Karl Rove Criticizes ‘Undisciplined’ Trump For ‘Stepping On’ His Own Message

Fox News’ Karl Rove criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for his “undisciplined” behavior on Thursday, arguing that the former commander-in-chief continues keeps “stepping on” his own message.

Anchor Bill Hemmer kicked off the segment by noting that Trump has been listing everything that he stands for at his rallies, submitting that “everything he [Trump] says is a headline on a policy that he would support” and rolling the tape from an event on Wednesday night.

“We’re going to close the borders first day, first hour, first minute. We’re going to close our borders. We’re going to take the criminals immediately. We will deport the criminals, we’re going to get them out fast. We’re going to get them out fast. We’re going to drill, baby, drill. We’re going to get our energy prices down. We’re going to get our country back in order,” pledged Trump. “And I think we’re going to have, I think we’re going to have the four greatest years in the history of our country.”

Hemmer then asked Rove about “how important” it is for candidates to “make a succinct closing argument.”

“Very important, and obviously the emphasis on being optimistic is important.” replied Rove. “But he keeps stepping on this, talking about, you know, Arnold Palmer’s privates and, you know, saying, you know, 39 minutes of dance music. This is the most disciplined campaign his staff has run, but he remains undisciplined. And in the next 12 days, you need to have him saying that kind of thing with a little bit more depth and substance to it and less on the sort of the riffing that has caused people to, you know, if he says something sort of wild, the media is going to cover the wild thing rather than the substantive thing.”

“And the substantive thing is what’s going to sell to voters,” he concluded.
