Karl Rove must have been pained to write that column!

What the heck?

So much for the #NeverTrumpers.

Since it’s Rove saying it, this doesn’t bode well for Trump.

Well Rove does have the right to be wrong from time to time.

The parade has passed him by and he is sprinting to catch up to pretend he is leading it.

“Since it’s Rove saying it, this doesn’t bode well for Trump.”

Indeed. But I console myself with the (perhaps unwarranted) optimistic view that even a blind pig finds an acorn every once in a while.

Yes, Hillary needs to stay in the race. The shadenfruede of watching a Category 5 hurricane Trump reduce her to rubble would be epic.

Perhaps is more like he got of the Romney-Bush-Cruz-Ryan Train before it goes over the cliff.
