röhm Putsch (German spelling: Röhm-Putsch), or sometimes mockingly Reichsmordwoche,[1] was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from June 30 to July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political murders. Leading figures of the left-wing Strasserist faction of the Nazi Party, along with its figurehead, Gregor Strasser, were murdered, as were prominent conservative anti-Nazis (such as former Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher and Gustav Ritter von Kahr, who had suppressed Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch in 1923). Many of those killed were leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary Brownshirts.Before its execution, its planners sometimes referred to it as Hummingbird (German: Kolibri), the codeword used to send the execution squads into action on the day of the purge.[3] The codename for the operation appears to have been chosen arbitrarily. The phrase "Night of the Long Knives" in the German language predates the massacre itself and refers generally to acts of vengeance. Germans still use the term Röhm-Putsch to describe the murders, the term given to it by the Nazi regime, despite its unproven implication that the murders were necessary to prevent a coup. German authors often use quotation marks or write about the sogenannter Röhm-Putsch ("so-called Röhm Putsch") to emphasise this.[4]
Or, death by a thousand cuts!

Rove is highly overrated—especially by himself.
Let me make a prediction.
JEB will not be the nominee.
Why is it always eight?
Does the number 8 hold any occult significance?
This assumes that Carly or Rubio can take anyone down. They can’t.
That’s creepy.
Same guy’s photo is in this thread. The poster from here says he’s “from Norway” and is U.S. citizen.

Did you read the article at the link? It reeks of a false flag operation.
The biggest hurdle in Rove’s way is Jeb.
