You're here to answer the question:

Who on earth would think Rove is unbiased?

Well done.

You are not going to hear anything good about anyone who is against a road to citizenship for all the Hispanics already in this country from Fox News.

Donald Trump IS a loud braggart. You are upset because Rove told the truth?

Bet Trump retaliates against Rove and will somehow manage to get 'Turdblossom' into the sentence.

Anybody against Trump is biased in these Trumpkin's minds...he almost seems to have some sort of blind cult following.

dem·a·gogue
ˈdeməˌɡäɡ/
noun
a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.

Rove has been predicting Trump's demise since day 1. He's probably butthurt because his golden child "Jeb" is circling the drain.

Trump saw Rove in a green room, I believe it was O'Reilly's show, and told him "I need you on my side" - when Rove slighted Trump, the clown became offended and started calling Rove a moron thereafter. That's how Trump operates. If you're not for him, you're against him and he starts calling you names.

That was pretty funny, reminds me of a few of my less mature middle school students.

Rove and his ilk think they are "saving" the GOP from Trump. But a lot of Republicans are tired of Rove and his brand of Republicanism. Trump is a regular gaffe machine, but people want a fighter and are responding to him as viscerally as they did Obama in 2007-08. I'm not particularly happy about it. IMO a GOP ticket with Trump on top could mean losing the Senate to the Democrats (yeah, I know, that could happen no matter what GOP candidate...the public is fickle, but Trump makes it more likely).

But then again, even with a Democrat-controlled Senate, Trump could follow the precedent set by Obama and say the hell with Congress and just do everything by executive order. Who's going to stop him?

That is but one of the things that makes the thought of a Trump presidency border on terrifying.
