KARL ROVE: Donald Trump Is Discrediting The Entire Republican Party
Edited on Thu Mar-31-11 02:10 PM by kpete
Source: Business Insider


During their interview, O'Reilly expressed disbelief that Trump was actually a birther at all, and O'Reilly's next guest, Karl Rove, also tried to distance himself and the rest of the Republican party from Trump's newfound birtherism.

"The right wing base of the Republican party, I'm part of that right wing base, is not in love with the issue of birthers. I mean, there is an element inside the Republican party, and outside the Republican party, that's fallen in love with this but the majority of Republicans and the vast majority of Americans accept is he a U.S. citizen capable of being president."

Rove was especially disconcerted with how Trump seems to be actually becoming more and more of a birther as time goes on.

"You know, the troubling thing in the interview tonight was he said as time has gone on here, over the last couple of weeks, he has become more interested and more believing in the issue. You know, when he first brought it up, he said 'of course I accept that he's a citizen. He ought to just release the, release his birth certificate.' Different tone tonight. This is a mistake. It will marginalize him and he's falling into Barack Obama's trap. Barack Obama wants Republicans to fall into this trap because he knows it discredits us with the vast majority of the American people when they do."

1. If Trump cannot rise up to the standard set by Karl Rove, he's in trouble.

9. It's why I filled out Newsmax poll saying I thought Trump would be an excellent president....
Edited on Thu Mar-31-11 02:25 PM by GreenTea
In the Newsmax poll I gave Trump all the positives and highest marks....(yes, I know Newsmax is a republican pile of shit).

Because I know Trump is nothing more than a publicity seeking, egotistical greedy self-absorbed cold-hearted republican prick....just feed his ego and watch ole Trump GO....And let the republicans have to deal another asshole like Trump along with the other greedy lying crazy fascist republican assholes like Palin, Gingrich, Bachman, etc. etc.

11. You know...Trump's entering into the fray may not be what it seems
Not that I like the guy, but I could see his run as an attempt to discredit the party....

Granted, he's no fan of Obama, or the Democrats, and it is probably more because of his oversized ego...

22. Taverner, I was thinking the same thing. I know he's a tiger in the business world,
but from what I could see from having watched every season of "The Apprentice", I don't see him seeing eye-to-eye with the party of upside-down. If he did agree with their policies, he'd want to focus on the real issues. He's being "crazy like a fox" by putting a national spotlight on the birthers.

From what I've seen by watching his show, he's very philanthropic-minded & he's not a racist in the very least. I'm impressed with his son & daughter, too. They all seem liberal minded, imo.

rich people" and we can really have a good laugh.

20. Republican "ideas" - if you can call them that - discredit the republican party
bunch of thug enforcers for the super rich, ultra powerful, and mega corporations. Whatever those people want, that's what we'll get. Oh and some regressive social policies to please the tea bagger idiots as well.

28. Maybe Trump is making fun of the birthers in a wry way?
Maybe he's trying to make them sound ridiculous?
