His daughter to be VP. They have been pushing to get her elected to something, and this would work perfectly for them.

Hillary is really much more his style. He loves war and big corporations, she loves war and big corporations - they're made for each other. Hell, they could be running mates.

…..about the history of what went down and for sure Rove has a kind of crush on W, but can't imagine Rove being able to give up being the power behind the power.

What a perfect image for what has happened to this country it would be to have an election in which Rove is Trump's Brain!

why not bring him back to power for this potential emperor.

Guess it will depend on whether or not the election is rigged again.

And in so doing, Donald Trump picked up the all-important "ignorant white racists who still think Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 who haven't died from homelessness and lack of healthcare yet, who weren't already supporting Trump" demographic.
