Karl Rove: Trump's Got a 'Thin Skin'
NewsMax ^ | April 21, 2011 | Hiram Reisner

Posted on 04/22/2011 6:37:14 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Republican strategist Karl Rove says President Barack Obama is taking delight in the fact that Donald Trump is pressing so hard for him to produce his birth certificate, “because that’s exactly what Obama wants conservatives to do.” Speaking to Sean Hannity Thursday on his radio show, Rove also questioned Trump’s conservative credentials.

Hannity started the interview by asking Rove why he was going after Trump.

“Well, I think Trump’s got a thin skin — I don’t think I’m going after Trump,” Rove said. “A guy who says that he doesn’t know what Ronald Reagan is hiding behind his smile, and calls George W. Bush an evil president, comes out for Canadian-style universal healthcare in his book, he calls for raising taxes on millionaires and the wealthy — I mean, not exactly a strong conservative.

“Well, look, I thought he had a shot if he came out as a successful businessman, and said I am worried about jobs, the economy, the deficit, debt, spending,” Rove continued. “But he came out and said: I think Obama was born in the United States [but] began review of his birth certificate — and then he became more paranoid and obsessive since then.

“Now he has sent his private investigators to Honolulu, and says he doesn’t think Obama was born in the United States of America — that’s exactly what Obama wants conservatives to do,” he added. “The constitutional requirement is that you have to be a United States citizen, and by implying, saying, suggesting Obama is not a United States citizen, he is suggesting he was born somewhere else.”

I don’t know if Trump has thin skin but I know Rove has a pumpkin head.

He sounds even more idiotic when he claims to know what the golfer in chief is ‘really’ doing. Do they share the same mind? If so, he has no business claiming to be any Republican, let alone THE Republican.

Donald Trump

born June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, NY (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

To paraphrase Rove, ‘if I take your money and turn around and betray you and that bothers you, it’s only because you’re too sensitive about these kinds of things.’

Carl Rove DID indeed destroy the GOP.

Every time I see and hear this @$$ on FOX news or his side-kick Dana Perino, I get ticked off.

The Bush Klan and their Mexiophilic, spending policies helped pave the way for the Marxist Muslim in the White House.

I would LOVE to see Trump RUN, get ELECTED, and then tell Rove, “You’re FIRED!!!!!”.

“because that’s exactly what Obama wants conservatives to do.”

First thought...so? That's exactly what conservatives want the Obammunist to do also. Produce the friggin' birth certificate, and if nothing's there, fine.

Second thought...STFU Rove, you Pillsbury doughboy-lookin' liberal stooge. FU and the limo that brought you to town. Who the hell are you to judge who's a "strong conservative"? You wouldn't know a strong conservative if he kicked your pasty white a**.

Damn, I'm sick of RINOs!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

No, Karl Rove, you idiot

Obama takes delight in the anti-Birthers attacking their core base. Obama knows that idiots and Liberals, like you Karl Rove, are helping Obama for 2012

Do you think Obama wants a campaign filled with questions about his eligibility?

Obama is laughing at the GOP anti-Birthers....like Rove, Rush, Levin, Beck, Coulter, Romney, etc.... Every one of these anti-Birthers are helping Obama in 2012. Every time an anti-Birther attacks a Birther, or any politician raising the issue...Obama and his minions are smiling

I Am Birther. Karl Rove, you are an idiot

Great post....except for Trump getting elected. I like what he’s doing now, but I don’t trust him to nominate conservatives to the Supreme Court.

Thank you Karl for weakening Bush-43 so bad, we ended up with a Kenyan socialist in WH. Go home, you are irrelevant.

Rove deserves your animus, certainly.

But is Trump a proper object for your affection?

His conservatism is of a later vintage and even less convincing than Romney's.

Are you absolutely certain he's not the next Perot?

If it ends up Obama Vs. Trump, I would prefer justices Trump would appoint over Obama.
