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.”

Rove is the Mr McGoo of politics; going the wrong way every time.

Trump will win big here. If a pol criticizes Trump over this, Trump will can easily pull out the patriotism card which is still stronger than the race card or the PC card etc. if someone comes out in support of the NFL; he will say that he is taking a knee on the country. The media hypocrites will predictably cry free speech and Trump can say, sure, they can have free speech to empty stadiums! Trump can put the media on the defensive which is always a good thing.

Trump is not making any policy here; he’s simply using the bully pulpit very shrewdly and his enemies hate it.

“Rove makes a living being wrong.”

Since the Bush years has Rove consulted on any successful election campaigns?

Take a knee is about free speech. Free speech at empty stadiums!

Hmmmm, imagine that. A real LOSER calling our President a loser? I knew Porky Pig hated Trump but I never realized how much until now.

Since when did Breitbart think that Rovio had anything of value to report on?

Good point.

The media is trying to frame this as Donald Trump versus some poor protesting game players. It’s not about Trump. It is about respecting those who put their lives on the line each and every day to serve their nation. It is about the sacrifices of their families and children.

They just write this stuff because they know I’ll post it to FR where Rove will be beaten mercilessly. It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship that serves both of us. ;o)

You defame both fat AND traitor by comparing them to Karl Rove.

Mr. Whiteboard has a deep and devious affinity for the Establishment, and he dresses it up as being a “conservative”, when it is nothing of the kind.

Professor Bunsen Honeydew has seen a LOT of his “great inspirations” kind of blow up and swiftly get out of hand.

I don’t think so, Karl. It’s about time some ADULT said that.

Remember Saint Mario? One speech, and he was a genius, regardless of the damage and corruption he wished upon NYS.

This is the same guy who predicted Trump would walk away from Election 2016 a loser.
