First one in: Karl Rove on Ted Cruz's window of opportunity
fox news ^ | 3-23-2015

Posted on 03/23/2015 10:04:59 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

Rove sees "terrific strengths" in a Cruz candidacy: "This is a Princeton graduate; magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. He's really smart. He's incredibly articulate. He was a college debate champion and is a very accomplished speaker."

Rove also keyed on Cruz's attempt to separate himself from other Republican hopefuls: "He's come up with a label that might in some quarters be considered a disadvantage and turned it into an advantage... He says I want to lead a movement of 'courageous conservatives' to restore our country. This is an effort to take his role in the shutdown of 2013 and turn it into a positive by saying, in essence, I had the courage to take on this issue."

Did Rove just turn his shutdown frown upside down?

So he’s saying that Ted is clean and articulate?

Here come the Jebuzites. Let the family squabbles begin. The libs hope anti-dems will tear each other limb from limb AGAIN as in the last two elections. Wonder if we’ll rise above and unite to save what’s left or fragment into dozens of p.o.’d stubborn pieces and hand it all back to the d@mn dems?

Meanwhile the MSM and drive-bys can keep changing the call on the field to mess up the minds of Jane and Joe voter until nothing is left but the debris-strewn battlefield and victorious dems. That’s the scenario that worries me about this whole mess anymore.

Never thought I would say this: Rove, shut up and go away. You are now nothing but a nadderering nabob of negativism and worthless drivel, only in this to keep getting your paycheck from Fox news. You have outlived your usefulness. Go quietly into the night Karl, no one will miss you.

Analysis has shown that Bush would won the recount anyway.

But Cruz was pivotal in winning Bush v. Gore so that that wasn't necessary.

I think Cruz should offer walker veep. 4 years me... 4 years you... 4 years me again, and then your turn again. That would make me happy.

You’re confusing intelligence with wisdom.

Age-progress pudgy Jeb Bush and see a near clone of pudgy Karl Rove. It’s uncanny.

Liberal Alan Dershowitz, Ted’s professor at Harvard Law, said Cruz was “off the charts brilliant” and the smartest student he ever had in all his years teaching.

Hey that would work especially if Cruz could capture all the illegal’s votes that Obama brought over and make it so the Dems wouldn’t win another election for decades. That’s wishful thinking but it would be justice served cold and right in 0’s face...

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BUSH’S CONSERVATISM AND CRUZ CONSERVATISM?........”kinder, gentler - Bush1, compassionate - Bush2 .....versus” COURAGEOUS CONSERVATISM” - CRUZ.

someone who is confident and proud and won’t back away from advocating and preaching American Exceptionalism AND........ the American Way! ITS ABOUT TIME

Rove is looking for a job. Jeb has already turned him down.

I remember reading back pages news items about the results of at least two newspapers who actually went back and counted all the ballots in Florida themselves. Their results were not publicized widely because Bush won that contest.

I was a bit surprised - I expected Rove to be a back-handed naysayer and he seemed a bit more balanced than usual.

The difference here is that Cruz is smart enough to be accounted among the best of them without being corrupted and captured by the pervasive liberal groupthink that goes with those institutions.
