Karl Rove: Let's Put Trump's Poll Numbers in 'Perspective'

Donald Trump's poll numbers are good, political analyst Karl Rove conceded Thursday, but he urged viewers to put the numbers into "a little bit of perspective."

"He has been in the race for six weeks,"..."He has had a good move up, a good bump up, but we've seen this before.

"Look, there will be a lot of movement in this race. It is really still early."

And even though Trump is topping the polls as far as Republicans who would support him, his favorability ratings are suffering, Rove said.

-snip-

However, pointed out Rove, "30 percent of the Republicans say they definitely will not vote for him," marking the highest percentage of voters who said they would not support a candidate.

"In a June 15 Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, 66 percent said they could not vote for him," said Rove. And when it comes to his honesty, 58 percent of those in the Quinnipiac poll said Trump is not trustworthy, he added.

"Trump has a high floor and a low ceiling," Rove said. "He has a lot of enthusiasm going or some enthusiasm going, but he has got a ceiling."

Rove is correct; perspective matters.

From this perspective...Rove Sucks.

However, from this other perspective...Rove Sucks.

We saw the test case in Ronald Reagan. They hated him too. George Bush was slotted for the 1980 election, and Reagan rained on their parade, BIG TIME.

The party can control a lot. If we’re talking Walker or Cruz, it could manipulate things, and I’m not saying that to put Walker or Cruz down. I’m just being frank about how I see it. The party can’t manipulate things after a populist has already ignited a bonfire of support across party, ethnic, and gender boundaries.

The GOPe is absolutely helpless at this point.

They know it too.

They will continue to prove it’s desperation time, but that’s their only contribution from here on out.

It’s actually over. If Trump wants it, the Presidency is his, for better or worse.

Says the guy who picked two consecutive losers . . . and barely won the previous two elections against opponents which were vapid (2004) and crazy (2000).

Rove works for The Cheap Labor Express.

It’s all about the amnesty and open border.

Dismiss everything he says.

Carl Rove is the man behind Donald Trump.

No, Carl doesn’t support him, but Carl destroyed the Republican party almost single-handedly, and brought us to the Point a Donald Trump was inevitable.

The Republican party still can’t grasp that. So they grasp at straws trying to trash Trump and make sense of it all.

There has been no common sense to any of the GOPe’s actions since around 1989.

GOPe, vacuums will always be filled. We tried to tell you.

Rove is a putz.

I have an idea - Let’s put Karl Rove in perspective. What is his win/loss ratio?

"Trump has a high floor and a low ceiling," Rove said. "He has a lot of enthusiasm going or some enthusiasm going, but he has got a ceiling."

Words fail me.

How many good conservatives did he fight against in 2008? 2010? 2012? 2014?

He's a slime-sucking, bottom-dwelling, scum-sucking, stab-in-the-back traitor.

Why are his ugly words on the internet? Why is his ugly face on the airwaves?

And McCain would win by 7 points (2011 prediction)
