"No Drama Obama". Staying out of it brilliantly.

6. Karl Rove 101, Kerry vs. Bush

Rove's playbook for Kerry was very simple: Define the playing field, get your opponent on non-stop offense so there is no time for defense.

So with Kerry, you had two key elements: the Swift Boating fiasco, and "I was for it before I was against it."

Rove kept hammering both memes non-stop, which "energized" the Bush camp.

Trump has set up Obama as an opponent in a political race that's not running. That doesn't mean that he's lost his desire to discredit the former President.

We have not heard the last of Barack Obama's fictitious "acts."

Bannon and company will trot him out every time Trump digs himself deeper in the hole.

And with enablers like Nunes, it will remain the narrative of whatever remains of the Trump "presidency."

One fictitious act after another will be created to play into the clueless hands of the red hat crowd.
