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.

Really NOT trying to be anal BUT

in baseball speak ‘whiffed’ is strike out (or was)

Ted Williams had 7706 ABs and struck out 709 times which doesn’t really make it 60%

Like I say, not really trying to be anal but when the Umpire told the pitcher and catcher that when ‘they’ get around to throwing a strike, Mr Williams would let them know.
