Stopping Trump: Karl Rove Leading Massive Effort Within Republican Party To Squash Trump’s Candidacy
The Inquisitr News ^ | February 27, 2016 | Nathan Francis

Donald Trump could end up destroying the Republican Party if he were to become the 2016 presidential nominee, famed strategist Karl Rove is warning party leaders.

With Trump rolling in the first few states to vote, and polls showing him with significant leads in other upcoming contests, it appears difficult to stop his momentum toward the nomination. He has generated the most enthusiasm among voters, many of whom are tired of the same establishment candidates.

That now has many within the Republican establishment worried, as evidenced by Karl Rove's address to major donors earlier this month. Rove, who led George W. Bush's winning campaigns, implored those in attendance that a Donald Trump candidacy would be a total disaster for the party, squandering the party's chance to take back the White House after Barack Obama leaves office....

Scenerio 2 is a better result than letting the puppetmasters choose another nominee who's a designated loser.

I really believe that Trump will get in there and turn things around. At the very least, those who are managing the disgusting maneuvers to stop him will have to head for the hills.

Nah...Not Nationalist Realist. Trump is bringing the best and the worst out of the complacency closet. The people who sat back, did not vote, and let Bubba, Bush and Oshit become President are now getting up off their bon-bon littered couch. For better or for worse. The very fact that the bubble is so burst that TWO brokered convention’s are being talked about means both Trump and Bernie are gifts from God. It’s about time

Anyone who gave Rove any money should start demanding refunds.

Karl Rove could end up destroying the Republican Party if he succeeds in defeating Trump in the effort to preclude any Republican, and especially any nonGOPe from winning the presidency.

Conservatives have always been told, no 3rd party, we must take control of the Republican Party.

Conservatives that don't already support Trump, will with few exceptions, overwhelmingly support him in Nov. over Hillary.

Record turnouts with most all voting straight party ticket will give the house and senate numbers they have never seen before.

The next step will be new leadership in the Senate, House & RNC.

Karl Rove: EPIC FAIL. These old elite Establishment RINOs are really pulling out the stops. They are scared out of their wits that Trump will get the nomination and win. And when he does, there's going to be a lot of these parasites put out of work and maybe in jail.

Nr. 2 is eminently possible but bythe end of it it will be entirely too late for any new party and there will be onbly one party de jure as well as de facto.

If I was a rich Republican donor, the first thing I'd do before backing any candidate that Rove was advising would be to look at Rove’s track record vs. money spent. So far, the only thing I see is that Rove and his cronies have gotten filthy rich off the donors and the donors have zero, zip, nada to show for it. I wonder if, on one of those rare intorspectived days, they feel like they've been swindled by a flimflam man?

What Rove is saying is that Donald defeats globalists, foreign governments, multi national corporations, open border advocates and secular humanists.

Apparently this is bad for the GOP.

I don't care about the GOO, I care for America. The two are not the same.

in order for the party to snuff out Donald Trump’s campaign, the party needs to be able to coalesce behind one candidate

What their mediocre intellects cannot grasp is that their base of support has already coalesced around Donald Trump.

And for some very good reasons.

Their base of support does not trust them--their intellect (they don't know what's going on--much less what to do about it), their honesty (they have proven themselves to be utterly deceitful), their integrity, their ability.

They have proven that they cannot be trusted. And they are not trusted. Get that through your stupid heads!

And their base of support--increasingly--holds them in utter contempt.

These Fools don't know it, but they have already lost. They have lost their base of support.

Republican Spring. These media dipshits show more concern over Trump than the Islamists in the Arab spring.

This is our Republican Spring

Donald Trump was the ONLY one with guts enough to say what needed to be said. He is our voice.

He is funding his own campaign

NOBODY owns Donald.

He is beholden to NO ONE.

He’s a brilliant business man, CEO.

He will surround himself with the most brilliant, talented America has to offer-per his cabinet and advisers. This is the kind of man we need to run the country. He Will make America great again. He will make America RESPECTED again.

The revolution many of you have wanted and predicted because we are so angry at the corrupt government is here. It’s being led by Donald. Don't let him down.

They really must like Trump a lot if they put Rove in charge.

Rove, and the establishment are worried about losing their cushy jobs if Trump is elected. They’re afraid that Trump may very well control our border, and bring their dreams of a massive 3rd World US under joint Dem/Rep elite control to an end.

He says destroying the Republican Party like it is a bad thing? He means he will no longer feed at its trough.

Pray America wakes

You rinos have already done that. Trump and Cruz are the backlash against you.
