Karl Rove on Trump, first GOP debate: ‘I would show up if I were him
The Hill ^ | 08/17/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

Posted on 08/17/2023 2:18:51 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

RE: I bet Karl has a Target logo on the back of his underwear.

1) I’m again glad gambling is illegal at FR Bushwood.

2) Verifying the bet result would be much too close to that crack problem we keep hearing about.

Happened to many. I remember you got banned if you talked bad about Romney. McCain too most likely.

Karl, Karl, Karl. What would be the advantage to Donald Trump to show up at the debate?

Front-runners NEVER benefit by showing up to be the target.

But you knew that.

Besides the “show trial” being put on elsewhere will probably vastly diminish the TV audience for the debate. Even it it is entirely bogus.

Spoil alert - the “show trial” has every prospect of being demolished as the Kabuki theater it is.

Karl Rove lost touch with American politics 20 years ago. He wanders around the political landscape like a pundit version of Don Quixote!

The only time Trump should consider debating his GOP challengers is after the field has been whittled down to 1 or 2 others, and even then it might not be a good idea.

Now Trump can be confident he’s doing the right thing by not going.

Moderator McAllum has already said her questions will be about Trump’s criminal acts, so why even bother showing up?

China, inflation, racism, failed schools, losing wars, bribes, why talk about that when she and slimebag Baire are going to spend two hours slammingTrump?
