Why do I think that Rove helped put Romney up to this and now he’s throwing Mitt under the bus...

Anyone else thinking the same thing?

Dollars to donuts Karl was right there in that meeting where they all collaborated about how Romney would espoil it all. Rove now realizes it didn’t work and is trying to rehabilitate his own standing and usher in some other diversion. I’d call him a snake, but he’s too damn fat of an ass to ‘slither’.

Hey, can we Trump and Cruz supporters all agree that what Romney did was horrible? And, that Rove is a snake in the grass? We are from the same group of conservatives who want to fight the establishment...we have simply put out trust in one of either of the men who fight for the same.

Karl Rove. His markers dried out long ago. ;-)

imo, rove has a track record of backing losers & giving bad advice.

hindsight is 20/20.

rove is obviously trying to save his political viability.

And the Karl jets off to Georgia's Golden Isles for this:

HuffPo’s Grim: 54 Private Jets at Meeting to Stop Trump

by JOEL B. POLLAK
9 Mar 2016
Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday that “something like 54 private jets” had arrived at an elite meeting of tech CEOs, GOP party insiders and big donors set on stopping Donald Trump before he wins the Republican nomination.

The meeting was the annual World Forum, an off-the-record conference hosted by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a leading Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank. AEI has hosted the “secretive” event since 1982, but this year had a unique focus. Republican pundit Bill Kristol and former George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove were there, among others, including leaders of both the House and Senate.

Grim broke the story:

Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering.

The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)44% (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)56% , GOP Sens. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)75% (Ark.), Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO)33% (Colo.), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)88% (S.C.), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)50% (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he “cannot support Donald Trump.

Rove still hasn’t a clue that Romney is working with Harry Reid

It's striking how Mitt had absolutely no problem trashing Donald Trump, the leading Republican Presidential candidate when he could not bring himself to voice even the slightest criticism of Barak Obama

Hindsight. If it had worked Karl would be proclaiming his endorsement of the treasonous Romney attack.
