Karl Rove on how Donald Trump's birther obsession hurt his presidency chances, Obama's Paul Ryan fixation and 'hot mic' comments and more.

Ha ha, karl rove calling anyone else joke.
Karl advised Bush not to fight back when attacked or to veto bills in an fools attempt at pacifying the left and the MSM. So now Trump attacks Obama in a highly visible manner and Rove is surprised but when America's right begins to support a champion who will take the Great Pretender on head on.
Trump is not a conservative anything though. In fact he has no ideology except Trump. WHich is OK for Trump but maybe not to good for the right in America. But at this point in time he is in fact the enemy of my enemy so to speak so I enjoy it when he tweaks Obama but I won't enjoy it much if I have to pull the lever for him over Obama but I will do it.
No one more appropriate than the joke conservative KaRo the Rino to voice this observation.
A stopped clock...
Karl rove is such a corporate muppet.
Yep. Rove is right. Trump is a joke and a democrat
I think Karl is going to trot out Jeb Bush. Karl will be in for a big surprise soon. He has been ecstatic lately after Boner caved. Lets make sure Karls name turns to Mud. He is as big an enemy as Obama.
I just want to point out that there are issues that might win the GOP primaries but will likely seriously damage the candidate for the election itself.
I don’t have a lot of respect for Rove, but he is 100% correct in this case.
Rove is an establishment GOP piece of elitist crap. Rove has made damaging statements against O’Donnell, Palin, Bachman, Rand Paul, and Trump. The left LOVES to see the in-fighting from these elitist turds - they play it up in the media as evidence that these candidates cannot even garner the support of established republicans. What a joke. Rove: You had your time, you did a good job, now just go away - we’ve got it from here.
Trump is stating all of the things that we, Conservatives, spend hours screaming at our television for our so-called Repubic elected officials to state. Yet, so many people just willy-nilly dismiss him. Does that make much sense? Would I have considered Trump to be the ‘dark-horse’ candidate a year ago or two years ago? NO, he was not even in my realm of thought. However, he is addressing the issues that resonate with me. He knows when he’s getting screwed in a deal - does Obama or even Boehner?
I am open to his candidacy at this point. I find it a bit refreshing to see someone tackle the right issues head on without fear of possible MSM scrutiny - he just doesn’t give a damn. Good! Sure, he is no stranger to smokey, backroom, wink and nod deals - he could not have achieved what he has without the ability to maneuver the political scene. I find that insight to be a good thing. He knows how the machines operate. Given that he loves this country and is committed to preserving the freedoms and fiscal solvency of our nation, I think we may need someone like Trump.
I’m not going all in to support him yet. It’s too early and the field isn’t yet known. But, I will certainly listen eagerly to his views and await his performance in debates. I’m open to the idea of a President Trump.
And Karl has shown such concern for the Constitution in the face of it being defied by a fraud.
I am also skeptical when I see daily PPP polls that push Trump (”running away with it”) and bash Palin (”Charlie Sheen beats her among independents.” As if a typical “independent” wouldn’t be tempted to vote Charlie Sheen simply to play along with the inanity of the poll question . . . duh!)
Who pays for these PPP polls, Daily Kos still?
Full court press for Obama from Rove and Romney.
What incredible backstabbers against the GOP.
How will effective exposure of Soetoro/Obama as a constitutional fraud damage his general election opponent?
That’s what they said about zero and bubba.
By the way bubba now playing golf at Ocean Reef—Upper Key Largo—,just spotted there with the hilda beast.
Thank You Karl for weighing in.
Do the Democrats ever call one of their possible candidates jokes?
He is a JOKE of a candidate. I am continually amazed at people here that fall for folks like Trump, Angle, O’Donnell, etc.
It’s about winning elections, not putting up complete morons so 80% of the independents (you know, the people that actually decide elections) hold their noses and vote for Democrats.
Trump is a complete joke.
