Donald Trump could end up destroying the Republican Party if he were to become the 2016 presidential nominee, famed strategist Karl Rove is warning party leaders.
With Trump rolling in the first few states to vote, and polls showing him with significant leads in other upcoming contests, it appears difficult to stop his momentum toward the nomination. He has generated the most enthusiasm among voters, many of whom are tired of the same establishment candidates.
That now has many within the Republican establishment worried, as evidenced by Karl Rove's address to major donors earlier this month. Rove, who led George W. Bush's winning campaigns, implored those in attendance that a Donald Trump candidacy would be a total disaster for the party, squandering the party's chance to take back the White House after Barack Obama leaves office....

I don’t need to do more research to recognize an offensive statement.
The Turd Blossom has withered, now he is just Turd.
Rove’s last stand.
I’d like to see Rove’s tax return!
Rove and George WIll and Romney and all of those types will soon be silenced forever. Trump’s time is now. The GOPe is for yesterday just like the Clintons. Things change.
The GOP is cutting its own throat.
Glad you put the /s
The GOPEers/GOP are what the now defunked WHIG PARTY was at the end of their time; only worse.
Rove the $300 million man with 0% successful rate. None of his candidate won
If you think Mike Murphy can make money picking losers and making a fortune check me out.
Never in a million years did I think Rove would ever endorse Trump. Thanks, Karl. Your derision and destructive plans should help Trump immensely.
Trump is not my first choice, but if Rove thinks what is destroying the party is Trump, they don’t know anything.
If Trump wins the delegates, I will vote for him.
I will never vote for establishment again. They only know how to lose.
Trump may be what we are looking for.... but not the road we expected to take....
Scenario 1: Trump gets the nomination through brute force and makes the Gope squeal. Does what he says and makes america great again. GOPe is forced to transform into a more conservative/nationalist party.
Scenario 2: Trump throws red meat out to get elected but once he takes office he becomes king crony of the cronies. He betrays he his base and pisses off every conservative who voted for him. Since he ran under the GOP banner he does so much damage the GOP party collapses as the lib rockefellers run to the DNC and the conservatives and reagan democrats who voted for trump unite to for a new party. ( kinda how the conservative torries and labour classic liberals are joining to form the UKIP in england.)
Personally i think scenario 2 will play out. But i would be happy to be wrong.
“Trump is in no way destroying the GOPe.”
There’s nothing more worthy of being destroyed than the GOPe. This is the year of the poison pill. Rip off the bandage. Suicide by Trump. (I can’t think of any more metaphors to mix.) RIP, GOP.
Last election cycle, Rove had 200 million to waste as none of the slugs came out on top.
Why do folks still trust this moe?
Nice. LOL!
The “stupid” is strong with “ifinnegin”. Don’t waste your time or energy responding / communicating with him/her/it because doing so will only lower your IQ.
Most the pity.
