Republican strategist Karl Rove said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that President Donald Trump will be convinced in the Senate with Republicans voting for impeachment if his defense is there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says that he is keeping an open mind about the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, a big difference, sharp difference, from his clear opposition from the very start of the first impeachment trial just a year ago. What do you think, Karl, are the chances that 17 Senate Republicans, and that’s what it would take if all of the Democrats vote for conviction, 17 Senate Republicans would vote to convict Donald Trump and to keep them from running again?”
Rove said, “Normally we say not much chance, but I think Leader McConnell’s statement is a sign that every Republican Senator needs to take this seriously. I think it’s all going to boil down what’s the president’s defense. Rudy Giuliani charted a very bad course for the president in the morning papers when he suggested that the argument was going to be in there couldn’t have been incitement because all the charges of widespread voter fraud are true. Well, those charges and the so-called experts that the campaign has mustered to advocate them have been rejected by over 50 courts with judges appointed by President Trump, President Obama, Present Bush, President Clinton, and I think even one Reagan justice. So if it’s the Rudy Giuliani defense,

The challenge to electors was the perfectly Constitutional process which the demonstrators interrupted. After the riot, Congress continued with that legal process.
So Trump would be convicted for defending his rights?
Rove fights Trump harder than he ever fought a Democrat. The GOP desperately does not want to litigate the stolen election because they certified it to the tune of 93-7 in the Senate.
Boyoboyo, this is going to look good in the future. Both dysfunctional parties gang up on Trump to remove him from office... because he told the truth, and the election WAS stolen.
How hard is it to open your eyes, and just review the evidence? Had any of these fools done so, we would be having a different narrative now. Or maybe I give them too much credit, as recognizing the truth would also recognize Democrat/Marxist guilt in the whole affair. I will not be holding my breath.
there is ZERO chance of 17 Republican Senators voting to convict.
ZERO
Heck, they didn’t even get 17 Republican HOUSE members!
Run ROVE out of town, TAR and FEATHER his fat useless ass!
Have any of these efftards in the GOP lile the canned ham Rive even watched the countless olyours of testimony from sworn witnesses since November? These aren’t CLAIMS of election fraud, they are EVIDENCE!
It was Karen's emphasis on Christian ideals that resonated with Republicans and the reason why people were happy to vote for Bush.
Rove is a scheming windbag. And that is why she left the administration.
PS Since when is demanding a genuine meaningful thorough independent audit - what in plain English is called an audit - an impeachable offense or even evidence of a moral deficiency on the part of the requestor. An accounting is a common law right whenever there are a series of complex transaction that materially affect an individiual.
He’s a Bushie....enough said.
F*** you Rove.
Rove is thick.
“Fatty, hold up your chins, both of them!”
Nope. I predict all the establishment globalists/neocons will coalesce behind Nikki Haley.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The GOP Senate certified the stolen election. They’ve got a lot more skin the game here than the minority GOP House.
Tokoyo Rove.
New Party time...
Nope. I predict all the establishment globalists/neocons will coalesce behind Nikki Haley.
Cruz hired Neil Bush when his campaign was broke. The GOPe is fine with anybody but Trump.
Dear little mr. rove you can pretend all you want and use your imagination all you want. Keep telling yourself there was no fraud, cheating and underhandness....I will always know in my heat the truth that there was. I will die knowing it was stolen.
Just remember Rove when the Republican Senate votes not to convict if it comes to that, it will only be to try to save their own sorry asses!
Can he disprove all of the depositions? Rove statements are unsubstantiated. He should be banned.
