for the Trump pig.

Rove was the old playbook. That playbook won't work with Trump. You can't do a bunch of anti gay marriage referendums to drive up conservative turnout this time Karl.

and loves dirty tricks so he would fit right in but I hope just like Barr, he is not as good as he used to be at hiding his stunts. We will be looking for everything coming out of the Trump campaign and his administration.

He could sabotage Trump.

Yeah, he stole two presidential elections, but those were for institutional conservatives.

Really sad to see what some good old-fashioned paranoia will get you. A wannabe king but an all-around loser.

Well, it's doomed based on the two cardinal rules of life in the Turd Reich:


Rule 1: Nobody tells the Tangeranus what to do.
Rule 2: Anything King Crap Midas touches goes to crap.




It's an amusing theory of theirs, but, historical precedent is on our side.

to April levels, and of course the already high death count will get higher by Nov. There's going to have to be shutdowns again in some of those southern and western states. Not looking good turd blossom or orange turd.

And if Rove is working for trump he's just making himself even more despicable than he already was. Why isn't he with the Lincoln Project guys?

He won't be in that job very long.

And, there's no way he can get Trump to stick to a script.
