Karl Rove to Trump: ‘America Likes Comebacks But They Don't Like Sore Losers'
2020-12-14
[Breitbart] Republican strategist Karl Rove said on this week’s broadcast "Fox News Sunday" that President Donald Trump should be aware Americans do not like "sore losers."

Anchor Chris Wallace asked, "The Electoral College votes tomorrow, and then on January 6, the Congress actually counts the votes and formally declares a winner. Do you expect President Trump to continue to contest the election past tomorrow, maybe even past January 6, and do you think he’s either helping or hurting both himself and the country?"

Rove said, "Well, I believe that he will. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that maybe tomorrow there are attempts to disrupt the voting in the six contested states. I wouldn’t be surprised to see expressions of public support for the president’s position from Trump electors in states that he carried. I wouldn’t be surprised on January 6 — I fully expect that one senator and one representative, at minimum, that’s what’s required, can file a statement contesting the electoral college results. But I don’t see that it’s going to be overturned tomorrow, and I don’t see that it’s going to be overturned on January 6. "

He added, "As to your second question, it depends on — the answer to that depends upon what’s his goal? 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. 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 6."

#11  Texas Has Standing. They rejected Dominion Voting Machines as unreliable for the Federal Election which the other 4 swing states used, thus allowing what they tried to prevent, a fraudulent federal election result.

#9  No More Clintons
No More Bushes
No More Obamas

and by extension, no more of any of their worker bees, like Carville, Rove or Jarrett...

#8  Just a guess, but Americans didn't/don't like Biden to the tune of 15 million more votes than Obama got. So get stuffed Karl.

#7  Rove is a globalist, and therefore sympathetic to China.

Fuck him and his goons.

#3  His math is interesting. Which he didn't us here. Because it doesn't apply. Proving here he's a droning liar suiting the Fox Chrissy Wallace propaganda. Selling out for airtime.
