In remarks on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” the former adviser to President George W. Bush said that “when you are in the barrel, you need to do something that says you are moving in a different direction.” “You have to do something that's big and grab the attention of the American people. It's a big new policy or a change in direction,” he said. Rove said successful reelection campaigns in the modern era — Bill Clinton in 1996, Bush in 2004 and a Barack Obama in 2012 — all said, ‘Here's what I've been doing.’ But all of them also said: ‘Here's the second act. Here's what I want to do in the coming four years.’” “The third thing that they would do in those speeches is say, Hhere’s a contrast between me and my opponent,’” Rove said. “The president needs to be ready by the time he appears in the national convention … to accept the nomination of his party. He has to have a bold agenda that he lays out for the second term and that he can contrast with Joe Biden.”

Barak Obama had a second term goal: “In my first term, I sang Al Green; in my second term, I’m going with Young Jeezy.” Trump’s should be - Release the Kraken!

Rove needs to “SHUTUP AND LEARN”.

Trump’s GOT this, thanks, Karl.

Karl is the chubby cheeked pup.

I think getting rid of the lockdown would be a winner. No more restrictions on church services, no more masks, business as usual...he needs to get out there with real facts and show how manipulated and artificial this panic is and how disastrous its results have been.

Granted, it’s his responsibility for having let Fauci take over the country and empower the Dem and RINO governors and mayors. But that’s water under the bridge and now we’ve got to find a way back to sanity - and prosperity.

Rush said the same thing, so it's not original.

Mr. President, if I may:

1. Reform education to Classic Americanism or no public funds; based on pure merit.

2. Reform the militia by sending it 100% back to the states and ask the states to make it statutory and compulsory like it was at our founding, striking down the 1903 Dick Act: then get rid of Homeland Security, ATF, FEMA for starters.

3. Put a HOV lane in for the Death Penalty. Send a signal by signing the warrants of those in Leavenworth. All of them.

4. Mandatory 20-year prison terms for sedition. 20 sounds about right; in line with RICO.

5. Death Penalty for coup attempts. Even bloodless coup attempts: the "Strike at the King, you had Better Hit Him Act."

6. Constitutional amendment where no one may be penalized for the sins of the past.

7. Establish and agency to send malcontents to other countries, stripping them of citizenship, under State Department. Hello Liberia.

“Plenty of time. Today is for base.”

Yes.

President Trump needs to spell out a second-term agenda, but he has ample time.

Public Hangings for those that commit Treason would be a winner.

Rove needs to be shown the door.

I Agree.

Rove is advising a guy who had a Network Nationwide TV show that was in the TOP TEN RATINGS for most of the 13 years it was on the air.

I would say Trump KNOWS how to work the crowd and keep the show going WITHOUT ADVICE from GOOFY ROVE.

You are sooo right.

PDJT does NOT need a Second Act. This is not a Broadway Play, you idiot, Rove.

Stay out of the White House, you Robot.
