Republican strategist and Fox News contributor Karl Rove suggested former President Trump should show up to the first GOP debate, which he has floated the idea of skipping.
Fox News’s Bill Hemmer asked Rove whether he would attend the first Republican debate next week if he were Trump, who has yet to announce whether he will attend. Rove said he would, noting that Trump will still face some problems if he shows up.
“There are dangers … if he shows up, he will be attacked by everybody in one way, shape or form,” he said on “America’s Newsroom.”
He said some GOP candidates, like former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, will be “hard” and “direct” when attacking Trump while others will try to “move around him.”

I would not show up.
Let Christie, Pence, Haley and Ronny duke it out.
Trump gains noting from this Faux Clown Car Circus.
How does one get a job as a “talking head” or “Policy expert” ??? You don’t even have to be right 50% of the time.
Why would Trump bother showing up? He will have to spend the entire time defending himself instead of talking about what policies he wants to put forward. He is the only one that will get ratings so he would only be helping out the other candidates if he shows up. Without Trump no one will watch the debate.
Fat *rick.
When your enemy is suggesting you do something, do the opposite!
Well since Karl has a 100% rate of being wrong about everything its best to always do the opposite of what he recommends.
He also works for Fox News and has a monetary stake in booking Trump because with out him on stage the ratings will stink.
*"Red" Neckerson
Karl Rove says exactly like what we would expect from anyone being employed by FOX NEWS.
This should remove any lingering doubt in PDJT’s mind about whether he ought to participate in the first 2 Fox debates.
No need to subject himself to these unnecessary amBUSHES!!!
Trump shouldn’t go. Why should he show up and let all the five-percenters go after him. Let the field winnow itself down first.
Karl, last time I checked you were not him…….
WWG1WGA!
“No health food bars and iced tea.”
Lol - he and DJT have that in common.
Rove was the dude who decided to lie and say we didn’t find the uranium yellowcake while we were simultaneously shipping it to the US via Canada, lie and say we never found chemical weapons when several found us as IED’s and the like.
Don’t know what his “strategery” was, but that was completely retarded.
Annnnd, he’s a “yay illegals” rino bugchaser.
I’ve read some allegations about ol’ “Turd Blossom”. Didn’t he get a divorce a while back?
The debates are a waste of time. Trump is going to be the nominee.
I bet Karl has a Target logo on the back of his underwear.
It's because he wasn't there, yet that is all the other candidates talked about for 2 hours!
Even his husband couldn’t stand him?
“I remember when Karl was labeled a genius around here”
I think the official term was “Rove, you magnificent bastard!”
All of his clothes are tuck friendly.
FU Karl Rove SCUM!!!
