fighting back
Rove wouldn’t understand.

| 2016 | Donald J. Trump | 304 |
what you said +++++ hit the nail on the head!
Karl Rove says he has no idea.
Best description of him yet. A man living on a reputation he never earned.
Message to Mr Rove:
Yes we know Karl, you have been “unaware” of many things for a long time.
After GWBush left office, I commented to you, in comments on some WSJ on editorials you wrote, that the best thing for you and the GOP would be for you to go away. So again, please, just go away.
He has opened a can of worms with unending consequences for the Democrats and especially for Black America. When this is carried on and on, only a black dolt will vote democrat.
It is now politically correct to pile on everything black that is politically bad.
Political correctness is out the window
Cue the fat white guy and all the race pimps. Make them defend the horrific conditions of their cities and their theft of funds meant for the poor folks.
Brilliant classic Trump.
Did you guys see this Vanity Fair article about Rove and Trump (and Pence)?

Karl Rove says of Bush winning West Virginia: “Bob Dole had lost it by 15 points four years earlier. The last time it had gone for Republicans in an open-seat presidential race was 1928, and it took nominating a New York Catholic to bring all the Methodists and Presbyterians and Baptists out of the hills and hollows of West Virginia to vote Republican.”
I couldn’t believe it when I read this.
Karl Rove, who gets paid to do this, didn’t know that West Va was prior to the depression a Republican leaning state? Carried by the GOP in 7 of the 8 elections prior to 1928? Including 1924 when the Democratic nominee was FROM WEST VIRGINIA!!! And that therefore Hoover winning the state was unremarkable and that indeed he only lost it by 10 points 4 years later when FDR was kicking his ass?
I know I’m an electoral history nerd but....this dude practically wrote (or maybe even did write) a book about McKinley and 1896 being a realigning election. That’s the election when West VA went (back) to the GOP!
Was he deliberately misleading Trump about his prowess (”look at me I flipped West VA which NEVER went Republican before”)?
