Psychopaths do not have goals that reach much beyond themselves and their own very narrow interests. I believe Rove saw the Republican Party as a vehicle for his own self-aggrandizement, not as an entity of independent value. In a sense, the Republicans were his victims too. He, like his mentor Atwater before him, debased the party as well as the nation. He may have built a huge edifice, but the building blocks were made of a variety of dried shit that will not stand for long in the sunlight of scrutiny and the rains of political adversity.
