KARL ROVE: Donald Trump Is Discrediting The Entire Republican Party
Business Insider ^ | March 31, 2011 | Steven Loeb

Posted on 03/31/2011 9:06:56 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

"The right wing base of the Republican party, I'm part of that right wing base, is not in love with the issue of birthers. I mean, there is an element inside the Republican party, and outside the Republican party, that's fallen in love with this but the majority of Republicans and the vast majority of Americans accept is he a U.S. citizen capable of being president."

(snip)

"You know, the troubling thing in the interview tonight was he said as time has gone on here, over the last couple of weeks, he has become more interested and more believing in the issue. You know, when he first brought it up, he said 'of course I accept that he's a citizen. He ought to just release the, release his birth certificate.' Different tone tonight. This is a mistake. It will marginalize him and he's falling into Barack Obama's trap. Barack Obama wants Republicans to fall into this trap because he knows it discredits us with the vast majority of the American people when they do."

Wow, if Karl Rove reads this thread, he will think he is back in junior high getting a royal swirly every day.

If Rove dislikes Trump, that is a good thing . . . for Trump.

Rove’s lagacy is this: The first political advisor in US history to convince his candidate (Bush) NOT to fight back against his enemies (Nu-Tone). Rove is a birther - he gave birth to Obama’s Presidency!

Karl,
You may be ducking the real issue, but we are NOT.

A Natural Born Citizen is one born under the SOLE JURISDICTION of the United States.

How can a man born under the British Nationality Act of 1948 be a Natural Born Citizen of the United States?

Answer: HE CAN'T.

Natural Born Citizen = Born under the dole jurisdiction of the United States = Born to two parents who are citizens + Born on our soil.

There is NO other nation's citizenship involved here, and THAT is the conditions that the Founders CHOSE for POTUS qualification.

Obama does not, never did, and never COULD fall under this classification of Citizen, and he knows it!

So he waves his birth certificate around like it matters.... trusting that the American people will stupidly follow that red-bull-cape around... and golly, looks like many are doing just that.

Natural Born Citizen = Born under the Sole Jurisdiction of the United States.

Obama is an Usurper.

Karl “amnesty” Rove can’t seem to keep his big fat mouth shut, imagine he considers himself right wing..ROFLMAO...

Maybe Rove should look at the polls of Repuiblicans and how many think Obie is an illegal, or is he ignoring them like he did on amnesty..another guy who thinks he knows what is best for the little people. If he had raised the question before we might not have had two years of this unlawful commie dictator xx xxxx xxxxxxxx KR and the horse you rode in on.

The Republican party is dying and Rove is one of the reasons.

Trump has a strong identity apart from the Republican Party. He speaks his mind and bears the brunt just fine.
Rove is wrong.

I’m glad Trump is putting pressure on Obama and continuing to point out that O has failed to disclose anything.

He may purport to speak for the “republican party” but he sure doesn’t speak for Conservatism!

<><><><><

since you kind of raised the issue, do you want Trump speaking for conservatism?

Karl Rove is a first class chump ... a pontificating wind bag.
If Trump is becoming more strident in his tone it's because the more you delve into the issue of Obama's eligibility the more convinced you are he is a fraud. Having said that, I don't go the birther route because I firmly believe BHO doesn't qualify for the presidency because BHO Sr. was a foreign born national ... never a U.S. citizen. So it doesn't matter where he was born ... he could have been born in the Lincoln bedroom at the WH ... he doesn't qualify. Then there's the issue of Obama's SS# being fraudulent, and the fact it's highly likely he enrolled at Occidental college as a foreign student. The list goes on ...

Karl Rove, the 2012 Establishment GOP candidate facilitator.

He’ll do anything to get his clients elected.

Karl hasn’t been the same since his ruling class buddy Mike Castle lost in Delaware.

“I’m part of that right wing base...”

I believe that is what is known as “a howler”. Thanks for the laugh, Karl.

IMO, John McCain did more to discredit the GOP than anyone.
