Karl Rove on NFL Protests: Trump Will Be ‘Walking Away From This a Loser’
Breitbart.com ^ | 24 Sep 2017 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/24/2017 9:57:08 AM PDT by Rockitz

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” network contributor and Republican strategist Karl Rove discussed President Donald Trump criticism of NFL players for taking a knee during the national anthem at games.

According to Rove, Trump would be “walking away” from this controversy a “loser.”

...

“He could have come away from this the winner,” he continued. “But he is walking away from this a loser in the minds of the American people for exactly the reasons you pointed out. He was against the federal government interfering and telling the Washington Redskins what their name should be. Now he is saying fire those people if they do not stand and respect the flag. He ought to be an aspirational figure. He should not be a condemnatory figure.”

Here is a reason why Trump is in the White House and Karl Rove is on Fox News.

Seriously, what is up with them? I stopped going to their site at all after Andrew passed. Are they just playing the anti-establishment gig or are they getting petty with anti-Trump garbage too?

As for that weirdo rove, I’d look at how Bush is viewed and consider everything rove says to be utter bull****

We’ll see who wins this battle Rove. My money’s on Trump and the Americans who love this country.

Good grief! I might be a Trump skeptic (cheering enthusiastically when he veers into a conservative position, jeering when he reverts to his native New Yawk liberalism) but this is a BIG winner for him. Rove remains a numbskull. In the war with the NFL Trump will prevail and if they do not change their trajectory the NFL may cease to exist as a meaningful entity before the next election. I used to be a 20-hour-per weekend football fan, but these days it’s about 20 minutes a year. I am not sure I could even name a single player on the Redskins now.

Wow. What a complete, deluded idiot.

If he doesn’t see that the American people will be on Trump’s side on this, regardless of his own opinion... he’s just walking around with blinders on.

At least we know what Rush is going to be talking about for 2.45 hours tomorrow (with the other 15 minutes reserved for Lifelock ads). :-)

having Rove predict Trump losing to the NFL, makes me feel more confident that Trump will win.

Just read that they got booed when they came out.
Message received.

Nah. Message given. No hope of it being received. To them, everyone in the stands booing them is simply a white supremacist.

Given how politically tone-deaf Rove is, it’s not surprising that Bush took such a hit from Katrina and Bush’s amnesty, and the GOP got crushed in 2006. Rove’s whole shtick was ground game (GOTV), to the exclusion of issues that worked politically for the GOP. That is why both of Bush’s wins were so narrow.

Rove is now ever the looser[sic].

Like with his support of that strange guy in Ala.

Malcolm Jenkins of the Eagles didn’t take a knee before the Eagles’ game? He’s been one of the ring leaders of the protests.
