Karl Rove Talks William McKinley, Presidential Politics And Trump

When Karl Rove set out to win the White House with George W. Bush in 2000, the role model he used for guidance had been dead for nearly a century. On this edition of Up To Date, Rove talks about  the "revolutionary" William McKinley and weighs in on Donald Trump's presidential prospects.

Karl Rove will be in conversation with Steve Kraske at  7 p.m. on Wednesday, December 8 about Rove's New Book 'The Triumph of William McKinley: Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters.' For information, call Rainy Day Books at 913-384-3126.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
