Top political strategist for George W. Bush, Karl Rove was unimpressed with a couple of debate performances from Thursday night, critiquing the style and tone of Donald Trump and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
-snip-
"If you like Trump, that's not going to necessarily turn you off but the issue is that 80% of the people are supporting somebody else," Rove said. "Language like that, attack on Megyn (Kelly, the Fox News debate moderator), his refusal to say I'm a team player -- all of those things create a ceiling on how far he could go, and I think we may actually see some diminution in support of the next couple of weeks."
With perhaps the exception of two people last night -- Trump and Paul -- Rove said he believes the rest of the GOP hopefuls "opened up opportunities for upward movement."

Maybe he us off somewhere getting his head polished.
A true pompous ass.
2005: “Rove, you magnificent bastard!”
2015: “Rove...you bastard.”
...
2016: “Rove...you tard.” :)
Hey Porky Pig, STFU you fat load!!
Awesome!
Speaking of four-letter words starting with ‘t’, Dubya affectionately refers to rove as the ‘turd blossom’, meaning he came from a crappy background, but he rose to such commanding heights. Now rove is just reverting to turd status.
I loved it and it expose that Krispy Kreme supports warrant less searches - Not Good. Good for Rand for exposing that Jelly Donut.
Agree - turd works just fine, too!
Thanks for the laugh!
IMO he is behind the Fox hit job on Trump.
Rove the dope on election night zippys second time around “we have it in the bag we win!” NOT! He is a bloviator!!!
And in typical Rove fashion, he missed the target and took out one of his own (Jeb Bush).
Karl who?
The exchange with Megan Kelly was no different than the trump we’ve already seen. The comment that could - and should - hurt him the most is his endorsement of the single-payer healthcare system in Canada - saying it works well for them. We’ve seen and read enough horror stories about what is going on up there posted right here on FR to know that is complete nonsense, and puts him in a corner if it were to become a campaign issue in the general election.
(no, I did not mean to lowercase Trump’s name)
Karl, you pathetic bastard. The race is split 17 ways right now and Trump has about 25% of the vote sewn up. That's a commanding lead in anyone's book.
Over the months ahead, candidates will drop like dominoes, and Trump's numbers will only rise in proportion, as will those of the remaining contenders.
This is grade school stuff, ya moron. Quit trying to spin simple arithmetic to look dismal for Trump, when the exact opposite is true.
Thank you for the uncontrollable belly laugh. That's the funniest thing I've read all day :-)
Go shove another donut down you face, Carl. You are rapidly becoming an irrelevant kiss-up.
Dear Karl, go eat another cheeseburger and call the Bush family! They’ll tell you how wonderful you are!
