I'd say Rove isn't exactly beating the a$$ of his stated goal-- it's kinda kicking his A$$ at the moment.
Sadly and regrettably, Bush and Rove have permanently taken themselves out of the hall of conservative heroes. He is gonna be another President, like his Dad, that future republicans will win their seats in spite of.
Sadly, this pick makes impossible Bush and Rove's goal of building and leaving a movement-building legacy.
The GOP will have to pick up the pieces after this Presidency. Hopefully, President Hillary Clinton won't be his legacy.
I guess you felt strongly about this post.
