Karl Rove Scolds Trump and the GOP After Dismal Election Day
"In the Journal, Rove analyzed where Republicans may have made mistakes, writing the GOP has to learn that screaming communist' and socialist' at run-of-the-mill Democrats doesn't move even die-hard MAGA voters. Explaining why a Democrat's policies will raise costs or hurt jobs and offering a constructive, forward-looking agenda is a much better approach. Americans want to know Republicans are making life more affordable, communities safer and the economy stronger."
"Most concerning for the GOP, voters' decisions Tuesday were certainly a result of their disapproval of Mr. Trump and his policies. The RealClearPolitics average that day had him at 43.4% approve, 54.4% disapprove. He has even worse numbers on the economy, foreign policy and inflation. To turn this around, the White House will need to focus on the economy and the cost of living, speak candidly about challenges, lower expectations, temper the rhetoric, underpromise, overdeliver"
Karl Rove warned that Republican tactics of labeling average Democrats as "communist" or "socialist" fail to persuade core MAGA voters. He urged Republicans to explain how Democratic policies would raise costs or hurt jobs and to present a constructive, forward-looking agenda emphasizing affordability, public safety, and economic strength. Rove attributed recent GOP losses largely to voter disapproval of Donald Trump and cited low approval and poor issue ratings. He recommended the White House prioritize the economy and cost of living, speak candidly about challenges, temper rhetoric, underpromise and overdeliver, and avoid extreme enforcement actions.
