Karl Rove:
“We’ve had a summer of silliness. We may have a fall of silliness. Remember at this point in 2011 the leader in the Republican pack was Rick Perry, the governor of Texas. After that we had Herman Cain and former speaker Newt Gingrich. Both of them jumped to the lead. You can say it’s a summer of silliness. But my sense is we’re likely to see this thing come and go and other faces emerge.“
Needless to say, Karl Rove is not a Trump fan. He continually bashes The Donald with each appearance on FOX News.

I agree.
That shows that he is an ideologue not a pragmatist.
If Rove was a pragmatist looking for a win as opposed to pushing his ideology he would have latched on to conservatives.
Republican thinking about conservatives has been "In the end conservatives will vote for us because they have no where else to go."
But the opposite would also be true.
Even with a conservative running at the top of the ticket Old line republicans would still vote the party line on election day because they hane no where else to go.
The myth of the “architect” is just that.
Bush just barely won in 2000 and if it wasn’t for the Swift Boaters in 2004, it would have been president Kerry.
Who actually listens to Karl Rove? Karl Rove.
“We’ve had a summer of silliness.And much to your dismay Karl, we're loving it after the decade of gloom you lying bastards brought.
The only way Jebba the Hut could get some energy would be for Rove to shove a 110 volt line up his @ss. Last time I hear Jebba speak I feel off my bar stool as I feel asleep.
Right. You’re finished Karl. Better get used to it.
Karl Rove is old news.....he’s a Bush guy 100%....We do NOT need another Bush or Clinton.
I’d rather have a Summer and Fall of “silliness” than have a whole life of jerkidness like Rove has.
Trump owes his success to Rove. Keep on spouting your GOPe crap Karl. You are beyond your usefulness and should shut your pie hole.
I did not read to the end of this thread before posting and therefor had not seen your post. Great minds must think alike.
3.) Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7 core principles:
a. American interests come first. Always. No apologies.
b. Maximum firepower and military preparedness.
c. Only go to war to win.
d. Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.
e. Keep the technological sword razor sharp.
f.See the unseen. Prepare for threats before they materialize.
g. Respect and support our present and past warriors.
4.) Trump believes that captured terrorists should be treated as military combatants, not as criminals, which is the treatment they receive from the Obama administration.
5.) Trump makes the point that China’s manipulation of its currency has given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them. He says we must tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will cause American companies to be competitive again, drive manufacturing back to America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the biggest offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all foreign efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing. For example, Ford is building a plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle Ford makes there be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S. This would cause companies like Ford to no longer be competitive when using their Mexican operations. They would therefore move manufacturing back to the U. S. where jobs would once again be created.
6.) Trump favors passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act – NOPEC – S.394), which would allow the government to sue OPEC for violating antitrust laws. According to Trump, that would break up the cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill domestically (sound like Sarah Palin’s drill baby, drill?) thereby increasing domestic production, creating jobs and driving domestic costs of oil and gas down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.
7.) Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and prosperity in America. He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from entering and help put controls on immigration. (And he says he’ll get Mexico to pay for the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business successes I wouldn’t put it past him.) He also wants to enforce our immigration laws and provide no path to citizenship for illegals other than that which is currently included in the law.
8.) Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money would do wonders for our economy. He wants to make America the place to do business. He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on capital gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back into the economy and help replace the 1.5 million jobs we’ve lost to the current tax system.

Rove is one of those old school GOPe elites who just don’t realize they’re dead yet.
“As other faces emerge”
Like who? Mitt?
Yes, please.
bttt
American interests come first. Always. No apologies.
I Wholeheartedly agree. However we really have to determine what we mean by America and her interests. Right now, we have a rogue Federal government that does not represent the people and their interests. Even if we get a good chief executive, most of the bureaucracy (domestic and foreign bureaus) has been infiltrated by Muslims and communists. Right now we have a chief executive that arguably is both a communist and Muslim. Before we make any new overseas commitments, we really need to root these hostile internal forces and this will take some time or a re-boot the constitution via article 5.
Jeb’s guy....
I’d vote “like” for that idea.
