Weird that he would name-check McGovern like that. I mean, does anybody with half a brain really think we would have “won” Vietnam if we had just “stayed the course” and let Nixon bomb the shit out of whoever he wanted to?
P.S. – I just recently read Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail ’72, which is about McGovern’s failed attempt to unseat Nixon. Very sobering stuff.
People always forget, too, that McGovern was a decorated WWII veteran who got smeared as a nancy-boy peacenik, just as Vietnam veterans Gore and Kerry were, years later.

Those were Rove’s formative years.
