Karl Rove on how Donald Trump's birther obsession hurt his presidency chances, Obama's Paul Ryan fixation and 'hot mic' comments and more.

[MetaThought]

1. People don’t vote for candidates that are considered “kooky”. Right or wrong, constitutional or not. For instance another “kooky” yet constitutional position is the repeal of all drug laws.

2. It’s perfectly likely that Trump will split the conservative faction, handing the nomination to say Romney.

Karl Rove should know clowns , he is one.

Hey Mr. Potato head Trump is on top of the polls dunce.

[VideoDoctor]

Mister Rove... PLEASE get your head out of your A$$ and get OFF the stage.

If Rove the country-club globalist RINO doesn’t like someone, that’s not a bad thing.

Who you gonna believe, Karl Rove, the architect of Bush’s submission, or your lying eyes?

Our eyes lie! /sarc

Karl rove is such a corporate muppet.

More like a transnational Teletubbie.

I wouldn’t vote for Trump in the R primary, but I sure as hell would vote for him over one big ass mistake america...

[screaminsunshine]

That is it. An anti-Rove candidate. I am sick of these political whiz-kids. I won’t back Trump the shyster but I am going back to the good ole loser Ron Paul. It is a lot more fun. I always enjoy the RP campaign.

The left spends a lot of time brow-beating the right into not discussing things they don’t want discussed...like the birther issue, or the C word (communist.) However, they are completely flummoxed and unable to respond when someone “goes there” anyway and they have no more arguments. Reagan had it and Trump has it.

Romney is not a Natural Born Citizen.

Somebody should ask Rove, if Trump is such a joke candidate what does it say about the rest of the Republican candidates that he is sitting at or near the top in most polls? I am taking a wait and see approach to Trump, time will tell if his popularity is lasting or if he spikes and flames out in a couple months.

As for Rove, he is bought and paid for by the Bush family. I am convinced that they are planning to toss Jeb Bushs hat in the ring late in the debate season once most of the candidates are beaten and bloody. Rove has even floated Jeb's name a couple times on Fox as a potential candidate. I think they had planned to run him in '08, but realized the Bush name was toxic at that point. But I am positive they will run him in either '12 or '16.

Another point to Trump ... if Rove* dislikes him, that's good enough.

*Wonder if he is still dating Jeff Gannon?

Obama doesn't think Trump is a joke, Karl.

Obama doesn't seem to be fretting too much over the attacks launched by the Tim Pawlenty's in the field.

[plain talk]

Incredible. Compared to Donald Trump Karl Rove is a saint.

You may not like Trump and that is fine but you really show the lack of a clue when you call him a moron.
