Karl Rove to helm massive GOP fundraising drive for Georgia runoffs

Senate Republicans have tapped Karl Rove to oversee their fundraising program for the Georgia runoff elections, according to a person familiar with the effort.

The former George W. Bush adviser will serve as national finance chairman for the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising account formed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee that will benefit Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. The Jan. 5 runoffs in Georgia will determine which party controls the Senate next year.

The Georgia contests have become a focal point for both parties. Outside groups have begun to spend heavily and potential future presidential hopefuls, such as Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, are hitting the trail for the Republican candidates. Vice President Mike Pence is slated to travel to Georgia later this week.

People involved in the campaigns say it’s likely that the parties will spend hundreds of millions of dollars in Georgia over the next two months. Loeffler is facing pastor Raphael Warnock, while Perdue is trying to beat back a challenge from documentary filmmaker Jon Ossoff.

Turd Blossom was helping Trump out and you saw how successful that was. Let's hope his streak continues.

1. Karl Rove is a parasite that has fed off the GOP for over 30 years.

He keeps losing and they keep paying him. Great gig if you can get it.

[Turbineguy]

2. This is serious.

Apparently they think this is their last chance to destroy the country.

[riversedge]

7. Agree. Money talks as they say

[CrispyQ]

11. Obstructionist Mitch needs to stay Majority Leader so he can stall out any legislation/nominees

that might actually clean up the giant turd that Trump & the GOP have taken on the country. Then, the media will parrot the GOP and call us the do nothing dems over & over again, never once pointing out that McConnell himself is the bottleneck. In the meantime, the repub base will get fired up for 2022 & 2024 & if the dems can't get any meaningful legislation passed, a lot of people who never voted until 2020 may become disillusioned & not show up at the polls because they will (mistakenly) believe that the two parties are basically the same, or that voting doesn't make a difference. We lost seats this time. We could lose the House next time.

We need those two senate seats & then the dems need to go BOLD!

[DENVERPOPS]

15. This truly is

the turning point for the future of our country........

Some of us on DU recognized long ago, that the focus should be on the RepubliCON Senators up for re-election..........
Without Republicans controlling the Senate, Trump would evaporate in a day or two........

If we had control of the Senate in 2016, Trump would have been long gone in short order.

If the RepubliCONs keep control of the Senate, they will go all out to obstruct anything and everything Biden tries to accomplish, the same as the successfully did with the Obama administration.

You can bet your sweet ass that the RepubliCON donors are going to send an un-precedented amount of cash to the Georgia Republican Senators......They are going for broke and damn well know it.........

[FarPoint]

3. He is sooooo yesterday....

Yawn for Karl...

[Escurumbele]

32. Republicans don't care, if they think he will help they will bring him in and obey

Republicans have no shame, deep inside I have to think they know Rove is a leach, but they don't care as long as the leach does what they need him to do.

[rustysgurl]

4. Karl Rove has quickly become irrelevant

He is the remora sucking on the dead shark carcass that is the Republican Party.

[NCjack]

5. DEMs, we again have to dig deep into our pockets.

[Native]

6. I wonder what percent of the cut he's been guaranteed.

[IronLionZion]

8. I hope they waste their money and Dems get more votes

since it comes down to turnout.

[Grins]

9. Good move. Who is doing that for the Democrat?

Or are we still disorganized?

[BumRushDaShow]

12. I have gotten multiple fundraising emails from multiple organizations for both GA Dems

Have you donated?

[Atticus]

10. He would raise funds for Dr. Mengele and Ed Gein if they had "R's" after their names. nt

[Salviati]

13. Gonna donate $13.96 to Warnock, Ossoff, and Fair Fight

In memory of Ham Rove:

[catrose]

14. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[cstanleytech]

16. That's a man that is deserving of every ounce of bad karma if it ever hits him.

[Escurumbele]

33. Amen

[Blue Owl]

17. Karl's still a little more shrewd and lucid than Rudy G...

But I think our guys can take him down easy! He's not the mastermind he once was...

[Escurumbele]

34. Do you really think there is need for a mastermind to deal with republican voters?

I have to think that their base is the most ignorant in the country, for them to not understand that the judges republicans want to appoint are going to screw their lives and still vote for republicans shows the capacity they have to rationalize.

Maybe Rove is not the mastermind he was, but maybe he can congratulate them for being so ignorant and uneducated, just like trump did in one of his rallies, and they will go nuts, they will want to vote right away.

All he has to say is socialists democrats are going to take away your guns, period.

Stacey Abrams seems to be doing a great job in Georgia, so lets hope she can do it.

Someone posted about making an easy $1,200.00...Just vote in Georgia for the two Democrats and the Democrats will get the stimulus done, you will get your $1,200.00 in the mail, the republicans will not do that for you. That should be a good one...

[not fooled]

18. He should have been jailed

a long time ago. Instead he still gets jobs and is lionized as some sort of GOPee elder statesman. In reality he's a sleazy douche who has played a key role in the disintegration of this nation.

[11 Bravo]

19. Bring it, Turd Blossom.

[StaunchDemocrat1957]

20. We have to make McConnell Irrelevant!

he's had too much control! People need help!

[rickyhall]

21. We need to make repugs irrelevant!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. One only hopes he manages this as well as he did the 2012 Koch money.... nt

[Wicked Blue]

23. So they have that has-been Rove, but we've got OMAHA STEVE

Hang it up already, Rove

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. Yeah, I gotta give it to O Steve there. Hell, even Scuba Steve might

do a better job.

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. Underestimating the amount of $$$ Rove can raise from RePutinican mega-donors is not wise IMO.

[LiberalLovinLug]

26. The dirtiest slimiest trickster there is.

I shudder to think what new conspiracy theories he will foment.

[rocktivity]

27. TRANSLATION: Most of massive Georgia GOP fundraising revenue

will be kicked back to Trump and Co.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. "Turd Blossom" is back. Actually never went anywhere. Like Newt. Sharks never sleep.

[quakerboy]

29. This is why making nice and letting bygones be bygones is a failing

I suspect most of us are aware of at least some of the dirty crap this individual has been apparently involved in.

But we(or at least our elected dems) let it all go. No prosecutions, no exposing all the stuff former administrations have pulled.

Biden needs to end the streak of crony politics that always covers the rear of everyone who came before. Expose all the dirty dealing and questionable actions of EVERY previous administration, let loose the prosecutors, and let the court cases fully shake out in the courts, legal and public opinion.

[packman]

30. Rove - music to his little greedy ears

[Escurumbele]

31. OK, I want to know who is responsible for lifting Rove's rock?

I was happy not to see his face for all these time, who lifted the damn rock so that he could scroll out?

That SOB should be in jail, he is, as far as I know, the first to ignore a subpoena and now it is a trend with republicans.

[Grimelle]

35. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger

Just threw cold water on that race.
