Rove predicts multi-ballot convention for GOP
Politico ^ | 1/7/16 | Nick Gass

For the first time in 68 years, the Republican Party will need more than one ballot to pick its nominee this summer in Cleveland, Karl Rove predicted in his annual list of prognostications.

"Delegates will be fractured-with many legally bound, for at least one ballot, to support the winner of their state or district-and at least two ballots will be required," he wrote in The Wall Street Journal.

-snip-

Should Donald Trump, the current leader in most statewide and national polling, become the party's pick, Rove predicted that the Democrats would maintain control of the White House for another four years and would also retake control of the Senate. The GOP's overall share of seats in the House would also take a tumble, he added.

Now we know why:



1. Right to Rise just received a $10 million donation today.


2. Jeb Bush has started lending his own campaign money to keep the lights on.

Someone needs to keep this and shove it in his face when he is wrong.

Karl Rove is a GOPe propagandist. But he actually has some value as a counter-indicator. If both he and Dick Morris predict the same thing, then I know it's time to bet on the exact opposite.

I can guarantee that Trump has already mapped out a strategy to beat the GOPe at their little game. They are messing with a guy who cares not a whit about their unspoken GOPe “rules of decorum.” The will try to screw Trump at their own peril.

And I’m not even a Trump supporter...just a lukewarm observer.

Watching that fat bastard’s face go apoplectic on election night in 2012 after Ohio went to Obama will be only slightly less hilarious when either Trump or Cruz get the Republican nomination, no matter what shenanigans they try to pull at the convention.

“...Karl Rove predicted in his annual list of prognostications....”
**********************************************************************************
On MY annual list of prognostications, I have a bullet item that predicts:

...”Karl Rove’s income solicited from his ‘suckers’, ahh... I mean ‘clients’, will continue to plummet and Rove’s main source of remaining income will be his silly white board appearances on Fox News.”

But I would bet he is well off already.

I just read Rove’s predictions in this morning’s WSJ, he truly full of crap and still believes that it will be a Establishment GOPe that will get the nomination.
