Karl Rove Super PAC Warms to Trump: Privately, Telling Donors He Can Win 2016 General Election

Source: Politico.com 04/14/16 05:09

Privately, the super PAC conceived by Rove is suggesting to its donors that it can help Trump win the White House and save Republican senators whose reelection bids could be jeopardized by having Trump at the top of the ticket.

The apparent warming of the American Crossroads super PAC and its sister groups to Trump has become evident in its recent communications with donors, including a Tuesday afternoon “investor conference call,” according to multiple sources familiar with the outreach.
The phone call — which featured Rove, Crossroads officials and a pollster — laid out swing state polling and electoral map analysis done by the group showing circumstances in which Trump could beat Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, in a general election, according to three sources briefed on the call.
One source, a high-level operative with the Koch brothers’ conservative advocacy network, characterized the conversation as heralding “a softening of the anti-Trump position” within the big-money GOP establishment. The source added of Crossroads’ stance on Trump, “It's not that they support him, only that if he's the guy, we can do something to stop Hillary.”

God, what fools those donors be. Why in the hell would anyone give him any money to make his broken-crystal ball predictions?

from under his petroleum slimed rock.

He thinks his "machine" is still functional and thinks he can pull off another steal. In which case, he may want to shred the party more than the drumpf does and figures that together they can get 'er done and then some. Do not underestimate the significance of this event, it means things can and will get worse.

The only other people I loathe with as much intensity are all the rest of that evil administration and their pals.

if Rove's home cooked polling says that HRC is weak in the battleground states so be it. DO NOT think this is in the bag yet....

until late January the following year to celebrate the new president. And since my state votes late and has few delegates, I am just watching for now. Gives me a long time to observe the way this whole mess develops... it has not been dull for some time.

Turdblossom emerging from the dregs of all things vile is interesting but I wasn't expecting him quite yet... I think I smell something foul on the wind just in time to make a total fiasco of the convention and the aftermath.

Well you know Rove has been sitting around with his thumb up his arse for so long it is getting to him. I imagine every time I give my fans the thumbs up ,Rove after seeing enough of my thumb straight up, he finally got around to asking himself ,why am I sitting on it ! Giuliani decided to hold back on his public announcement throwing in with me and so Rove wants in on the pecking order, which of course will step Giuliani down a notch when he decides to come around. All the turn coats are a little nervous ! But they will come around to my way sooner or later !

That's not exactly what it says here as in rock solid but the indications are clearly there in what it says here. Party establishment has the three Bush brothers behind Cruz ,I mean how dumb can the big donors be !!!!!!!!
I mean establish that, the Bush brothers behind Cruz ! That's almost as entertaining as Christie standing behind me looking out into the abyss wondering if it is looking back at him ! My fans are really good about not laughing or making gestures about his oddness on stage !But they tell me they really enjoy the show ! Christie hopes Cruz will join him real soon. The saying as it goes,two birds with one stone and a bird in hand is worth two in the bush ! yes a cruzer !

Soon enough why Cruz just might make the date on stage with Christie will find it's way to the news !

Stay tuned,great entertainment ahead in the trumpathon spring fling !



Yes by all means stay tuned
