So if Karl Rove was so brilliant, why didn't he understand this and invite, rather than ban, Tom Tancredo from the White House?

Karl Rove is a legend in his own mind. Bush and Rove's push for anmesty divided the GOP and helped the Dems brand it as a racist party.

We had the sorry spectacle of people like Karl Rove and Lindsey Graham castigating their fellow Republicans who opposed amnesty using such epithets as bigots, racists, and nativists. These criticisms just reinforce the Democrat branding of the GOP and alienate minorities who perceive that they are not welcome in the party. Moreover, being branded as a “racist” political party hurts the GOP in recruiting new members, regardless of race or ethnicity. America is not a racist country and no one wants to be associated with a racist organization.
