Former adviser to President George W. Bush Karl Rove warned Donald Trump that the former president’s attitude toward Nikki Haley’s supporters threatens his reelection bid this November.
Rove claimed that with the electoral makeup of the 2024 election so close, Trump should not upset supporters of the former U.N. ambassador because their lack of support for him could benefit President Joe Biden instead. More than 76,000 voters chose Haley in Tuesday night’s Wisconsin primary, representing a significant percentage of voters still not sold on Trump.
“Mr. Trump’s attitude to his rivals’ supporters has gone from dismissiveness—’they always bend the knee’—to indifference, saying he doesn’t need ‘too many’ Haley supporters to win

Again, I ask. When has Karl Rove ever been right?

Whatever Rove says - the opposite is likely true.

Hey Karl, those Nikki Haley voters are Democrats in sheep's clothing and moldy RINOs such as yourself. Nikki Haley voters are NOT Trump people, so go somewhere else and tell your sad tale. Karl Rove is a RINO engineer. Escort him to the door, please. Next...

So says the man who blew through $105 million in 2012 and lost most of the races on which he spent money. He's also the genius who advised GWB that it was "unpresidential" to fight back against all the Dem lies and filth flung his way. Rove should know that most of Haley's "supporters" were Dems trying to make trouble for Trump. I have two uber leftists living down the street from me who had a Haley sign in their yard. Trust me, those two will NEVER vote for Trump.

Since when do you cater to your political opponents, Karl? Are you as senile as Traitor Joe?

Rove is just a Bushie claiming he is, himself, important.
Important people don’t have to say they are important.

Karl says Trump should tone it down to bring in hard core Democrat voters who hate him so much they'd switch parties to vote for his empty suit rival who literally lost to "None of the above" in Nevada?
Karl, go away. Just go. You're only getting press because you hate Trump like all fake conservative Bushies.

Nikki Haley showed her true colors as she began to crash and burn. Many of her supporters were ringers for the democratic party. Reasonable men will leave the ass kissing to Karl Rove as he rides off to nowhere again.

Karl Rove wants the Republican party to sound more like the Democratic party. No thanks. The Republicans are supposed to provide a real ALTERNATIVE for all those people that disagree with Democratic policy. One of the biggest problems with the Republican party is they have failed to do this. Sit down, Karl. Seriously, many people disagree with Karl Rove's strategy.

Rove is WRONG in all ways about anything in politics, especially Trump.
Examiner is generally a NeverTrump source, too.

Let's be a little charitable towards Ms. Haley.
Many of her voters in NH and other states, after all the other candidates were gone except her and Pres Trump, were Democrats trying their hand at El Rushbo's "Operation Chaos" in 2008, where he encouraged Republicans after McPain had won enough delegates to support Hillary Clinton over Emperor Obama the First, may his name be praised and his word be law, yada, yada, yada.
Those folks are probably going to vote for Biden or RFK Jr. A percentage of them are Republicans and will be Trump voters -- let's face it, most of the folks who supported other Republicans, like DeSantis, Vivek, etc. went to Trump. Trump was their second choice from the start. I know in 2016, the first time I voted for Trump was in the general election. Trump had rubbed me the wrong way since the 1980s, but once it was Hillary vs Trump, my mind was made up pretty quickly.

He’s complaining about Trump’s attitude toward his rivals supporters? What about Biden comparing us to Nazis? Hillary calling us “deplorable”?!
Karl, get your head on straight and wake up…I promise you, the alligators will NOT eat you last.

He hasn't been relevant for 16 years. Perhaps he should sit down and shut up. President Trump knows what he is doing!

Hey Karl take your little white board and waddle along. By the way you might want to change to a black board. The Reid cretin may go ballistic on you using a"white board".

Trying to give Haley leverage to bargain for some particular thing, we do not know what, is my guess.

Forget Karl Rove, and all of his baggage. Trump will need every vote he can muster to overcome the on-rushing freight train of planned democrat cheating. If that means he needs to be a bit conciliatory towards some former Hailey supporters, then that is no huge cross to bear. A re-do of 2020 will send our country straight down the tubes. Reagan got some southern Blue Dog democrats (liberal "moderates," but not communists) to vote for him in 1980, which provided him with a sufficient margin for a mandate to effect major policy changes after the disastrous Carter administration. Yellow Dog democrats only vote for democrats.

Karl who? Did he have his little whiteboard with him? The game's up. People have caught on to the uniparty and are sick and tired of the @$$hats blowing hot air and screwing us over.
