He who Sean Hannity rather routinely refers to as
“The Architect”, Karl Rove, says that he'd like to see Donald Trump, Ted Cruz
and John Kasich booted from the race for the Republican presidential nomination
so that a fresh face would then be able to emerge and could then help the
fractured party win the White House. But
is that how this process is supposed to work?
I didn’t think so.
Anyway, it was during a radio interview with Hugh
Hewitt that Rove said, "A fresh face might be the thing that could give us
a chance to turn this election and win in November against Hillary." Now it might also be worth mentioning here
that Hewitt, too, is far from being a fan of Trump, as was made rather
abundantly clear during Hewitt’s two stints as a CNN debate moderator.
And it was during the same radio interview that Rove
also went on to say, "If we have somebody who we think has been battle
tested, and has strong conservative principles and the ability to articulate
them, and they are nominated at this convention, there will be a lot of
acrimony from the people who were seeking the nomination.” So I’m curious, who exactly does Rove mean
when he says, “we”?
And Rove went on to say, "But if it's somebody
who has those convictions that they can express in a compelling way, we could
come out of the convention in relatively strong position." And he added, "In terms of being able to
match somebody head to head against Hillary Clinton, that's going to be
difficult to do." It might be a
little less difficult if folks like Rove were to spend less time trying to
undermine Trump.
Rove said Trump — whose recent gaff about punishing
women who have illegal abortions has hurt his campaign — must begin to act
"in a presidential manner" if he hopes to win the nomination. Cruz, he believes, is "somewhat"
more electable than Trump, but like the billionaire developer the senator from
Texas is behind Hitlery in a number of polls.
So his answer is to simply blow up the process?
And let’s not forget here that it was Rove, along
with that other little weasel, Dick Morris, who said Romney was going to win
the 2012 election in what was basically a landslide. Even on election night as
Romney was going down in flames Rove, with his little whiteboard in hand, was
saying "There is a pathway for Romney for victory". And I haven’t put any stock into anything
this guy says ever since.
What Rove says, notwithstanding, it’s to my way of
thinking that on their worst day either Trump or Cruz that would be a far better
president than either Hitlery or Bernie could ever hope to be on their best
day. And sorry ladies, but if abortion
is your most important issue as your country is being destroyed right in front
of you, then maybe you’re just too stupid to vote. In which case I’d prefer that you
didn’t.
