Trump: Rove ‘The Most Over-rated Man in Politics’

[brooklynite]

Source: Newsmax

Donald Trump has slammed Karl Rove as “the most over-rated person in politics” claiming the Republican strategist’s attack ads on actress Ashley Judd have increased her chances of winning a senate seat.

“This is the same mind that spent $400 million and didn’t win a race. He’s the most overrated person in politics,” Trump said during a press conference following his Friday morning speech at CPAC 2013.

Judd is widely expected to launch a bid for the Democratic nomination for the senate seat in Kentucky where she would take on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2014 if she was successful.

“I like Mitch McConnell and think what Karl Rove did to him was a disaster. Karl Rove has actually made her (seem) beautiful and make people think she is great,” Trump said.

When it comes to being "over-rated", always listen to an expert...

[wryter2000]

1. LOL

Pot...kettle...black.

[Bjorn Against]

2. While this is clearly a pot and kettle situation

I have absolutely no problem if they choose to have a big argument over who is more irrelevant.

[Cha]

14. LOL

[onehandle]

3. True. He failed in 2000. It took Ralph Nader, Florida Crooks, and SCOTUS to select Bush. nt

[olddots]

4. Its the battle of the excrement piles

Rove verses Trump who has caused more damage to the reputation of humanity ?

[monmouth3]

5. Poor donald, Rove has ignored him from the git-go so this is payback I guess..LOL...n/t

[question everything]

6. I have a dream

Someday Donald Trump will blurt something - wise or idiotic - and no one will give a damn.

No one will report it, no one will care.

One can always dream.

Sigh.

[jsr]

7. Pig insults pig

[truthisfreedom]

8. You're right, trump. You're also a life-support system for a bad hair day.

[xtraxritical]

12. Hair? I think it's rat skins.

[bemildred]

9. Now that's irony. nt

[tblue37]

10. Mitch isn't Majority leader of the Senate--Harry Reid is. nt

[kimbutgar]

11. Careful when you link to newsmax they put a bunch of vile cookies in your computer

[tanyev]

13. And Donald has first-hand knowledge of over-rated men.

[JudyM]

17. ... and we have a winner. +1 nt

[maddiemom]

15. Can't express how much I'm loving this Repug infighting.

Both Trump and Rove are perfect examples of egos run amok. Trump had his life handed to him on a silver platter, but doesn't realize that he was born on third base. Give Rove credit for being the unattractive nerd with brains enough to figure out all the unsavory paths to power. You can't fault him for realizing his political talents and using them. You can fault him for being an
immoral (or amoral, to be kind) jerk, most craving his own power.

[lastlib]

16. Probably the only thing he's gotten right in the last two years!

[JudyM]

18. I would probably pay to see Ashley Judd debate Slick McConnell

... just to watch him squirming, trying not to be a total insult-hurling, bitter, crusty, holier-than-though mumbler. She is the perfect foil for him.

[In_The_Wind]

19. Wow!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. I might pay $2 to see that cage-match ...

... two pigs enter ... only one comes out alive ...

[Brigid]

23. And don't forget what they were using for fuel in that movie!

For me, the first part of that movie always had a quirky brilliance all its own.

[davidpdx]

33. I'd pay to see that

no holds barred. But for godsakes make them both shave their back first.

[4bucksagallon]

21. I can't even bring myself to go to Newsmax....

But my vote would be Grover Nordquist or whatever his name is.

[Turbineguy]

22. Glad to see Trump voicing an opinion

on a subject he actually knows something about. There's competition among the over-rated.

[Posteritatis]

24. I'm actually kinda inclined to agree

Rove's been spun as some political ubermensch of unspeakable prowess and nigh-limitless influence, the sort of person who makes Machiavelli look like Peter Griffin. There's people around here who even now seem convinced he's behind every other domestic political event and nearly all of the international ones.

If the guy had a fraction of the political and diplomatic acumen people ascribe to him, we'd be in the middle of Bush's fourth term as president right now.

I'd certainly say Trump's more irrelevant, but I'd also say Rove is more overrated.

[sendero]

25. I totally agree..

... and would add that as a multiply-bankrupt real-estate "tycoon" it takes one to know one.

[grasswire]

26. yum yum

who's taking bets on this?

[underpants]

27. "30 years of Republican rule"

An April 2005 Frontline documentary about Rove contended that Bush's 2004 election win was the crowning achievement in a 30-year plan that Rove had devised to make the Republican Party the permanent majority party in the United States.

[olddad56]

28. can't argue with the Donald on his assessment of Rove, but Donald is the most overrated man period.

[gauguin57]

29. A monkey typing away on a keyboard will occasionally produce a couple of actual words

Trump says something that makes sense about once every hundred years. Like Brigadoon.

[bitchkitty]

30. From the most over-quoted man in the media. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

31. Takes one to know one.

[elleng]

32. HA!
