Trump: ‘Karl Rove basically is a loser’
Daily Caller ^ | 11-6-11 | By Alexis Levinson

Posted on 12/06/2011 12:01:10 AM PST by Mozilla

In response to comments from Karl Rove that candidates should skip the debate at the end of December to be moderated by Donald Trump, Trump said that in his opinion Rove was “highly overrated,” and “basically is a loser.” Rove says that a Trump-moderated debate would trivialize the process

“I don’t think that Karl Rove is a smart person. I think he’s highly overrated,” said Trump, on a conference call about his new book. “I’ve watched Karl Rove for years. He’s a man who is only after Karl Rove, and he’s part of the problem with the Republican Party.

Rove, he said, “did such a bad job with Bush in that final period of time that no Republican could have possibly beaten Obama or any other Democrat.”

I don’t really know what Trump’s game is or who he’s really working for but I’m no fan of Rove’s either.

Anything to piss off ROVE, who was part of the Wurlitzer effort (repeating the same thing as liberal POLITICO) to get his enemy Herman Cain out of the race.

The problem with Trump is although he occasionally lands a very good right hook, as you say, you are never sure when he is going to start swinging a LEFT hook.

Trumps game is himself, he doesn't "work" for anyone (and apparently not even his shareholders). There is no higher power with him, the upside of that, is that he is free to say whatever he wants, whenever he wants and get away with things.

The downside, is that Trump is no conservative either, he may not like Rove, but make no mistake, he isn't that different in that he is always always after his own agenda.......

Trump is a fool; Rove was the ‘magnificient bastard’ time and time yet again.

Well just looking at Roves achievements since ‘04, they are pretty thin. Loser seems apt.

Sometimes I love the stuff that comes out of Trump’s mouth—he can see through all the garbage and get to the fact of the matter. He really understands psychology, also.

He is applying psychological warfare-—exactly how the Leftists fight. Good for him.

Ah, as the ol' Arab saw goes: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," applies here and that inside the beltway, pseudo-intellectual, Elitist, RINO, Scumbag, Rove IS our (Conservatives') enemy.

He never met a Con he didn't abhor and is a chartered member in good standing of the Washington Establishment Republican Class who are more concerned with the status quo than EVER working towards the election of a Con as those A-Holes know they can not "control" such a person and said person is apt to upset their little "apple cart."

They are all part and parcel of the "Can't we jist' all git' along" (Rats and Republi-Tards) who believe in "Compromise" and "Crossing the aisle" to work with the opposing party, no matter what the outcome or consequences.

Trump is only in it for himself, just like Obama. Trump is just a whit (well, whiter) version of Obama. He has no ideology, except Trumpism (just like Obama), no political experience (just like Obama, only is interested in the end game and how it benefits him (just like Obama. How someone can hate Obama and triumph Trump is beyond me. They both are the same. One claims to be conservative, one claims to be liberal. They both are liars. To promote Trump is no better than backing Obama. Do not let your desire to have victory over ride your principles.

Even though, a victory by Trump would probably result in the end of our electoral party system. After yet finishes off what Obama started, no one would ever trust any political party again.

I believe it's time people started to realize that Bush won despite Karl Rove and not because of him.
