Longtime GOP strategist Karl Rove, a key determine in George W. Bush’s two runs for the White Home, used one in every of Donald Trump’s disparaging descriptions of Democratic rival Kamala Harris to ask a damning query of the ex-president himself.
Trump was “crushed” by Harris throughout Tuesday’s presidential debate, Rove declared in his latest column for The Wall Street Journal, echoing related commentary from quite a few different conservative commentators.
Rove, who can be a political contributor for Fox News, recalled Trump’s earlier insult of Harris in July as “dumb as a rock” and wrote: “Which raises the query: What does that make him?”
The query concluded Rove’s withering critique of Trump’s debate efficiency, which he stated was a “prepare wreck” for the previous president and “far worse than something Workforce Trump might have imagined.”
Trump “let his feelings get the higher of him” and “did a horrible job at his most vital activity—tying her to President Biden’s failed insurance policies,” stated Rove.
Harris “got here throughout as calm, assured, sturdy and centered on the longer term” whereas Trump was “sizzling, indignant and fixated on the previous, particularly his personal,” he added.
