Rove got all the praise a few years back, as the “Magnificent Rove”. Looks like he isn’t as magnificent as we thought. This coming convention is going to be nasty.
Eh, if you understand him for what he is, it’s tough to get upset at what he does. He’s a Republican strategist. His job was to get Republicans elected at all costs. Not conservatives. He was never a champion of the conservative cause.
We aligned ourselves with Rove last decade because he got his Republican (again, far from conservative) in office and was aligned with us against the Democrats. Now, he’s working to get what the polls say is the easiest path forward for a Republican to get in the white house.
Conservatism and the Tea Party mean nothing to him. So what? That’s his job, I guess. I can’t get mad at him for doing what we all know he’ll do, because then it’s our fault for expecting any different.
