Karl Rove: Trump should be lowering expectations ahead of midterms, not talking about 'red wave'

Karl Rove has a good memory for yesterday's data. His problem is that he has never had the analytic power to understand the "whys" and "hows" of that data.

Trump plays for 100%. That’s why he’s PDJT. His method of mitigating loss is to try and win the whole shebang.

And who can forget Rove’s 2012 Election Night Meltdown?

This man is the personification of “Lowered Expectations.”

This coming from the guy who said Trump would never be elected.

Whew, he sure did. His usefulness, even in a good year, came to an end on the first Wednesday of November.

Isn’t this the same Karl Rove who talked about how he was all for Reagan back in 1980, and then it was discovered that he had actually been for GHWB instead?

Three months from tomorrow either Rove or the President is going to look very foolish.

I am imagining the demon spawn if Rove and Perino hooked up. It’s not pretty.

This is the same guy who night after night said that Trump had a high floor, low ceiling, that he would lose in the early primaries and drop out. Later he changed that to, he’ll never win the nomination. Then he changed it to he’ll never win the general election. So, wrong way Karl is predicting losing the house, I’d say that is a good indication that the gop holds the house, and gains seats in the senate.

My prediction is that black and Hispanic turnout will be lower than expected, and fewer whites will vote democrat now that the democrat party has officially become the anti-American, and anti-white party.

“Gloom, despair, and agony on me...” That’s the Karl Rove way.

Yup, that’s my worry too. But think most Trump supporters (me included) would literally crawl over broken glass to vote in the 2018 midterms.

Amend. Here’s the genius who was “the architect” of the 2000 loss of the popular vote. He’s the one who advised Bush not to sully the dignity of the office by responding to 5 years of getting his brains bashed in by the enemy press on the war, Katrina, etc. McCain was going to be a tough sell anyway, what with being such an agile and all, but Rove’s ineptness is what sealed the deal for us to get Obama. The other side are bare knuckled dirty fighters, and it’s good to have someone now who fights. No thanks to Rove

Mr. Rove -— Which one of your clients paid you to speak these words?
