'He remains undisciplined': Karl Rove says Trump risks chances by ranting about 'privates'
Republican strategist Karl Rove warned that former President Donald Trump's re-election chances were in jeopardy because the candidate "remains undisciplined."
During a Thursday panel on Fox News, Rove said the election was effectively a coin toss. He also argued that Trump was not helping his prospects.
"How important was it to make a succinct closing argument?" Fox News host Bill Hemmer wondered.
"Very important, and obviously the emphasis on being optimistic is important, 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," Rove replied.
The Republican strategist said Trump's team was running a "disciplined campaign," but the candidate was making matters worse.

"He remains undisciplined," Rove lamented. "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 gonna cover the wild thing rather than the substantive thing and the substantive thing is what's gonna sell the voters."
