Anyone who doesn’t think that Karl Rove is intertwined with the current “Trump-Muslim-Obama-Birther” controversy exploding amid the headlines today doesn’t know Rove.
Remember 2010 and Delaware Senate race Christine O’Donnell and the “witch/wiccan” religion controversy? Yeah, Rove was Mike Castle’s campaign guy. After Castle lost, Rove torpedoed O’Donnell -via media- on behalf of the GOPe.
Remember 2014 Matt Bevin Kentucky Senate race against Mitch McConnell and the “Chicken fight” speech. Yup, Rovian again. Here’s Rove today feeding the narrative:
The “Twofer” – The group that should really be watching Rove work his current magic are the Ted Cruz supporters.
Don’t say you were not warned:
[…] But Rove had and has a plan for Cruz if he needs to use it. Essentially the narrative to plant is to remind the media of Cruz’s “extremism”, and “polarizing” nature – the same thing the media did during the 2013 government shutdown which defined Cruz as a self-serving antagonist.
Using Cruz’s affiliation with Frank Gaffney – HERE and HERE Rove would essentially paint Cruz as “a birther” of sorts. Along with Cruz’s affiliations with anti-gay activist David Lane HERE and then using Ted Cruz’s father Rafael Cruz as a negative –HERE– turning him into a religious fanatic and zealot – HERE.
Karl Rove is the master of using loose information to define a candidate – we know him well – you can easily see how the media would gobble up these narratives; the production scripts almost write themselves.
This will play into the mind of the GOP primary voter who is swayed by the “we-must-have-a-candidate-who-can-win-the-general-election” crowd. Rove only needs to seed to the media what the media already wants to sell.
Karl will probably drop this Cruz meme into the media bloodstream just after New Hampshire [’16], and then keep dripping “extremist/polarizing” chum in the water until after the South Carolina election, leading up to Super Tuesday. It’s what he does best. (link)
There is no goal beyond this goal. This is the only goal. The primary race is the only place their goal is at risk. Once Clinton VS Bush is achieved all 2015/2016 goals and objectives have been fulfilled – both sides of the uniparty fully represented.
Both sides of this coin support:
Wall Street, and as a consequence The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, K-Street, the RNC/DNC, and Mitch McConnell, consider those five items as the primary goals for this, and the next, administration. Both the RNC and the DNC support this agenda.
Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support those five primary legislative CoC issues.
You can gnash your teeth, stomp your feet, cuss and yell – it matters not. They don’t like you. You can promise not to vote, they don’t care (actually not voting helps the plan).
There is only one way to defeat the plan – change one side of the coin. They know you don’t like Jeb. That’s why they changed the primary rules, primary dates, delegate distributions etc. They’ve got all of that well thought out.
The way to defeat them is to overwhelm their PRIMARY mapping/splitting strategy. You do that with MORE PRIMARY voters, not less. Their goal thrives when people leave the party and become independents – that just blocks voters from closed primaries, they like that.
You defeat them IN THE PRIMARY with more voters, not less; and a candidate who can exit the primary drawing from both common sense sides and all common sense demographics.
Rove is an atheist, and hates Christians.
Rove is a POS.

Another good analysis by Sundance.
Yeah, I remember the witch. And Rove had nothing to do with it, with regard to me. As far as I recall, he said she would lose. And guess what? She did. Because she was bat-crazy.
beating castle was a giant victory for the tea party. thanks again christine. the tea party secretariat. if rove and the bushes hadn’t broken your legs who knows how far you could have gone.
that’s christine o’donnell not to be confused with the gope secretary with the “face.”
Remember 2014 Matt Bevin Kentucky Senate race against Mitch McConnell and the “Chicken fight” speech. Yup, Rovian again. Here’s Rove today feeding the narrative:
*Ugh* Karl Rove Bashes Donald Trump for Not Condemning Man Who Said Obama Was Muslim
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=3&v=Aha1ZWeRQQk
His head looks like Charlie Brown’s.
Spot on analysis.
Bull-crap Fox News is now on a war path against anyone questioning the background of Obama and saying he is Muslim. Not even that he is born outside the USA. They are despicable. Running interference again for the establishment.
sundance is very good at this.
I have a far more complete understanding of the GOPe schemes than I ever had before.
Rove looks like Humpty Dumpty.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Threescore men and threescore more,
Can’t place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.
His days of being a kingmaker are over! He’s nothing but a bought and paid for scumbag, IMO.
Yes, a can of pork. HILARIOUS...you have given me such a good laugh!
Glad you like it. It sure cracked me up! 8^)
So Trump fails to defend the opposition and some how that’s a big controversy. Molehill meet mountain.
Smoothsailing, thanks for posting from the Conservative Treehouse.
Sundance really has the eGOP and 2016 really dialed in. He does his homework and is a great writer and thinker. He is warning us all about how the eGOP is planning to rig the primaries yet again, to serve us up their half of the Monoparty election of 2016.
Freepers ought to pay close attention to the Conservative Treehouse.
