Anyone subscribing to the idea that Karl Rove is engaging in some devilishly smart politics by going out of his way to talk about Hillary Clinton’s health and age might want to take a look at a poll that dropped Wednesday morning.
The latest Washington Post-ABC News survey indicated that the man hailed as the “architect” of George W. Bush’s two successful presidential campaigns may have outwitted himself. Two-thirds of Americans said they disapprove of Rove “raising questions” about the former secretary of state’s “age and health.”
Only a quarter of respondents said they approve of Rove’s comments.
Rove has spent much of this month discussing Clinton’s fitness for the presidency after he addressed her late-2012 hospitalization at a conference in California. He insisted that he never said Clinton had “brain damage,” but contended that it’s fair game to talk about a would-be candidate’s health.
On Monday, Rove was at it again, calling Clinton is “old and stale.”
“…Only a quarter of respondents said they approve of Rove’s comments…”
The most overrated political consultant in history is wrong yet again.
Just because they don’t approve, doesn’t mean they aren’t talking about it. That’s all he’s after, and he has succeeded.
Old and stale is still better than fat and stupid.
Oh, the irony! This, from a man who’s been using his politics-of-personal-destruction-playbook for decades.
Mr. Obvious strikes again…and misses by a country mile.
Can’t believe anyone would trust this man, even with a thin dime after the gobs of money he blew through from wealthy donors on his last vanity project. Karl needs to look in the mirror. He’s nothing but a ham-handed shyster pretending to do party politics but only for a price, just like the rest of these political grifting “operatives”.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul…huh Karl??? Oh that’s right…he never had a soul to begin with…
When he was empowered in his capacity as Bush’s brain, Turdblossom never showed any wisdom. His fall to Fox must really sting.
