'The president is behind': Karl Rove serves up stark warning to Trump campaign

Republican strategist Karl Rove on Friday all but acknowledged President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign will require a significant reboot in the coming months, conceding it lacks a consistent line of messaging to deploy against former Vice President Joe Biden.

“Let’s be honest about it: The president is behind today,” Rove told Fox News, referring to a series of recent surveys showing Trump trailing the presumptive Democratic nominee nationally and in several battleground states.

“These things happen in campaigns,” he argued, going on to contend that the “question is not, ‘Where are the polls today,’ but, ‘What does the president need to do in order to regain the advantage?’”

The dire remarks from one of the Republican Party’s most revered political minds — who POLITICO reported last week is now advising the Trump campaign — come amid escalating concerns within the GOP regarding the president’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and widespread racial unrest.

3. So when we see Karl Rove these days, is it as a FOX News correspondent or a Trump campaign adviser?

Asking for a friend who is really worried about big media bias.

He takes direction very well.

And tell him some Dubya stories... you know, about how young George was the handsomest, sexiest man you ever met... the Donald loves good buddy sagas like that.

8. KKKarl's problem to get the job is that SHITLER can't handle truth or reality, ugly or otherwise.

If KKKarl has any loyalty, it's to the B.F.E.E., especially to Shrub. And SHITLER has shat upon most of the B.F.E.E. members, which has not stopped George Pee Shrub from supporting him in '16 and now, against his own father.

So KKKarl wants power? Or more cash opportunities? The line from 2016 for Repukes that they thought they could CHANGE him, WORK with and on him, or even work AROUND him - won't work this time. We, unlike them, knew from Day 1 what an amoral criminal he is, or perhaps they have always known but wanted to use him. But whatever KKKarl's motives are, he *knows* that NO discipline can work with SHITLER, and the inevitable firing must be creeping around in the ass end of his mind. What could be worth it?!1
