Longtime political strategist Karl Rove is warning Republicans not to nominate a presidential candidate that reflects the same "populist anger" that gave birth to the rise of Donald Trump.
In his latest op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Rove explained the GOP will have two choices when delegates gather in Cleveland, Ohio, next July to determine which remaining Republican hopeful they wish to see challenge Democrats in the general election.
"Will the party choose a nominee with a conservative agenda or one reflecting populist anger?" Rove wrote.
"The two are hardly the same," he noted. "Conservative principles provide a winning path to the White House. Populist outrage alone will end in defeat."

Uhhh.....don’t the voters choose, by electing delegates who support their favored candidate? Rove sure is showing his true un-Anerican agenda.

From the article...
“Will the party choose a nominee with a conservative agenda or one reflecting populist anger?” Rove wrote.
How about both?
Rove is part of the inside the beltway bubble thinking

STFU Karl. Populist outrage is there for a reason. It comes right before popular uprising and then.....revolution.

I don’t know what the rules are beyond the first vote at a convention. If the GOPe derails Trump, it could be the end of the party.

Yes, pick a candidate that has no fire in the belly or a desire to win. Pick a McCain or a Rommney once again and watch Hillay or whoever is the rat nominee win in November 2016.

People still pay attention to Karl Rove???
