'Bush's Brain' says CPAC straw poll would be 'completely meaningless.' More evidence is emerging that Karl Rove is a big fan of Ron DeSantis as the 2024 GOP Presidential Primary field shakes out.
In comments on the Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom, the former George W. Bush adviser lauded DeSantis for his decision to skip the Conservative Political Action Conference later this week and to “very smartly” take a “measured” approach toward a 2024 rollout.
“Take, for example, this weekend. Rather than going to CPAC — which is a completely pro-Donald Trump crowd and having a number at the end that weekend where he’s made an appearance, and then there’s a straw poll and Trump wins the straw poll — rather than that, what’s he doing? He’s going to Dallas and Houston, Texas, and Orange County, California and speaking to the Republican county committees,” Rove said.
“They’re big galas in each one of those places, making a lot of friends and avoiding what is going to be a sure story at the end of it. ‘Oh, well, he came here and he obviously didn’t make a big impact, because Trump still took the CPAC straw poll,’ which is completely meaningless but nonetheless would be the story coming out of the weekend.”

Looks like Rove is pushing DeSantis and, from a recent thread, I think Bush is as well. No thanks.

Ron would do well to distance himself from Rove.

It really is a shame see Tokyo Rove slither into DeSantis’ tent. He is a classic Faux News backstabber.

Imagine that. Karl Rove is 'anti-conservative' and 'pro-meatball'. The little porker does have the resemblance of a meatball his damn self, don't he?

Another bad sign for DeSantis 2024. If only he had waited until 2028.

Because if he goes to CPAC he has to face the fact that nobody’s interested. 😏
