"Three generations of imbeciles are enough" Oliver Wendell Douglas

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."

Mybe it wasn’t *just* Rove, but that was sure a big, big part of it. Ugh. That guy. Will nothing rid us of this meddlesome sh!thead?
Don’t get me started on 0. Counting the days…

Your rinos gave us the outrage ,Carl.
If I were to be completely honest, I do have an agenda. And that agenda is to do to leftists here what they try to do to America. Marginalize it.
During the height of Romneymainia, there was a group of hardcore bots that went out of their way, as you know, to browbeat anyone standing in the way of the liberal takeover of the gop. We all saw the ‘No matter What’ and ‘lesser evil’ ranting.
Today, several of those people are VERY quiet, only popping up randomly to repeat the same lies they tried fostering on FR 3 years ago. A couple have even admitted they were wrong.
We all pretty much know who those people are. When they pop up fully again over the next year, I can only hope enough people have seen the light with the PP sityation, the IRS stuff, the loss of Iraq, Bhenghazi and the rest, to shout those people down when they once again start making demands that we vote for liberals ‘no matter what’.
The only people that can save us and this country and ourselves FROM OURSELVES is us folks. We are either willing to do it or we aren’t.
Blinded & stunned. I am so glad my grandparents weren’t alive to see that day.
Show me where populist rage has accomplished something
THAT ^^^ has to be one of THE most absurd posts I’ve ever read on FR.
Don’t forget the all-out push for amnesty.
Lol....and true.
Amnesty without border control is like expecting a dam full of holes to keep out the river. Bush’s dispatching of national guard troops to the border without allowing them to have ammo for their guns was a perfect illustration of toothless, phony, pandering political sleight-of-hand..

Kasich brings extensive experience from his years in Congress and as a Governor. I understand his reign as governor has been criticized, but his record in Congress in helping to get the budget under control was pretty darned good.
Trump needs someone close to him who understands how things get done in Congress and having a person who also had substantial experience in running a state is just an added bonus.
Listen carefully and you can already hear that Trump holds Kasich in high regard.
I still vividly recall him publicly pouting about the Minutemen volunteers, calling them “vigilantes.” As if neighborhood watch groups are “vigilantes” also.
“Will the party choose a nominee with a conservative agenda or one reflecting populist anger?” “
By setting the argument up like this, does mean Rove endorses Ted Cruz?
Well then, that clue is too hard to pass up.
We’ll just choose the person who reflects the most populist outrage .. Hahahahahahahahahaha
Poor things .. they have no clue.
Not in a million years.
I just love those gals !!
Rove should ask himself why a candidate such as Trump is beating the pants off a candidate such as Jeb Bush. It is because he is offering specific changes on specific issues that are important to the voting public. Whether the candidate himself is even "conservative" is beside the point. Whether the candidate is pals with the heavy donors and Beltway power brokers in the media, positioned politically to dance either direction, skilled at compromise and going along, all that is beside the point. Trump is popular through a very simple message that these things are wrong and need to be altered, now. Bush is getting his lunch eaten because his message is that he intends to get everything that is currently wrong done a little bit differently, but accomplished in the end. The heavy donors, the lobbyists, the establishment love him. The voters think he sucks.
In his defense, Rove considers that getting his man into office is necessary if he's to do any good, and this is legitimate. Our concern is that the man he intends to get into office won't do any good. That's a very different and far more persuasive viewpoint.
