I know this has probably keen posted/discussed before which is why posting in Chit Chat...
But last night Karl Rove announced his come back as Republican powerbroker. He was pretty vocal about wanting to defeat Steve King in Iowa and mobililzed forces (money and support) to the eventual winner.
This is bad news for the Republican Party. Just when I thought the forces of Liberty were making strides in the party since around 2010 (with the election of Rand Paul coincidentally) we now have this MASSIVE set back.
The Bush Republicans are back and I fear they're going to influence Trump and the direction of the GOP.
However if W. does endorse Biden in the election as suggested then this vast incursion will be over.
I don't think Karl Rove will let that happen. He's not stupid. An endorsement by his boy of Biden will end his 'comeback' project no matter how odious it is.
Please discuss on this pressing issue...
Rove used to get called a genius. Both assessments are probably wrong. He’s no genius, but he had to have some smarts to get as far as he did.
W is no genius either, but he probably knows that he doesn’t want to get directly involved with Biden. It would hurt what’s left of his brand.
His endorsement by the Chamber of Commerce makes him suspicious, what do the locals from Iowa think?
I don’t know, I am in Virginia.
I know that he is anti abortion and is pro 2nd.
I thought I heard that Rove was at the WH last week.
And that will be the end of the story of the GOP. The saddest note: Reagan unintentionally empowered it by giving George 'New World Order' Bush I the Vice Presidency, which resulted in the systematic dismantling of all of Reagan's accomplishments and now a fight for the party's soul. A fight which cannot be won, both sides are too entrenched. Splinter is coming.
