FOAD, Karl.
Karl Rove is something of a squish, as hard to nail down as a scoop of Jell-O. Never firmly in favor of Trump, his passive and tepid support of Trump only came along with a slavish belief in the supremacy of the Establishment wing of the Republicans, the stereotypes that are so actively promoted by both sides of the political aisle. Rove is fond of ducking behind his whiteboard discussions, and has no interest whatsoever in discussing points of policy, even as strategy.
