If he didn’t notice, Carson is collapsing and is no longer in contention. Rove’s behavior can only help Trump.

Karl Rove may be moving to help bankroll Ben Carson in the presidential race.

I guess Rove has thrown in the towel on Jeb and is looking for a candidate of lesser evil (his opinion).

[vette6387]

More proof that Karl Rove is simply Dick Morris without any evidence that he sucks toes during his off hours!

[mkjessup]

That stupid magnificent bastard.

[ClearCase_guy]

Rove will eventually bankroll Hillary.

[stanne]

Karl rove.

It’s so idiotic. Ben Carson is not only cub qualified to be president, he also has no chance. The same can be said about bush, whom rove appears to be giving up on

[ColdOne]

Karl is as clueless as Jeb is. This can only hurt Carson if Rove backs him. It has been almost a decade since Rove picked a winner.

[trisham]

I’m not surprised.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Tokyo Rove steps out from behind the curtain.

[Paine in the Neck]

Pilot fish Rove needs to attach himself to another well-heeled candidate to keep the cash registers ka-chinging. To do that he needs to con some billionaires into believing that this candidate, Carson, is the new, improved Jeb! worthy of them pouring millions into Rove’s operation.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

not to mention makes Carson look bad.

[Tau Food]

Carson wants to be funded by a casino operator? He should have some interesting positions now, I guess.

[miss marmelstein]

What good will that do? Carson, who I like, will continue to show he is not quick-witted (in the political sense), fast-talking or familiar enough with the issues to rise again in the polls. Look what money did for Bush.

[SharpRightTurn]

Rove trying to keep Carson in to keep his votes from Trump and/or Cruz in hopes that either Jebbie or Rubio will emerge as the establishment favorite? Splitting the outsider vote while having one candidate for the squishes to coalesce around is the old Rove M.O.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

It’s a desperation move. Rove and the rest of the establishment are beginning to panic that they are about to lose control of the party apparatus.

If Trump or Cruz win the nomination they will can a lot of key RINOs and replace them with conservatives. Plus, they will re-write rules and by-laws to take away the rules that favor and privilege the establishment.

People like Rove and Mike Murphy would be tossed into the street as useless.

[TonyM]

That just removed Carson from my list of acceptable candidates. Now it’s just Trump and Cruz.

[Liberty Valance]

Run Ben run! As far away from Karl Rove as you can.
