Karl Rove connects Carson to big donors
The Hill ^

Posted on 11/28/2015 8:21:45 AM PST by springwater13

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 — 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 Trump’s 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.

Throwing big money at an idiot doesn’t mean he’s not an idiot. It just means he’s a rich idiot.

Well, looks like Carson is Rove’s guy after all.

On NBC AM news, they showed Dr. Ben Nyquil Carson being asked who he'd call if there's an attack and he had no answer. What did his staff do? Blame the media and call that a "gotcha'" question! That lame excuse is wearing on voters.

The Carson/SDA food pyramid from Loma Linda.

There are many causes for vitamin B12 deficiency.

Surprisingly, two of them are practices often undertaken to improve health:

1. Vegetarian diet

2. weight-loss surgery.

A primary sign of low B12 levels is a constant lack of energy.

Oct 26, 2015 - On Friday in Miami, Trump had ripped Carson for having even less energy than Jeb Bush, whom Trump has called low-energy.

From accounts I have read, Liz’ little LLC has already folded!

I kind of figured Rove and his band of RINO’s were propping up Carson.
The proof is in this article.

“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.”

Two things:

1) A little thing called the VETO
2) Another little thing called the BULLY PULPIT

Trump will destroy the GOPe like he’s destroying their candidates today. He’s thrown a bomb in their outhouse and it’s raining $hit and boards! If they try to fight him openly, he will destroy them! It is more likely that they will trapse up to the White House and try a$$ kissing to see if they can get a piece of the pie.

Story at Drudge is pretty much “non-news” ...

You can be sure that frantic GOPe calls to billionaires have been happening for Months ...

I don’t even know why Drudge bothered to report this ...
