ROVE: Put him back on the shelf

Karl Rove…never brilliant, a Bush loving political manipulator who dreamed of being the “architect of the Realignment of the Republican Party.” He has never gotten over the fact that the person who succeeded in realigning the party was Donald J. Trump. This was not supposed to happen. Rove has been wrong a LOT…from “Trump not being able to win the general election,” to “Trump has a high floor and a low ceiling…” (meaning he can win, but he can’t win “big”).

Rove assured us, “Republicans are going to have to have confidence in their conservative ideals and say, ‘we can take them to the Latino community, the African American community, the Asian community, young people…’” He was right there, and DJT delivered exactly as described, in a landslide. I would say the Republican party has definitely realigned under Trump, and I would say Karl Rove is a has-been, political hack and leaker who needs to be put on the shelf. He has zero credibility in my book, and the Murdocks are once again alienating their viewership on Fox News by asking Rove’s opinion on anything.
