Cruz/Rove feud heats up

Maddow Blog
When Ted Cruz and Karl Rove are engaged in a feud, who do you root for? Well, it's a funny story, actually.


In Republican politics, Karl Rove tends to be one of the party’s most respected and influential voices, whether he’s earned that stature or not, but that doesn’t mean the former Bush/Cheney “architect” is above the occasional intra-party feud.
 
In recent weeks, for example, Rove has been at odds with presidential hopeful Donald Trump, whom Rove recently referred to, according to various reports, as “a complete idiot.” For his part, Trump has called Rove “a total loser.”
 
Far more quietly, Rove also seems to be at odds with another Republican White House hopeful: Jeb Bush.
 
But arguably of greater interest still is Rove’s new dispute with an entirely different GOP presidential candidate: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Oliver Willis explained yesterday that their feud has led to a fascinating series of exchanges.
