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."

Republicans......the rank and file.....not the elitist scum like YOU, Dough Boy, that choses a candidate. It’s called a primary.
Geeeze...... it’s time to take the party back.
Now he's just...
Dear Mr. Karl (Tokyo) Rove, haven’t you figured it out yet?
We ‘the plebisite’ no longer listen to you exclusively.
You’re not the only Ice Cream Vendor anymore. We have choices now, real choices.
You are fine for historical reference, but not expected to be our ‘Sermon on the Mount’ guy anymore. Run along now, Karlio. Don’t you have some White Boards that need cleaning or erasers that need clapping? I think W. has been looking for you. I’m sure no one else is.
Rove and GOP won elections by telling conservative leader what they wanted to hear but never follow through with conservative action. The electorate has wised up.
“I wonder who changed ... him or us?”
The world has changed, and he hasn’t. That’s the problem.
Rove wouldn’t know a conservative if it bit him on his big butt!
We ARE outraged! No more “moderate” tomato cans to be kicked around by the Democrats...We need a FIGHTER!!!
He was always a bastard, and I don’t remember a time when I didn’t think so.
Boy how that used to tweak the Bush-bots...
Of course Rove doesn’t want you to use your brain....good heavens, if you did that you would notice how full of poop Rove is and vote for YOUR own person....LMAO!!!
So, Mr. Piggy, Jeb has conservative principles? The GOPE has lost their way on conservatism. Trump’s illegal immigration policy has more conservatism in it’s little finger, than Jeb has in his entire hand. Go away Tokyo Rove - you are a loser. And, oh yeah, take your little white board with you.
Sounds like something Yeb! would say.
Here’s what the Stump 4 Trump girls have to say about Bush -

No Karl you lying POS by the time of the Convention the GOP voters will have picked a nominee through the primary system and the convention will simply make it official.
isn’t it about time for old Karl to have an accident ?
Then, his guy Jeb has as much chance of getting elected as I do. How does he plan to address that?
If he plans to back a winner, he needs to look elsewhere.
Heh, remembering the mania of the time,
you must have been a pariah hereabouts.

The GOPe should have listened to us just a little bit since we gave you most of the governorships, then the House, and then the Senate.
It’s not “anger”. It’s just housecleaning. Time to take out the trash.
“Yes, pick a candidate that has no fire in the belly or a desire to win. Pick a McCain or a Romney once again and watch Hillary or whoever is the rat nominee win in November 2016.”
It seems only Trump will know how to defeat the media. And if you can’t defeat the media you cannot win.
And is there any other candidate who would advocate “Merry Christmas” as a talking point? That is an example of Trump having the honesty to puncture the leftist narrative which has scared so many.
