Are you really Karl Rove?
Can you prove you’re not?
Who are these people? Confimative action in play. "Look at us, we're not racist!"
It's the only way to win.
DO NOT LET THE ENEMY DRIVE THE NARRATIVE.
DO NOT LET THE ENEMY DEFINE THE DEBATE.
And most importantly: DO NOT LET THE ENEMY DICTATE THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
Perseverance will pay off if all of us backstop our candidate. Do not fall for the divide and conquer strategy that the RINOs, DNC, and the MSM lackeys keep shoving down our throat.
Exactly so !
GO TED, GO.....all the way to the White House/presidency !
Jeb thinks he can win the nomination by plurality like Romney
You say “investment banker” as if it equates with “axe murderer” or “concentration camp guard.” Do you know what an investment banker is? BTW, she’s a salesperson there and in charge of many other salespeople.
