“Operation Hummingbird” an identifier given (by me) to describe a very strategic approach of Karl Rove in getting Jeb Bush the republican nomination. “Hummingbird” describes a very a specific strategy to overcome a hurdle currently blocking Rove’s path, Donald Trump. Often it is easier to use a descriptive term, rather than spend 300 words having to re-explain a strategy as it expands and becomes increasingly visible over time.
Candidate Jeb Bush attends Chamber of Commerce dinner with Fox’s Rupert Murdoch and Valerie Jarrett (December 2014)
Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch wants the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal approved. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is constructing the trade deal. TPTA controls 40% of global manufacturing. Murdoch is Mr. Wall Street. Murdoch is supporting Bush to get his deal.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2015:
◾Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
◾Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
◾Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
◾Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.
Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support these legislative priorities. They, along with Mitch McConnell et al, have been lobbied (campaigns paid) to support them. Failure is not an option. The game has been rigged. Wall Street will not be denied. Period.
The ultimate RNC/GOPe goal is to get Jeb Bush on one side of the primary equation, and then see the DNC get Hillary Clinton on the other side. Together they represent a Win/Win for Wall Street regardless of general election outcome.
This is the goal; this is the only goal; this goal will never be abandoned. They will never stop working to deliver this goal. Trillions are at stake. Jeb Bush is the only acceptable RNC/GOPe candidate; that’s why Jeb doesn’t even have to work hard – the outcome is pre-ordained, decided, done. Jeb Bush will never be abandoned. Period.
There are professional GOPe participants in this race to help deliver the Jeb outcome.
The GOPe participants are: Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore. 8 Party insiders; 8 party loyalists; 8 party members working to support Jeb Bush.
The problem Karl Rove, the RNC/GOPe, Wall Street and the U.S. Chamber of commerce are having to deal with is Donald Trump. They have thrown everything at him in trying to take him down. So far, Trump has withstood all their attacks.
That’s why a few weeks before the CNN debate (Reagan) Library Karl Rove developed an alternate political strategy which can work simultaneously with, and parallel to, direct attacks. The alternate strategy was/is “operation hummingbird“.
Op-Hummingbird was executed exactly as it was predicted in the days leading up to the CNN debate. The Rovian GOPe strategy was quite successful as executed. In the next phase, Fox News becomes a big part of Op-Hummingbird because the target audience is Republican Primary Voters.
The ‘Op-Hummingbird’ goal is to promote Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio, and get them on either side of Donald Trump. Once that positioning is achieved they will use their very specific political skill-sets to take Trump down with the full assistance from a U.S media which thrives on the tearing down part. Isolate – Ridicule – Marginalize.
Op-Hummingbird began successfully on the night of the CNN debate. The successful results were immediately broadcast. For the past week all RNC/GOPe energy has been expended to push the Fiorina/Rubio narrative and support the ‘Hummingbird’ objective.
This FOX segment with John Roberts aired twice on Friday night, 3 times on Saturday, and 5 times during Sunday broadcast – including on Fox News Sunday (3 broadcasts). The segment re-aired 4 times on Monday, and at least twice today.

After replaying the Fiorina segment yet again, the next segment to promote is Marco Rubio. Again, Watch:

Rove’s strategy is continuing….
When you know the goal, the outline becomes transparent.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2015:
Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.
Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support these legislative priorities. They, along with Mitch McConnell et al, have been lobbied (campaigns paid) to support them. Failure is not an option. The game has been rigged. Wall Street will not be denied. Period.
I understand Trump is going to Boycott Fox. Its gotten to a point where every fox show except Hannity bashes Trump 24/7
Fox is so stupid, Jeb isn’t liked, Carly is a failed CEO and loves Hillary video makes her a Joke if she ever ran against Hillary.
Ailes should resign, I used to watch fox but no longer.
BUMP!
So CNN and the moderators are now in cahoots with Rove to do his bidding - the same liberal media who wanted him “frog-marched” into prison for the whole Plame nonsense? Yeah. Right.
I remember what the Delaware GOP did to Christine O'Donnell once she won the nomination.
I will not forget.
Go pound sand Tokyo Rove.
But isn't Hannity still a useful idiot for the GOPe because he has Rove on all the time or has he finally wised up?
Thank you for that, ‘pod.
Chris Coons has been a disaster as a Senator, earning the sobriquet “Harry Reid’s pet”.
Christine O’Donnell would have been a much better Senator.
Karl Rove and “Operation Hummingbird?” Hmmmmm...when it comes to Rove “Operation Fat Duck” would be more likely.....
“Candidate Jeb Bush attends Chamber of Commerce dinner with Fox’s Rupert Murdoch and Valerie Jarrett (December 2014)”
“Come to the Celebrity Ball”
Three Dog Night
“Come to the Globalists Ball”
SJB
“
The original “Operation Hummingbird” is now informally known as the “Night of the Long Knives”.
Please remind me what Tokyo Rove did to Christine O’Donnell while she was giving her acceptance speech for winning the GOP Delaware Primary for Senator.
Expose this,
Does Drudge have this?
Send the original link to Drudge.
I’ve heard this before. Dilute the field so Bush can with the first few primaries with 15-20% of the vote and keep Cruz/Walker/Paul from becoming the nominee.
Obviously the plan did not take into account Trump (and/or Carson) from getting into the race and soaking up all the support.
But much of Fox-and certainly Bill O'Reilly just reflects common media biases.
But that said, I would not have thought that Fox would be stupid enough to follow a Rove directed project. As I have said before, Rove has all the analytical ability of lichen on the shady side of a rock.
He was on Fox News talking about the disaster she would be if she was Senator. He talked about how unfit she was for the job.
IIRC.
He might as well as be a NYT reporter, or an MSLSD talking head.
“Fox is so stupid, Jeb isn’t liked, Carly is a failed CEO...”
There are many people who cannot see that the likes of Carly, Rubio, and others are nothing more than GOPe shills just like Jeb. The propaganda is being spewed far and wide at Fox.
I have no personal hostility to the man; but after watching him since his abysmal incompetence in the 2000 campaign, it has become ever clearer that he is a terrible liability to Republican prospects and American interests.
I do not want to sound cruel; but over and over again, he has illustrated this basic failing.
Rove’s school is that magic words can allow ANYONE to win a race.
Magic words during the election and presto an election only conservative.
Candidates do not control, those with the gold control.
