Trump is a fool; Rove was the ‘magnificient bastard’ time and time yet again.
Rove's an overated @$$!
In 2000, he inched out a victory in Florida to have Bush barely beat the corrupt clown of a VP of an impeached president.
In 2004 the SwiftVets faught & won the battle over a fraud of war hero who was actually and demonstratably either a useful idiot or agent of America's enemies since Vietnam. And FR exposed his in the tank media in the Rather-National-Guard-Memo capper. Rove/Bush did NOTHING in both cases.
As for the Bush administration's governance from 2001-2007: Cheney was central to everything good (War on Terror & foreign policies). Rove was central to everything rotten (domestic policies as Immigration reform & Harriet Miers SCOTUS nomination).
To a conservative, Rove is even less reliable than Trump. But RINOs always loved him.
Karl Rove is toxic; Rove is a limp wristed panty waist who’s lost all credibility with the GOP base.
