What profound electoral wisdom is the Rove going to share with us today. (Someone tell him that Mitt lost.)
At this stage, stopping Donald Trump from winning the nomination will require Republicans
to vote strategically, casting ballots for the non-Trump candidate best positioned to win each state.
**************
Yep, to hell with the will of the people but vote against
their will by supporting a loser.
The GOPe candidates are so good that they have to try to win with dirty tricks and lies to fool the public. That says it all.
GO TRUMP!
Just for curiosity I actually read the WSJ article.
It’s a transparent hit piece by Rove, with two nuggets buried between the lines.
1. If Trump wins in Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina it’s all over. Republicans should vote “strategically” to make sure this does not happen.
This is actually good news. If Rove is right about wins next Tuesday, then maybe Rove will finish melting down and we’ll be rid of him. If he remains semi-coherent, it will be interesting to see his next move.
2. The best line of attack Rove can come up with is that Trump has lower poll numbers against Hillary than his opponents.
This point is particularly disingenuous. Trump is under the heaviest sustained attack by his own party and nearly the entire media in political history. Trump’s primary opponents are getting kid glove treatment compared to what Trump is getting.
Comparing poll results with candidates who are not under attack is meaningless and Rove knows it. Anyone with half a brain can see through this.
An unspoken risk is cheating. Rumors abound about voting irregularities, including machine manipulation, and the GOPe is certainly willing to “do whatever it takes”. To the extent they can, this is certainly part of the plan as well.
Rove’s final line of defense is the convention, even if it looks like Trump has enough votes to win on the first ballot. He can change the rules, challenge seating of various delegations, etc. It ain’t over till it’s over.
I suspect he's hell-bent on undermining Trump's campaign because all of these inside-the-Beltway @ssholes will be exposed as a bunch of useless slugs.
At first I got roused, then I noticed who wrote it, bye bye.
That's all that Rove and the rest of the GOPe have been doing for the past six months.
How reliable is any poll 6 months before an election?
