Bush got dragged across the finish line in spite of Karl Rove's strategy. The Swift Boat Vets were the ones who called Kerry out. Others hit him with the "flip flops."
Rove gave advice to Jeb Bush.
So Rove is no good because he doesn’t have a 100% win record?
Was Ted Williams a lousy hitter because he whiffed 60% of the time?
Was Trump a lousy businessman because some of his ventures flopped?
Look, I’m not here to defend Rove. I sure don’t want him running Trump’s campaign. But I’m not about to say that, since he’s Karl Rove he has NOTHING to offer of value.
