Rove: Trump’s Trial Decision Is Not Helping His Polls with Republicans

RUSH EXCERPT:
ROVE: "Two contradictory trends. on the one hand a number of polls showing a significant number of independents, high plurality or majority of independents think Donald Trump ought to end his campaign and a significant number of Republicans, 10% Republicans said he should end, another one was 16% so in terms of specific reaction, it’s not helpful for Donald Trump but the ballot hasn’t changed much. we don’t have about of national polls, other polls have shown the race is where it was before the announcement. my view is it will take a wild for this all to sort of make itself felt and work its way through the system but the biggest thing will be how these two men conduct themselves. if they make it a centerpiece of their campaign either in the case of Donald Trump in order to complain with rage and a a over how he was treated or President Biden to point finger and say convicted felon convicted felon convicted felon, whichever campaign if either campaign adopt that strategy they are going to hurt themselves. it was significant that at the speech on Thursday in Arizona Donald Trump spent very little time on the court case and lots of time on the broken southern border. that was smart on his part. we don’t know how the president and his team will handle it because he’s on a foreign trip where inserting the topic into a speech like the day not being particularly smart. in the immediate aftermath of it, he was at oppressor in the Washington White House on the Middle East and at the end a shouted question about it let him to turn around and with a very weird Grimace on his face, for seven seconds he grinned at the camera. I don’t know if that was intentional or not but wasn’t a good look."
