"Woke" Karl Rove?

Who did that?!

"In the last 48 hours, Ted Cruz has reached out to me and says, We're losing,' Ken Paxton has sent me several emails saying, I'm losing, I need your help,'" Rove said.

"Even the Republicans are admitting that they're behind."

""If [U.S. Sen.] John Cornyn were the nominee, this race would be over. But when you've got a guy that has multiple girlfriends and $200,000 worth of improvements in his house from a corrupt business guy whom he does favors," Rove said.

"Can you make this ---- up? I mean, really."

Rove's colorful commentary didn't stop there. He also pledged to vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal in the race for Texas Railroad Commissioner instead of Bo French, whom he described as a "bigot."

The GOP isn't being taken over by Nazis.

It's already been taken over by Nazis and their oligarch wouldbe managers.

Very much on the old German model.

It is a sign of how bad things have gotten that Karl Rove sounds like a voice of sanity.

Awwwwww... the US's Goebbels is upset with his own creation... put an unarticulate fratfeck in charge of everything... and see what happens... republicl0wnz love that chit.

'If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier... as long as I'm the dictator. Hehehe.' GWB

Karl thought chit for brains was clever...

I trust him as far as I can throw MTG and Tucker with my bad arm.
Really... who gives a fatfeck what that pig thinks or does.

Rove WAS a Nazi not all that long ago.

So I guess he knows one when he sees one

I recall Mr Rove and Co getting a junior German Foreign Ministry official canned for pointing out similarities in rhetoric when he was in the White House.
