I’m convinced that Rove is paying Gomer and Sweater Vest to run. Why would Huckster leave a nice little one-night-a-week television show to run again when he knows there ain’t no way he’s winning the nomination?
When there is blood in the streets, follow the money.
Rove, in my opinion, is completely devoid of honour and integrity.
That he shamelessly suckles at the teat of Bush Inc does nothing to prove otherwise.
Recruitmment was evident from the start. Gomer's job as a "favorite son" is to keep Cruz from winning South Carolina. The Huckster's job is to take evangelical votes away from Cruz in Iowa. Sweater Vest's job is to keep yet more conservative votes from Cruz in Iowa, particularly. Rick Perry may be running on his own...but they're counting on him to split the Texas vote (which comes early this time around, on March 1, Super Tuesday)
The GOPe is attempting to kill the Cruz candidacy via "death from a thousand cuts".
