Donald Trump fired back at Karl Rove on Tuesday for labeling his possible White House bid a “joke,” saying the one-time senior adviser to President George W. Bush “should be ashamed of himself” for the role he played in pushing an agenda that turned voters against Republicans and paved the way for the Obama presidency.
Mr. Trump, the billionaire real estate developer and reality-TV-show star still weighing a 2012 race, said in an interview that the Republican brand was so tarnished after the Bush-Rove years that even “Abraham Lincoln couldn’t have beaten” President Obama in the 2008 presidential race.
“Honestly, Karl Rove ought to go back and start thinking about other things because what he did is, he gave us, indirectly through President Bush, he gave us Barack Obama,” Mr. Trump said in an interview on The Washington Times-affiliated “America's Morning News” radio show. “In all fairness to [Arizona Sen.] John McCain, nobody could have won that election because of what happened with Rove’s policies or Bush’s policies.”
In the wide-ranging interview, Mr. Trump also came out strongly against raising the federal debt ceiling, saying the debate over whether to raise the government’s borrowing limit was “the strongest negotiating point the Republicans have.”

Chuckle!....
It's his brain power I'm referring to, and methinks aside from your clear superior knowledge about gay culture yours is about the same.
Have fun giggling with each other...... oops, does that mean something too?
The more I see Trump stories on FR the more I become convinced that there are Trump operatives reading this site to give Trump fodder.
He just keeps bouncing back better each time. The GOP has lacked that kind of vigor for decades.

Gay culture? Try American language usage.
I do not for one second believe that you did not know the only common meaning of what you called the other freeper.
I do believe that you lack the character to apologize for it.
Ditto. This is why Trump will be popular. Trump is no deer in the headlights guy and will defend himself. Was it Rove that had Bush remain silent to every criticism?
You're obviously dumb enough to.......
How would Trump handle a debate with Palin...gloves off or on?
Absolutely.
LLS
As horrid as Rove was/is, it can’t be forgotten that soros spent some 10 million to spread his own lies and filth regarding GWB.
I think Trump is actually a Republican plant, chewing up the path for whomever chooses to follow. Just my own sense of what is going on under the radar. Time will tell.

Hopefully Trump would treat her like anyone else. Palin has to make her case like anyone else.
ROTFLMAO! I'd say a "high colonic with cayenne pepper".
Don’t forget the Bush/Rove shameful nauseating push for amnesty either.
Bush and Rove never spent one second securing our borders while pushing “national security”. What a joke.
Not to mention Americans who were against amnesty and tired of the reconquista were labeled and insulted.
Bush totally lost me on that one
Next question, George. George, NEXT QUESTION.
He's at least giving lessons to anyone who cares to learn, on how to handle the media.
re “Looks like Trump pretty much nailed Rove”.
It’s about time Somebody did! Rove seems to think he’s still running the “Good Old Boys Club”. People are getting tired of him for always putting in his 2 cents worth of derogatory comments over every other Republican, Independent, or Tea Party Candidate who even thinks of running for Office.
