Karl Rove on Jeb Bush's Iraq comments: He won't make the mistake again
NBC Today ^ | 5/15/15 | Eun Kyung Kim

Jeb Bush will have learned from this week's firestorm over his Iraq War comments, says Karl Rove, the Republican strategist who helped steer his brother to the White House.

"He's a very smart guy. He's not a guy who needs the lesson taught to him twice," Rove told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie on Friday.

Rove said he hasn't endorsed Bush — or any of the other Republican candidates who have formally declared their presidential bid.

The the strategist said he was months away from making his decision. "I want everybody to get in as a candidate and then start showing us what they've got."

The Jebster is unelectable. Tokyo should know better by now.

"His handlers will hold the reins more tightly and try to control his verbal gaffes."

He's done, he's become a joke, and that's fatal. Rove should know this.

Jeb is an idiot.

He will make the next blunder only once too, but it may cost thousands of good lives per blunder.

So, Karl, are you going to take your fair haired boy to the wood shed?

These two deserve each other. They both hate America.

Rove is one player who can win even if VOP loses.

Another reason to sit home next November. It may finally end Rove’s career.

The real question is: The Bolshies were right about invading Iraq?

The real answer is: Saddam would have had wmd when he knew he was not going to be stopped. And, I would not have had the troops wear chemical gear on their way to Baghdad, and the 4th ID would have gone in thru Syria.

Make NO MISTAKE that I will NEVER support or vote for any candidate that is tied in any way to Karl Rove.

I'm sure Rove will come to his senses and support the only real Conservative in the race.

Rove works for The Cheap Labor Express.
Bush is the preferred candidate of The Cheap Labor Express.
He doesn’t have to endorse him.
We know that if Jebster flames out, Rubio is the backup candidate.
The RNC must deliver an amnesty candidate for their paymasters.

Jeb Bush did not know about Iraq?
Has he ever talked to his brother? Read a newspaper? Gone online to read anything about the biggest war this century?

“I want everybody to get in as a candidate and then start showing us what they’ve got.”

The candidates can sit in the audience comfy chairs, and the dozen or so people attending can sit on stage.

It is a measure of how stupid he is that he was caught flat footed on this in the first place.

After all these years listening to Liberal Democrat Media people bitching about the gulf war, you would have thought any competent politician would be ready for such a question.

Deer in the headlights do not work in politics.

Rove is an idiot who thinks Bush won because of him, rather than despite him. He is a rooster who thinks he made the sun rise.

Rove apparently has no capacity to learn from experience.
