Karl Rove, in Murdoch's paper, says Trump can't do the job ("Political Death by 1,000 Tweets")
In a blistering op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Rove said, “Trump lacks the focus or self-discipline to do the basic work required of a president.”
Rove began explaining why Trump’s tweeting doesn’t remove the media barrier between Trump and the citizenry, it consistently undermines his administration and his political agenda. Citing Trump’s tweets calling his executive order a “travel ban,” Rove said the legal strategy defending the ban “lies in tatters.”

He went on to wonder why Trump was questioning the motives of other countries for entering into the Paris Climate Accord at a time that the U.S. needs international support for the war against ISIS. Instead, Trump should have touted American success and leadership on fighting climate change without the Paris Climate Accord.
“Increasingly it appears Mr. Trump lacks the focus or self-discipline to do the basic work required of a president,” he closed. “His chronic impulsiveness is apparently unstoppable and clearly self-defeating. Mr. Trump may have mastered the modes of communication, but not the substance, thereby sabotaging his own agenda.”

Political Death by 1,000 Tweets
Trump has mastered the medium but not the substance. His agenda is at stake.

Mike Dubke recently resigned his position as WH Communications Director. He was a founder of the communications arm (Crossroads Media) of Rove's American Crossroads Super PAC and has long ties with Rove.
Dubke must have unloaded all sorts of info onto Rove leading up to this editorial.
Meanwhile, it's interesting to see that his Hamness has awoken and wonder if he will eventually butt heads with TheGrimReaper™ at some point. He knows that what Drumpf is doing could help feed his own PAC for 2018 if he can establish the side of the GOP that intends on running away from Der Drumpenfuhrer.

Not only have they thrown him under the bus, but they have backed up and run him over again, calling him a "Rino stooge" as the most benign characterization. In fact this one (from this page) was a riot -

No kidding. This porker gas bag must really be linked in with the Democrats or they must have something on him. He’s as credible as Maxine Waters or Al Green.
