Tony Lee reports:  After wasting nearly $325 million during the 2012 election cycle with nothing to show for it and then declaring war on the Tea Party, donations to Karl Rove‘s three Crossroads groups decreased by 98% last year. The groups reportedly raised a paltry $6.1 million combined in 2013.

“Rove’s organization has been so tarnished among the conservative base that candidates fear donors will not contribute to any group associated with him.”
