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.”

Elitist Rove has proven many times over that he’s taken far too many blows to the head.

His PAC has donated millions to get establishment RINO Lurch Strange elected over Moore.

Name sounds familiar. Isn’t this one and the same pundit who melted down (snowflake) the night of the Presidential Election when finding his perspective was totally bogus and the winning was accomplished by the OTHER TEAM of Liberals?
He knows no difference between his fantasy and the real world of Reality. Remember is ‘vacation’ shortly after and it was some time before he had the courage to show his face on air.

big flag on the field, Steelers 4 coaches on the field with their hands over their hearts. All Steeler players in tunnel not seen and then Villanueva outside of tunnel entrance standing alone with hand over heart...tons of photographers taking pics of him. That was very moving. Seemed to me that when the Steelers ran out they were being booed. That is what my family heard...booing of the players as they ran out.

Rove just wanted to call Trump a loser. He probably thinks that was cunning on his part.

“He ought to be an aspirational figure. He should not be a condemnatory figure.”

The billionaire owners are standing up for their millionaire players. I can understand that.

The President, as commander in chief, is standing up for service members who make a couple of thousand dollars per month. I can understand that.

Hopefully, the need for a boycott of all things NFL can help to unify this nation.

Rove has terrible political insticts

He was the one advising Bush II to NOT respond to the media attacks. You know, to remain "above the fray".

Imagine that!

Karl, you're an idiot

trump cant loose with calling out the owners and players in the NFL. there is a lot of anger built up over the years at the teams and this anger is not left right politics. it is the fact that the teams have shown no loyalty to the fan base with owners moving there teams or threatening to move there team if the local municipality does not pay for there stadiums. the other thing is the price of a super bowl ticket twelve dollars in 1967 (87 dollars in buying value today) todays cost is 1,325 dollars today) most fans cant afford to even think of buying a ticket. todays average price for tickets to a game is 172 dollars. most fans can only tune in on television and at this point they can tune out...

suggestion instead of an NFL game go to the local high school game support the ;ocal kids and still enjoy a football game.
