Karl Rove mentions entire population of Earth as potential GOP candidates except Rand

[ObiRandKenobi]

Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Rick Snyder (Rick Snyder!?), Bobby Jindal (Bobby Jindal!?), and even Ted Cruz! But alas, no Rand Paul...

Expect to see more of this as it gets closer to election season, Rand has too much freedom baggage to be considered a serious candidate

[AJ Antimony]

Since when does Karl "Romney's going to win!" Rove have any credibility?

But but but VOTER FRAUD! I wonder why the republicans thought there was so much voter fraud...oh yeah because they were masters of it during the primaries ha.

[compromise]

He forgot Bush.

Some words in that sentence don't really work well together, particularly the words: "Karl .. Rove" and "credibility".

[Warlord]

He doesn't need any credibility when he controls hundreds of millions of dollars

[Brett85]

And this isn't like Ron running last time. Rand is a legitimate candidate with a good chance to win.

[AuH20]

Didn't Karl ignore and then ridicule when Rand was the upstart primary challenger in Kentucky? He just won't learn.

[devil21]

Rove didn't show up at the NC Convention for nothing. His job was to ensure Gunny was beaten. He's going to fight us at every turn.

[RickyJ]

That's cool, Ron Paul is my first choice anyway! :D

It does make me wonder what Rove was thinking privately and what he said privately when Rand announced his candidacy. Was he confident? Terrified? Dismissive? Is it possible that Rove is insightful enough that he privately predicted the Randslide?

This was the "official" position:

I feel like the propaganda may have influenced you. RON was a legitimate candidate who not only would have had a good chance to win, but IMO probably would have won if not for Foxnews. If Foxnews and CNN were truly neutral and just reported what all the candidates did and said, there's a pretty decent chance Ron Paul would be president right now. Look at his overwhelming support online where everyone has access to basically all the information about candidates. He would have won Iowa easily and just gone on from there.

In other words, I don't truly blame joe sixpack for his lack of knowledge about politics. The propagandists on TV are about 80-90% of the problem, IMO.

Correction... possibly a two term president.

Someone take away that man's whiteboard and banish him to obscurity where he belongs.

[BSU kid]

I actually consider it a better endorsement for Rand, that Karl Rove doesn't think he is a good candidate.

[satchelmcqueen]

yes rove, christie, rubio and rick fucking perry! cant wait to see rick bomb his natural flow of forming a sentence.

[whoisjohngalt]

Listen to the clip again. He consecutively says, "There's discussion about Scott Walker" then "There's discussion about the governor of Wisconsin". My God. This man is a fucking idiot.

[Brian4Liberty]

Rubio could call for gun confiscation and full communism, and Hannity would still support him.
