Karl Rove: Donald Trump Would Get 'Creamed' Up Against Hillary Clinton
The Huffington Post ^ | /12/2015 11:44 am ET | Ashley Alman

Karl Rove, who served as an adviser to former President George W. Bush, warned Republicans that nominating Donald Trump could be a death wish for the party.

In a Wall Street Journal column published Friday, Rove acknowledged Trump's consistently strong standing among Republicans in the polls, and the impressively high percentage of backers -- 46 percent, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll -- who say they won't stray from Trump before the primaries.

Hitting Trump for his antics -- citing the Republican presidential candidate's beef with Fox News host Megyn Kelly and insults of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for being captured in Vietnam -- Rove lamented that there's seemingly no line Trump can cross to lose the backing of his loyal supporters, who "eat up stuff like that."

But in a matchup against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the general election, Rove wrote, Trump would get "creamed." He called Trump a "dream candidate" for the Democratic Party.

"Although Mr. Trump's antics may not drive away his current supporters, they make him unlikely to win the White House," he wrote.

It could very well be the opposite, it would be Hillary to get creamed.

Death wish? The GOPe doesn’t need Trump for that. They are doing just fine on their own.

Well I guess we’re doomed.

Because if anyone can accurately predict outcomes, it’s the fat, bloated idiot, Karl Rove.

Utter nonsense from Rove. I am amazed how easily these self-serving politicos start believing their own propaganda.

I would expect so with the Republicans allowing the Kenyan to import thousands of freeloading DemocRAT voters into my country every day.

Whistling past the graveyard.

Rove is getting his ass handed to him. Anything he says from here on out is sour grapes.

He’s sure trying, isn’t he? His gravy train is about to be derailed. Also, before each of his appearances on Fox or any other news outlet, he should be made to declare who his big fat superPAC is donating money to.

Dear Karl Rove,

The only people running speaking for the American people are not the candidates you support. America has had enough of GOPe's caviing in to democrats.

Karl Rove? That name sounds familiar for some reason. Was he on Laugh In? Maybe not. I’m sure it’ll come to me later.

Actually Hillary has huge negatives and anyone who thinks that Trump isn’t going to pound on her like Gold plated baseball bat is deluded. He’s going to force the media to deal with all the nasty Clinton baggage. He’s not going to be afraid to bring up things like Bill’s rapist sex harassing past. He’s not going to be afraid to hit a biatch and make her look like the wicked witch she is. It may be a disgusting mud filled race but my bets are on Trump winning it.
