Funny. It wasn’t that long ago where every other Freeper was saying...”Rove. You magnificent bastard”. What happened to the bastard?
A lot of that stopped after the 2006 midterms. That was even before the Giuliani wars of 2008. ;)
If you consider over 12 years “not that long ago”
Please tell me which conservative ever said that?
Since 2000 Rove is seen as a competent strategist. His only claim to such is that he correctly recognized that almost all of the millions registered to vote and gotten to the polls in 1994 by MoralMajority/ChristianCoalition had voted in any election between 1995 and 1999. Rove successfully got just enough of them back to squeek through the 2000 election.
Beyond that, he is no different from any CLI graduate.
Trump should recognize that some like CJ Pearson are effectively converting Democrats to Conservatives ... and on the road to Republican. What Black Democrat has Rove ever converted?
I remember those days. Rove was a clever strategist in the post Clinton-era but I don’t remember being overly impressed.
