Donald Trump attacked veteran Republican strategist Karl Rove on Thursday, describing the man who advised his 2020 campaign as a traitor to his party and 'a pompous fool'.

Rove. who served as George W. Bush's chief strategist, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, criticizing Trump's CPAC performance on Sunday and calling on him not to run in 2024.

Trump hit back the next day, calling Rove a 'RINO' - Republican In Name Only.

Yes, and

Karl Rove is like a food taster of all-you-can-eat buffets.

I'd say pound-for-pound, our greatest American RINO.

Well, there is Mitt Romney...

...and the new 'Hindenburg' line.



Watch my sandwich...

Rove replied: ‘I’ve been called a lot of things in my career, but never a RINO’
He has been called a RINO since Obama Admin...or at least I saw him as one. Is he really that clueless....please write RINO on that pathetic 1980’s whiteboard!

He’s just beginning to recognize the snakes.
I knew Rove was a snake a decade ago.
Flimsey Grahamnesty is a snake and Trump is still consulting him.
Micro Rubio, Blunt, Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Scott (SC-Cheap Labor Express), Lankford, Grassley are all up in 2022 and should all be replaced.
Trump has already endorsed Scott.
He better not endorse more of them, we will never Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.

Rove is a Bushite obviously. He represents the old RINO establishment and they are clearly in the tiny minority of the party nowadays. It’s starting to dawn on them. Just wait till 2022 when the Deplorables get their say in what they think about the RINO’s betrayal in 2020.

Karl Rove has absolutely no credit for electing even President GW Bush. History shows us that Bush was elected in spite of Karl Rove.

And Rove keeps appearing on the cable networlks , playing like a cracked record.

Agauin, President Trump is the great shepherd, heading the conservative flock in the right direction. Hacks like Karl Rove are a dime a dozen, and have no job, and it will soon be the same for the ever wavering, bipartisan Mitch the Bitch McConnell, whose solitary guiding principle is how to continuously slobber at the pork trough leavings of the lefty Dems, selling out the Constitution and The People, while the liberal fascists conduct a massive, coordinated demographic war on America.

“He’s just beginning to recognize the snakes.”

You make it sound like Trump was born yesterday and that only recently has he made these discoveries. I knew about Rove, you knew about Rove and Trump knew about Rove. Trump doesn’t always make what and who he knows obvious. He probably didn’t think it was important enough to make his opinion of Rove known...until now.

Talk about being out of touch.

There are a lot of choice comments on this thread, How Karl Rove went from GOP mastermind to the right's political punching bag, 12/25/2013. Replies 2, 10, and 18 are particularly good on Rove's shortcomings.

I really do not understand how someone like Rove still has credibility. He's a status quo Republican who can not maintain the status quo. On second thought, I think I just answered my own question.
