The Republican Party will lose the White House, the Senate and many of its House seats if Donald Trump becomes the party's presidential nominee, according to Karl Rove.

"If Mr. Trump is its standard-bearer, the GOP will lose the White House and the Senate, and its majority in the House will fall dramatically," the Republican wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal.

Rove, who was a top adviser to former President George W. Bush, said nominating Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for president could also be dangerous.

"If the nominee is Ted Cruz the situation is still dicey," he wrote.

Rove needs to quit sniffing those whiteboard markers

Can someone exact a promise from Tokyo Rove that when none of this happens and Trump is in the White House with a working majority in the Congress too scared to cross Trump, he - Rove- will just go away so we don’t have to hear from him again? He is just so pathetic.

...because unlike Trump, Karl Rove’s candidate of choice, Jeb Bush, has proven to be such an inspiration for Republican voters. Jeb’s at about 5% in the polls, if Rove got to pick House and Senate candidates for us, they’d be more or less in the same ballpark.
