Karl Rove Defends Jeb Bush: Voters "Who Made A Decision Are Not Stuck On Their Decision" (RealClearPolitics)

MARTHA MACCALLUM, FNC: “What is the mind-set at this point? When you look at these numbers and you have Carson and Trump trading spots at least according to one national poll for first and second, what we're looking at, but you know these other folks who everybody thought were strong, deep bench of the Republican Party are just mired, they're not getting anywhere at all, Karl? Does anything change that.

KARL ROVE: “Well, sure there is and you see it in the poll this morning. I agree with what Chris Stirewalt said earlier this is one poll. You shouldn't sort of say Trump is in second place, but there is an interesting number in there reflected in other recent polls. Seven out of 10 people in the "CBS /New York Times poll" say it's too early to make a decision. Recent poll said 64% of the people side it is too early to make a decision. Many people who made a decision are not stuck on their decision. Trump was in the poll, only put out a couple of these numbers but half the people who said they were for Trump, 11% out of 100 said, I made up my mind, I'm nor Trump and I'm not going to change my mind. With Ben Carson in the lead with 2 points, five points out of 100, five points said I'm stuck on Carson. Look, all the people stuck on Trump or Carson are not necessarily stuck. They're capable of changing. My point the vast number of people, we're sitting here paying attention to it as junkies every single day, but vast majority of people are not paying as much attention as we are, are far more fluid. Watching aspect trajectories, capable of changing judgments.”
