And Ted Cruz is the one going after this Washington Cartel, hammer and tongs.
Awwwaaaaah!
Bush’s fault.
Influence buying moved to another level now that Hillary’s in the game.500K is chump-change,gotta get to 7 figures now to be in the game.
Working under the assumption that they can support a campaign better themselves, donors are building their own organizations, staffed by operatives who report to them. “A lot of people who felt betrayed in 2012 set out to build political structures,” says Kellyanne Conway, president of the pro-Ted Cruz super-pac Keep the Promise I, which is backed by hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer. Mercer is a prime example of the new breed of activist donor. This presidential cycle, he has donated more than $30 million to a quartet of pro-Cruz super-pacs. A computer scientist by training, Mercer is also part owner of a political data firm called Cambridge Analytica, which boasts on its website that it employs “psychographic profiling” to recruit voters. As a result, Mercer’s pacs have shunned the traditional strategy of saturation TV coverage. Instead, Mercer is focused on targeted radio buys, digital outreach, and field organizing.
The savviest GOP candidates have capitalized on this shift. In fact, Cruz’s campaign fund-raising apparatus seems designed to let donors roll up their sleeves. Cruz contributors can specify how they want their money spent, much in the way universities allow benefactors to earmark their donations for a new science wing or aquatics center. “If you’re a donor, you can say, ‘I want to see this money used for Iowa,’” one strategist told me. “It’s a way to entice donors. They look at it like fantasy football.”
Karl makes for a perfect old lady.
He’s a snide, vicious gossip and little more.
I think they will be just as happy with Hillary as Jeb. After all “what difference does it make?”
Very few articles have been so satisfying to read as this one.
To discover Karl Rove has lost his once highly-placed seat in Republican circles warms me. He richly deserves it, and has been responsible for an attitude that permeated the right for too long.
He doesn’t give a damn about conservative thought, ideas or policy. He is a promoter. That is all.
I knew Bob Perry, he was a self made man.
I know Kenneth Langone, he is a hoot!
The going joke is that he (Rove) must have a picture of Roger Ailes in his underwear to keep his contract..
I wonder if Sheppy is, by chance, in - or has a copy of - that pic. I cannot figure out how he keeps renewing his contract.
Tokyo Rove their point girl and their bought puppets are losing. LoL.
“All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view but it’s not sane, it’s not sane
I just want someone to say to me
I’ll always be there when you wake
You know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made”
But insist we much... we must... and we will much... about... that... be...
George Bush won in spite of Rove, not because of him. Rove was a large part of what went wrong in the Bush administration.
He isn't an architect, he's a tin ear who panders to moderates because he has no bedrock values of his own.
Biggest fool in the Administration.
The stupid is epic.
Well these billionaire GOPe should follow Trump and run for president. Trump admitted he was a part of the GOPe and now has a a lot of support.
That assumes that Rove wears underwear.
