Karl Rove to Newsmax: Trump Needs to Quit Calling Foes 'Clowns and Morons'
Newsmax ^ | 11/25/15 | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 11/28/2015 9:03:48 AM PST by jimbo123

Karl Rove says Donald Trump may very well win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

But the influential GOP consultant and policy adviser, in an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV, adds the billionaire developer's acidic attacks on his fellow candidates could hurt his chances.

"He's taken the lead - took the lead in July and held it. He's got a chance to win the nomination," Rove said Wednesday on "Newsmax Prime" with J.D. Hayworth.

"His challenge is, he's created a high floor, but a low ceiling. It's sort of hard to grow when you've taken on the habit of excoriating everybody else in the race calling them 'losers' and 'clowns' and 'morons' and personally belittling them."

“FIRST THING President Trump does is send Rove back to Texas.”

Why punish Texas?

Send Rove to Mexico along with Yeb.

Trumps Sarasota rally today was his best ever. See it if you get a chance. It was electric and so was the giant crowd!

Clowns and morons?

Funny thing is, that’s precisely what the GOPe has been calling true conservatives in the party. I guess it’s okay to do it if you’re with the Establishment. /Sarc

You are most welcome. I watched that and I was so pumped like the people who were there. He hit on all the right notes and did not spend a lot of time knocking people. Well he did a little, but not a lot!

A couple of days rest is a good thing I would say!

I don’t either, but that crowd was as good as he was. I don’t know how they did it. I guess they are looking to see the country recover from Obama blight. I really liked it when Trump kept telling us how much he loves America. I do too!

Put my vote down for doing exactly the opposite anything Rove says. Another example of the flak telling you that you’re over the target.

Karl Rove is like Michigan football playing Ohio State. Neither has won a damned thing in over twelve years.

Republican strategist Karl Rove refers to Bush as the “deepest thinker on our side.”

The porky imbecile went on to actually sing, “Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am—stuck in the middle with Yeb.”

You’re suggesting that Donald Trump kowtow to the scumbags in the media.

Not going to happen.

And if by fantasy he did, his ratings would slip into Pataki Land.
