Karl Rove: If Trump is nominee, GOP will lose White House and Senate
The Hill ^ | 1/8/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 01/08/2016 12:39:03 PM PST by jimbo123

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.

Our vets have to be taken care of.

We have to end Obamacare, and we have to make our country great again,

and I will do that."

I have yet to understand the difference between Rove and the DNC.

The entire government is a seriously scary hybrid, oligarchical fascism.

This coming from a guy who had Megyn Kelly running around the studios of FOX news on election night over FOX calling Ohio for Obama. Turned out Michael Baron had it right and ROVE was using 2004 as his basis of understanding of Ohio turnout. WHAT a MAROON!

“After TRUMP win, GOP will lose GOPe and Rove.”

Hopefully, gop/gope, as we know it, will die.

One thing is for sure: if Trump DOES win the White House, most GOP political consultants like Karl Rove will be picking up trash along the highway.

“Rove, Trump wasn’t around in 2008 and 2012 and your establishment GOP had no trouble losing the White House and Senate with their beloved RINOs.”

In other words, it is the same as Karl Rove saying: “If I have anything to do with the nominee, the GOP will lose White House and Senate”.

Here is Rove speaking recently on Fox. He lost the argument.

Hey Karl...quit while you’re ahead. Wimpy rinos are the ones who lose. Take your money and go home. Trump doesn’t need it.

On Roves word, Trump is a lock.

If Rove was Bush’s brain, that explains a lot.
