Somebody should ask Rove, if Trump is such a joke candidate what does it say about the rest of the Republican candidates that he is sitting at or near the top in most polls? I am taking a wait and see approach to Trump, time will tell if his popularity is lasting or if he spikes and flames out in a couple months.

As for Rove, he is bought and paid for by the Bush family. I am convinced that they are planning to toss Jeb Bushs hat in the ring late in the debate season once most of the candidates are beaten and bloody. Rove has even floated Jeb's name a couple times on Fox as a potential candidate. I think they had planned to run him in '08, but realized the Bush name was toxic at that point. But I am positive they will run him in either '12 or '16.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

It says that the remainder of the current crop of declared Republican candidates and teasers are even MORE of a joke.

At least his Reality TV show never featured Kate Gosselin.

Hopefully, a serious and winning GOP contender is waiting for the Comedy Hour to burn itself out before declaring.

Bill Clinton did not declare his winning candidacy until October 2, 1991 ...... only 13 month before the Presidential Election.
