Rove is the Mr McGoo of politics; going the wrong way every time.
Trump will win big here. If a pol criticizes Trump over this, Trump will can easily pull out the patriotism card which is still stronger than the race card or the PC card etc. if someone comes out in support of the NFL; he will say that he is taking a knee on the country. The media hypocrites will predictably cry free speech and Trump can say, sure, they can have free speech to empty stadiums! Trump can put the media on the defensive which is always a good thing.
Trump is not making any policy here; he’s simply using the bully pulpit very shrewdly and his enemies hate it.
anyone, how do I post a photo
