Donald Trump weighs in: “Karl Rove is a total loser”


In case you were wondering, Trump is not on board with the GOP strategist's new initiative either

BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD


Donald Trump offered his opinion on the feud between Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, and the Tea Partyers outraged by the super PAC’s plans to crush super-conservative candidates in the primaries:

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

Why are people giving money to Karl Rove when he just wasted $400M without any victories? Use your head.

Karl Rove is a total loser. Money given to him might as well be thrown down the drain.

Karl Rove’s strategy and commercials were the worst I have ever seen.

It is a shame Orangutans are fascinating creatures that he has been compared to them because some animal was forced to donate hair.

Karl works for the Bush's, Karl made the image of W that woked so well

Karl has done everything the last four years to help a war between
"sane" and "insane".

Karl did not want Mitt to win.

Karl wants Jeb.

and unless Jeb gets scared off by the enevitable Hillary45 bandwagon and in the end decides not to run and lose (like he did in 2012), karl will succeed in making Jeb the nominee in 2016.

Because he is promoting the LIE that Jeb is sane and the tea party is insane.

It's an act. Karl don't need to be loved by anyone to accept his paycheck from the family.

IMHO.

because it sure appears that is what he is doing to me.

(btw-Donald Trump is part of the loony branch of the republican party.
Creating a fight with him works well for Jeb.

Beware of Jeb.and a Jeb/Christie ticket.

Luckily it takes a Clinton to defeat a Bush, and there is a Clinton that is going to be the next President in 2016 and kick Jeb's ass.

(Which is what is really needed, two titans with opposite ideaologies, and the Bush's getting resoundingly defeated in a mega landslide to totally undo the Reagan/Bush years.

IMHO

also rememeber, Rove was one of the prime reasons that republicans were able to "stock" just about every position bottom to near the top (house and governor and senate.)

It's an illusion to think he is down and out.

republican frankinstein for president. They pair Bush with other Gov. and politicans work so Jeb can claim credit in future. Can tell this is a Rove-Trump act because if Rove wanted to, he could ruin Trump for life.

Everybody else does the real work, Donald is just the figurehead. Better to keep him occupied with his toys than risk letting him do anything important.

Though had Trump actually succeeded in getting Robme elected, he would be right up there in terms of vileness.

As awful as they both are, at least Rove isn't a birther. But he is a nasty devious turd nevertheless.

watching the right kick eachother in the nuts. Hope they beat the crap out of eachother. Could we get lucky enough that one side splits off from the party?
