I never knew that Karl Rove could be likable for 20 minutes.

Karl Rove is a massive piece of the machine that got us here. Him, Gingrich, O’Reilly, Rush. All criminals.

you are delusional about Trump. we in NY do not see him as a folk hero

[coreygrua]

Do we ever need more YTs like this one! Thank you, Atlantic. I once heard a retired Republican governor praise the activist wife of his Democratic predecessor with all sincerity. There were no reporters in the room. I thought, is this the way he is really thinking? Then there is Tip O’Neil and Ronald Reagan. And, in the midst of a riot, Rodney King says, “Can’t we all just get along?”

We can survive a Harris presidency, but we can't survive a Trump one.

MONEY OUT OF POLITICS AND PUNDITRY SO WE CAN HAVE POLITICIANS AND PUNDITS WHO ACTUALLY CARE FOR AND HELP THE 99% PLEASE!! 😤😤

[dvdv]

Two complete shills and hacks... What did i expect. 🙂

Anyways, don't get complacent. Vote!!

The fact that you can attempt a coup and be running for president four years later does not bode well for the country.

[derekelliott]

As somebody commented previously, Rove is all sweetness and light here but he's still supporting Trump for president and that belies any pretense of a reasonable perspective

[tomschneider]

There is a real comedian hidden within Karl Rove. I saw him years ago during the Bush years rapping on a stage and he was really good at it.
