Not a fan of the administration Rove was a part of, but that was an interesting interview for someone who's into history. Thanks.

Im a direct descendant of William Jennings Bryan! 🇺🇸👍🙏 my cousin was the better candidate the reason why he was kept out of the US Presidency three different times of being nominated because the Rockefellers were backing his opponents

Whether Republic or Democrat we have to face something that I think Rove is bringing out, and that is we potentially have a race in November between a Republican that 65% of all respondents have a negative opinion of vs a Democratic candidate that 58% of all respondents have a negative opinion of. We cannot keep going down this road and not be changed as a people. Changes will be made and they won't necesarily be good

I think that quote on the pocketknives is from Henry Clay

I'm from Niles/Youngstown and nobody knows nothing about McKinley. A few streets are named after him, but nothing distinct. Shame.

This interview from Mr Robinson to Mr Rove's book is very interesting and productive. Because I am fully aware and understand why the unity of the Republican party as well as our country' leaderships as well as to Americans are so important. The whole important issue is President McCainly's great governing leadership experiences to unite all Americans together, own party together, even different partisanship to work together for America's own foundations, constitutions and unity as well as our country's own security and safety issues and prosperity. Mr Rove's book makes great sense for any leadership experiences needed, or experienced leaderships to remember the strength of the unity by America's own foundations and constitutions for America's own greatness and success as the principles. America's greatness has been come from this way. I bought this book and love it very much and give to someone else to read it after I finished reading. Because I learned much from this great book. I also believe that all of us as Americans or governing leadership servents may also need to understand thhe importance of the unity of America as one nation under God by America's own foundations and constitutions as our own generous mind of the forgiveness and appreciations for each other's services and contributions for our country.

In a Capitalism country of equality of the opportunity, become richer, or rich, or very rich or super rich are based on each other's educations, knowledge learning, hard working, or sometime just purely the luck. Without the rich, or very rich, or super rich, poor have no jobs, without hard working poor, rich can't continue their entrepreneurship too. This is what the Capitalism systems for. I believe that hard working spirit is extremely important for self, families and country's greatness. I believe the promotion of entrepreneurship spirit is very important as the greatness of our country. I also believe that bring poor to live better as proud Americans are also very important as part of taking care of Americans 1st too. In order to balance between this and make America to be able to compete with others and remain as the great country always, the better strategies by wisdom may never should be ignored. I bought Mr. Rove's book and finished reading it. This is why It helps me to understand his views, thought and vision. If without 911 incident happened, President Bush absolutely would be able to achieve the peek of the economy, because, President Bush believes in the liberty and entrepreneurship principles.

And the Republican party should not ignore the White vote. Rove's coalition, geographically, was the same as Bryan's. Gore's coalition was more similar to McKinley's.

[dukerwong]

It's easy to make mistakes, harder to achieve the goals. It's extremely hard to forgive. Certainly I don't mean to forgive the crimes acording to the principles. However, if we can unite as many people as we can by our own generous mind of the forgiveness, we'll feel the sky is bluer and the sunshine is warmer and much cheerful atmosphere. This is why I believe the principles, loyalty, honesty, sincereness and kindness to be who we are as human natures just like America's own natures of own foundations, constitutions and unity. Surely Mr. Rove's much loyalty to our country America and America's own principals of the foundation, constitutions and unity as well as to President Reagan's legacy, President Bush 41 and President Bush 43's services for only one reason that he understands that our country America is important to Americans' prosperity. President Reagan, President Bush 41 and President Bush 43 are not only lead and govern by their great governing leadership experiences, also they led and governed by principles, loyalty, honesty, sincereness and kindness under America's own foundations of the Capitalism systems of liberty and entrepreneurships and constitutions as well as our country's own unity by America's own patriotism and loyalty as the principles.

Either Robinson doesn't like Rove or he's bored with hearing him speak.

Bill Bryan would've been bringing about new deal style reforms 40 years before they came about had he won
