Rove and Limbaugh

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

Another week, another set of brand name guests to debate the issues of the day. This week, first up is Karl Rove who stops by the discuss his terrific new book, The Triumph of William McKinley: Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters. How is an election held a 120 years ago relevant today. "The Architect" spills the beans. Then, our old friend David Limbaugh (AKA El Rushbro) cruises by to educate us on why Ted Cruz is the GOP's last best hope. Also, some thoughts on Good Friday. Thank goodness.

Music from this week’s episode:

Cruisin' by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles

    Karl Rove's lecture on this at AEI was very good. The constant characterization of Rove as some sort of non-conservative betrayer because he lived in Washington for all of two terms and then spent most of his time back in Texas is really a symbol of how we have deteriorated on the Right.

    And the defamation of American Crossroads, a perfectly fine center-right PAC that has done a lot of yeoman work on our side along with CFG is really self-defeating.

    Can I just ask what you think about this?
