Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove on Wednesday published a scorching condemnation of the Republican Party, announcing in a Wall Street Journal editorial that he will vote Democratic in the Texas Railroad Commission race over "bigoted" Republican candidate Bo French.
"These people are diminishing the Republican Party, not building it," Rove wrote. "I'll have no part of it. This November, I'll vote for only the second Democrat in my life. The first was Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock in 1994, because I thought he would work with Republicans."
He continued, "The second will be Mr. French's opponent, Jon Rosenthal."

Who cares Turkey Neck Karl
I never liked him, still don't.
Globalist scum
He’s been sleeping with Tucker.
A cry of desperation for relevancy!
Hymn.......
EFF hymn.....
Does anybody know why Karl Rove thinks he’s the Republican Party? He’s been like this for over 20 years. Who employs him?
Same here.
This person who boasted about being all for Reagan back in 1980 and then it was discovered that he worked behind the scenes for GHWB against Reagan, lol.
Good. The RINOs have been losing the power struggle within the Republican party. Getting rid of the ones who remain is job #1. Taking on and beating Democrats is job #2.
“in the Texas Railroad Commission race”
Don’t give a rat’s rear about Karl Rove, but I REALLY do not care who he votes for in the “Texas Railroad Commission race”!
Fox News.
The “architect” would like to see beautiful architecture destroyed?
George W. Bush is an idiot. The only question is how much Rove and Cheney made Bush’s presidency even worse than it was.
Bush would have done better had he picked two random people off the street instead of those two.

He always struck me as a deceitful, bad person. For a while I thought it was just me. I guess we should thank him for finally vcoming clean on something.
Bigoted means you don’t hate White people
Racism means you don’t support White replacement
Karl, most people think you have already been voting Dem anyway, at least you have been spitefully voting Dem ever since the Age of Trump. The kind of petty thing someone like Bill Kristol would do.
Then in the body it says that he will vote Democratic in the Texas Railroad Commission race, not that he would vote Democrat across the board for things like Senate & House.
I somehow don't think the Texas Railroad Commission race in the grand scheme of things really matters
The only Democrat I ever voted for was for "Town Superintendent of Highways" only because I knew the Republican and he was a jerk.
Karl, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you on the TV, I don’t want you near my Android. When you go on a speaking tour, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there. You understand?
