He managed to keep a seat in Mississippi from going conservative by working with the Democrats.

“How did Rove do in 2014?”

Rove and his ilk knew 2014 was shaping up to be a wave year, and they were fearful that a number of conservatives would be swept into power. So he successfully got the most moderate candidates nominated across the country (Tillis, Rounds, Daines, Gardner, etc). AND he and LaTourette saw to it that any challengers to incumbents were defeated, or supported spoilers to water down the conservative vote so moderates or incumbents would win.

Yes, you could say that Rove was successful in 2014. And the current Congress is the result, passing one Obama agenda item after another, with duplicity and glee!
