If I were Karl Rove, I'd be very, very scared.

He just bilked some very rich people out of tens of millions of dollars, giving them promises he could not keep. I think I'd be hiding somewhere right now. Truly. I've met Sheldon Adelson. He's not a friendly guy.

My question is how much he skimmed. That may be their question, too. Skimming ain't a good thing.

They may try to funnel it through 501 (c)s, but I don't think they'll get away with it in the end.

I won't ever meet him again, but if I did I'd say, "So, Shelly, how'd that Romney thing work out for ya?"

I take such a delight in this, it is unreal. This is clearly the greatest election I have ever been a part of, even better than 08, because the cons knew deep down they were going to lose that one. Rove & company are still shell shocked!! Suckers!!!! I just wish I could hear the call with Rove and the turds supporting his super pacs.

Trump is a blowhard nobody with no political clout whatsoever.

He doesn't even realize that the vast majority in this country think he's an idiot.

he's winding up his lawyers to take a run at suing Obama for 50 quardrillibillobibbity dollars for ruining his good name, as is par for the course for Trump. Blowhard moran.

is that of a grifter. He snookered billionaires out of serious money and they got nothing in the deal. They won't see it as a bad investment, a risk. They will see it as losing money, prestige, and power.

Ham Rove totally dropped the ball. He was supposed to make sure Ohio went to Romney, right?

It sure looks suspicious, anyway.
Speculate away. Nothing is too dirty or unethical for that creep.
