Rove warns Senate GOP: Don't put only focus on base

Rove wants Republicans not to rely too much on the conservative base.

This is EXACTLY what produced Trump. Ignoring the Conservative base.

[2banana]

Rove - because he won so many elections...

[Mikemurphy]

Rove is a Rino. He was left by the Trump Party two years ago. He basks in the glory of the old days of Bush. THEY ARE GONE FOREVER Karl.

PUt this on one of your boards, Rove:

“GFY FatBoy”

[johnthebaptistmoore]

End All RINO Republicanism, asap! Please, and Thank You!

[Empire_of_Liberty]

If Rove got liposuction, he’d stop breathing. There’s only fat between his ears!

[Lurkinanloomin]

No one should pay any attention to Cheap Labor Express stooge Rove.

"Rove wants Republicans not to rely too much on the conservative base."

They've already tried that, and it wasn't very successful for them. They do so again at their own peril.

Rove forgets......Hillary was a shoo in....Every poll said so

Hillary forgot about the entire white working class.

Gee, I always wanted to find out what Rove would say now to undermine the first true MAGA leader since Reagan.

Now I want Rove to stick his thumb in his right ear and go bowling.
(tip o’ the hat to the late talk radio guy Joe Pine. His other rejoinder to liberal listeners: “Aw, go gargle with razor blades, moron.”)

[Bigtigermike]

Shut up Rove

[Jim Robinson]

Rove, the malignant dwarf never met a globalist RINO he didn’t like.

[Still Thinking]

Yeah, cause there isn’t an election Rove can’t win. Oh wait...

[SaveFerris]

[Rove, the malignant dwarf never met a globalist RINO he didn’t like.]

True. Whatever Rove says is best ignored.

[mrsmith]

Rove:
“Give me some money to get you to court internationalist donors!”

Or just: “Give me some money!”

[M Kehoe]

Rove! You magnificent asshole.

5.56mm

[Williams]

Screw him.

[yoe]

Mr. Rove is still an elitist, not with Americans who still believe in our Constitution, President Trump's base. Mr. Rove never excepted this:....

[Phlyer]

They've already tried that . . .

Rove is 100% invested in the "Demographics equals destiny" philosophy. He sees people being fully defined by - and only important by virtue of - the group they belong to. You have to "win" the group to win.

But identity politics is the Dims (= Socialists) only argument. And they will win it. The alternative (certainly not the Rove establishment Republicans) will win only by breaking down identity politics and showing voters how they are individually benefitted by something other than the nanny state.

Showing an individual benefit to those who actually work for a living ("Make America Great Again" instead of "Gimme stuff") Trump won. By appealing to the nanny state dependency groups, McCain and Romney lost against an abysmal candidate.

But Rove will continue to pull out polls that show this or that group identity will prefer a socialist approach. The only questions for him are: How fast should we drive over the cliff? How can we be the ones behind the wheel when we do?

When Karl Rove passes wind, no matter where he is, Mitt Romney wrinkles his nose.
