Karl Rove is the biggest loser on earth, and along with him are the Bushes, the Clintons, the Obumas, and the media, GOPe, and talking heads....

Trump won that debate, no question about it....

How disingenuous of the WSJ to allow Karl Rove, a strong (in the tank) Jeb supporter, to write a hit piece on Trump and act like it’s an unbiased assessment of the debate.
