I’m not a big fan of Karl Rove’s but after listening to him tonight on “The Factor” I must admit that I agree with Karl Rove:

1. The birth certificate issue that Trump is trumpetting is a non-starter with most Americans. With the unemployment rate at close to 10% and gasoline prices at close to $4 per gallon there are substantive issues to use in the 2011 election against 0bama. The unemployed and those who can’t afford groceries and gasoline simply don’t care about the president’s birth certificate.

2. Trump says he is going to force China to raise the value of their yuan by taxing Chinese goods by 25%. He’s nuts!!! We need the Chinese to buy our treasury bonds. If Trump were to try putting the squeeze on China, they’ll react by dumping our bonds on the market.

3 Trump thinks we should just go in and “take” Iraq’s oil. We saw ghow the Iraqi’s fought a guerilla war against the US from 2004 until the surge in 2007. It would be the same thing all over again (roadside bombings, oil pipeline explosions, suicide bombings) if we tried to do it again. And does he think the world is just going to stand by and
let” the US take Iraq’s oil. China already has oil contract’s going in iraq and will strongly defend those contracts.

Donald Trump is a buffoon...a rich buffoon, but a buffoon nonetheless.

Hey does Karl Rove pay overtime for late night Internet astroturfing?

They can't. There is no one to take them. China is more vulnerable than we are on the T-bills they hold.

Wow! Thus far, just one single voice of reason on this thread. I’m baffled by the anti-Rove comments in light of the fact that Rove is correct about Trump.
