Rove: Republicans Supporting Cruz Don't Know What They Really Want
Dailywire ^ | 11/23/15 | Robert Kravchik

Joining CBS's "Face The Nation" on Sunday, Karl Rove suggested that Americans who grade Senator Ted Cruz highly in terms of his presidential readiness are too ignorant to know what they are looking for in an ideal presidential candidate.

When Rove was asked to opine on a poll querying Iowa Republican caucus goers' views of the GOP candidates' readiness to be Commander in Chief, he said of these likely voters, "I don't think they know what they want."

"I don't think they know what they mean when it comes down to specific candidates," he said of Iowa Republicans. "They want somebody who seems .. quote..- 'presidential.'"

Cruz came in at the poll's top spot with 67% of respondents believing him to be ready for the presidency. Senator Marco Rubio came in second place with 51%.

Earlier in the segment, Rove had described the Republican field as aligning itself against Donald Trump, saying, "The rest of the field is beginning to consolidate around the notion that it shouldn’t and cannot and must not be Trump."

No mention was made about conservatives and Republicans consolidating against Bush, whose support in polls has been sinking since he announced his candidacy. Recent polls in Iowa have him receiving around 5% support of the state's likely Republican primary voters. (snip)

Rove really is vacuous. It wasn't just 1 poll of "ignorant Iowans" who said that Cruz was most prepared to be President, it was three states, dumbass!

In the 3 states comprising CBS's Battleground Poll... the same question was asked as to whom is best prepared to be Prseident....Cruz 67% in Iowa; 57% is SC- all others well behind. In NH, it was Trump (48%) and Cruz (47%).

Now considering that in all these polls 80..90% of these folks don't register Cruz as their first preference as a candidate, their respect for Cruz is remarkable.

Cruz couldn't have received better news- and I imagine it will inform his campaign from here on. It will just take a gentle nudge to convince these voters to forsake a doubt as to a certainty, and vote for the guy they think is best prepared to be President.

Of course, Rove knows exactly what conservatives want, having lost how many elections in the last decade?

As a Cruz supporter I know what I want.

I want Rove to go away and take all the Bush money with him.

Rove: Republicans Supporting Cruz Don't Know What They Really Want

I may not know what I really want, but I know what Karl Rove really wants - globalization, increased profits for the financial sector, ruination of the sector providing jobs to the white working class, and the replacement of whites by browns on the bottom and yellows at the top.

That is sufficient to make Karl Rove my mortal enemy, and by extension his stable of clients.

Truly a flaming idiot hack. He’s carrying the goal of emulating Democrats to very high level.

Well by that measure Jeb "Tippy Toes is Tallest" Bush flunked out long ago.

Karl is majorly butthurt that if Trump, Cruz or Carson are elected the only influence in politics he'll have will be on the type of donuts found in the green rooms of the Sunday talk show circuit.

He knows he is lying. He knows Cruz supporters are fed up with Rove’s cabal.

Cruz is moving up in every single poll-—probably expected as both Fiorina and Carson drop. I’m sure he’s picking up some of their supporters as is Trump.

Rove is barking at the moon. And the moon ain’t listening.

I know what Rove wants...

He wants money to flow into his PAC, and from there into his pocket.

The worldly wise and their anecdotes can never be exhausted. Rove most likely believes Islam is a religion of peace too...just like his former boss (GW)
