Karl Rove to Trump: ‘America Likes Comebacks But They Don’t Like Sore Losers’

Pam Key 13 Dec 2020

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.”

Irrelevant Karl Rove can kiss my grits! 

[skeeter]

Was there ever a more irrelevant political consultant? The one thing W got right was calling this guy Turd Blossom.

[HoustonSam]

Rove is correct.

Those of us who voted for Trump and believe the election has been corrupted by significant fraud won't see Trump as a sore loser over this.  But other people will.  If Trump plans to come back he will need all the votes he can get, not just those he already has.

That doesn't mean Trump should drop legal challenges.  It does mean he needs to watch carefully his attitude and statements.  "I'VE BEEN CHEATED!" won't broaden his support; "election procedures should be fully transparent and auditable so we can trust them" might.

America will not be here in 4 years. Why do I care What Karl Rove thinks anyway.

Waiting for the shooting to start!

This is sort of where I am too. Thanks for this write up. Puts it well.

But I don't think his legal challenges will go far using the current tactics.

FACT:  The Man HAS been cheated.  75M + voters have been cheated.

And nobody who voted for him is ever going to walk away at the opportunity to vote for him or anyone else with a Trump surname.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

No they don't, Karl.

But they hate cheaters worst of all.

[kevindavis007]

Karl Rove is right.

That's right about where I have been all along too @HoustonSam

At some point this is beating a dead horse... I think that time has probably past, or is approaching fast at the least.

The problem all along was proving it.

On the other hand, there is no way anyone named Trump will receive a single one of those 6 million Biden 'votes' in the future. Nor will any other republican, for that matter. There will be no election worth the name in 2024.

We don't like cheaters and thieves, either, but here we are.

@HoustonSam


Correct..

[skeeter]

Cheaters and thieves now count the votes. Given where this nation is now being seen as a sore loser is rather inconsequential.

[catfish1957]

Rove, Put this on your whiteboard  ....

To be a sore loser, you have to lose.  Too much ignored evidence out there to say otherwise.

[Right_in_Virginia]

@yodaspock

Actually, there's nothing dramatic about this @kevindavis  This election battle is the last stand for the America we know.

If a national election can be stolen, so can a couple of Georgia Senate seats. Stacey Abrams, who has still not conceded her loss in the Georgia gubernatorial election, joins fellow Democrats calling on Trump to concede. How many ballots will she “find” on election night? Surely enough to swing the election to the two Democrat candidates.

If Democrats can steal one presidential election, they can certainly steal another one, and enough Congressional elections for a permanent Democrat majority in the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government. Elections will no longer matter as the winner will be preordained by the ruling class.

Democrats can add states to the union, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and a split California, giving them a solid Senate majority. Eliminating the filibuster, as promised, will make Republican objections to any bill or nomination irrelevant.

A stacked Supreme Court, as also promised, will allow the left to rewrite the Constitution to suit Bernie, AOC, and George Soros, rather than Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison.

Medicare-for-all and the Green New Deal will soon be the law of the land, as will open borders and tens of millions of new Democrat constituents. Expect a carbon tax as we sign on to the Paris Climate Accord. Iran will be back to building nukes and China will control of most of corporate America.
 
The next month is crucial, as options are running out for President Trump to correct an egregious wrong, one that will forever change America for the worse, from a beacon of freedom and liberty to a banana republic on the way to civil war or outright failure.

 This election is about far more than Trump versus Biden. It’s about the future of America. Trump is the only thing standing between the land of the free and a takeover by globalists, including China and the United Nations, conquering America in the name of socialism and communism.
