Rove doesn’t understand that he has made a fool of himself and has all but rendered himself “over”. He misunderstands who is the rank and file of this party. The very people he has to win over for the sake of whatever candidate he is advising, are exactly the people he is alienating every time he opens his mouth.
Which is fine with me, since I don’t want whatever it is he’s selling.
Rove was the “master of the middle”. He is the expert in getting the moderates to vote for your side.
Problem for Rove is that there is no longer much remaining of the squishy middle. They have moved to the right in the face of the unbridled Bolshevism of the Obamabots. So now he’s left with an expertise in the political equivalent of making buggy whips.
