Donald Trump: 'I Don't Want to Listen to Karl Rove'
Yahoo News ^ | April 24, 2011 | Saul Relative

The man who inspired the documentary "Bush's Brain" and was the political mastermind behind George W. Bush's presidency got no vote of confidence from potential GOP candidate Donald Trump during a recent interview on Fox News. Trump, speaking with Greta van Susteren on "On The Record," literally named the former White House chief political adviser and one-time chief of staff as the "man who ran Bush into the ground."

"Bush finished so weak that we ended up getting Obama," Trump said. "(Rove) ran the man into the ground. "And the more I see about Karl Rove, the more I realize: maybe it wasn't completely Bush's fault. ... So I don't want to listen to Karl Rove."

He recently said he had information on the birth certificate issue that people would find "interesting." He said that he would soon be revealing the findings of his investigators, a team that he purportedly sent to Hawaii to investigate the authenticity of Obama's birth in that state.

He’s spot on about Tokyo Karl.

I’m not all-in for the Donald, but his forthright honesty is refreshing. And he’s dead on about that idiot Rove. Say what you want about Trump’s self-centeredness, but Rove is entirely selfish and without scruple, and has no love for his country. He only chose to be a Republican because his kind are too plentiful in the Democratic Party

Sean Hannity calls Rove “The Architect” but never mentions it was a blueprint for disaster.

Karl Rove engineered compassionate conservatism.

Compassionate conservatism was really just another name for moderate liberalism.

Bush and his family was born up in the Northeast. They brought their moderate mamby-pamby Northeastern style squishy conservatism with’em.

Sorry Bush family, we all see through Karl Rove’s moderate at best politics. This Texan won't be fooled again.

Whoever it was that advised Jimmah brought us Reagan.

Rove, who advised Dubya, brought us Obama a/k/a Soetoro a/k/a Dunham a/k/a Zippy a/k/a The Kenyan Usurper, etc, etc, etc.

STFU Rove. You’re responsible for this crap. Just STFU, go away, and abuse yourself, or write your memoirs, or whatever. But go away. You have overstayed your welcome.

I really wish Cheney would speak up. I’d love for his take on all this. This troop of fools we’ve got at presidential candidates is pathetic. Not one is worthy. Sarah or Michele are worthy, but they’ve not announced if they are willing to go through that wringer. I’m hoping that Paul Ryan really thinks and prays hard about his country, and what’s best for her now. I’d pay to see Ryan annihilate Obama in a debate.

Trump claims Rove is actually working for Romney, but on the QT for the moment. In any case, I’m glad Trump is calling out Rove for the phony he is. Rove and Bush are Progressive Republicans. They don’t necessarily think Big Government is bad; they just want anyone with an ‘R” next to their name in Congress to be a Committee Chair so the “R”’s can dole out our money to their causes. And I’ve had it with Hannity always hosting Rove on both his shows. That term “The Architect” - what a joke. If Bush leading 2 wars having to face as sure a loser as Kerry face difficulty getting elected then it goes to show how lame he and Rove really are. And “The Architect” managed to lose the House to NANCY PELOSI - quite possibly the most stupid Speaker in history. Some architect. Hannity is clearly a moron to keep giving this fool air time.

And every time I see Rove on TV with that stupid Dry Erase Board of his I think - what a condescending fool this idiot is. It reeks of a superiority he thinks he has; that he has to literally write out everything he says because he really thinks we’re too stupid to understand. Rove is a government-loving policy wonk. He’s no Conservative. I’m trying to remember: has Karl Rove actually ever publicly stated he is against Big Government on principle, and he wants to work to shrink the size of it? All I ever hear him say is what government ought to do; not that it’s too big and needs to be considerably reduced.

Here is another thing I agree with D. Trump: I do not want to listen to Carl Rove. Rove is a snake, pretending to be a Republican while he went to extra effort to help Christine O’Donnell’s Democrat opponent.

The Donald is popular because he says what he thinks, regardless if you agree with him or not. Same reason Palin is popular. It’s not rocket science.

I agree. They both speak out, they both are not wimps, they both show spunk and energy.

Yep - things that almost every other Republican pretender to the throne is too cowardly to say.
