Republican strategist Karl Rove arranged a meeting between fundraisers for GOP candidate Ben Carson and casino tycoon Steve Wynn, Bloomberg reports.
Wynn is a sometimes-business competitor of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, whose campaign is viewing the meeting as an attempt by the GOP establishment to help Carson topple his chief rival in the primary race.
"Karl Rove is at the center of the GOP establishment â fearful of what real leadership in Washington D.C. will accomplish," Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told Bloomberg in a statement. "Mr. Trump continues to expose the all-talk, no action politicians propped up their dark money super PACs that have failed the American people for far too long."
The news that Rove organized a meeting between Carson fundraisers and Wynn comes amidst growing reports that established GOP activists are mobilizing to halt Trumpâs ascension.
Last week, a Wall Street Journal report revealed that Republican operative Liz Mair has formed a guerilla-style campaign "to defeat and destroy" Trump's candidacy. Trump Card LLC allows private anti-Trump donations.

Mexican Reconquista Panda has been abandoned by Rove and exiled to the island of discarded idiot mascots of the Rovian Right.
The Cheap Labor Express is in full panic mode.
They must stop us from electing a President who would shut them down.
Mr. Whiteboard is acting desperate
Rove will attack anyone who failed to have the foresight to hire him.
Please note my tag line.....here we go again....
Rove can’t get anyone elected. The voters respect the opposition candidate whoever they may be over the Rove hand picked one. Exile Rove to Alba.
RE: Big Donors
A lot of people seem to have a visceral reaction to the above term as if there’s something INHERENTLY wrong with being a big donor.
That is kind of naive. Congress will still be enacting laws. Not sure Trump’s belittling and intimidation schemes will work there. Wonder if anyone for Trump is aware of that.
Captain Obvious ping.
It must be reverse psychology because now I feel like supporting Carson.
Trump knows exactly what he is doing.
“The word compromise is absolutely fine. But if you are going to compromise, ask for about three times more than you want. You understand? So when you compromise, you get what you want.”
Rove needs to catch up. Ben Carson just isn’t going anywhere but down.
Karl’s as out of touch as he was when he told Ted Cruz he didn’t have a prayer of winning his Senate race.
We have laws that say illegal aliens are to be deported. What we have not had is a President who will follow them. Not this one or the last one.
The Congress is useless to enforce the laws they have already passed.
We don’t need new laws, we need the ones we have enforced and only the President can do that.
It’s funny but at this point I think trying to prop up Carson helps Trump. Cruz is the biggest long term threat for Trump. Cruz having to split evangelicals with Carson might lead to the establishment’s worst nightmare. Trump wins Iowa and runs away with the nomination.
Seriously doubt that’s going to happen.
What is Rove’s salary? What does he do to earn it?
