Karl Rove Rips Trump: 'Americans Don't Like Sore Losers'

Karl Rove had some advice for the man who consistently claims to “not like losers” – Americans do not like sore losers and Trump “is on the edge of looking like a sore loser.”

After Fox News’ Chris Wallace asked the former deputy chief of staff to George W. Bush if he expects the outgoing president to continue to contest the election past Monday when the Electoral College formally casts their ballots for president and vice president, Rove used the opportunity to speak to Trump’s endgame, and offered some unsolicited advice.

“If his goal is to lay the predicate to come back in 2024 and run again, he’s helping himself at least gain the nomination.” Rove said, “But I think in the long run, he’s not helping himself or the country. America likes comebacks, but they don’t like sore losers. And he is on the edge of looking like a sore loser and probably will look like it after January 6th.”


?s=20

On January 6th the electors’ ballots will be counted by Congress and President-elect Biden will be inaugurated as the 46th President on January 20.

Strange days when I agree with Rove. Don't expect it to happen again soon however.

But Karl, you yourself are an architect of the non-reality based world.

Welcome to the new non-reality.

Trump reved his engine and launched himself off the cliff. Dude got more air time than Thelma and Louise.
