James Carville to Republicans: Rubio’s your only hope and you know it
Hot Air ^ | November 5, 2015 | Allahpundit

Via RCP, choose one: (a) “It’s a trap!” or (b) “They’ll tell you who they fear.” Actually, no, “they’ll tell you who they fear” is something righties say when Democrats are attacking a Republican, not praising him. They’ll tell you who they fear by how eager they are to tear that Republican down instead of building him up. Although … Democrats have been taking plenty of shots at Rubio lately, including the queen bee herself, so I dunno. Maybe he is the guy they fear. He’s the guy whom Bill Clinton fears, if you believe Ed Klein.

Carville’s goofy, though, if he believes Rubio’s the only top-tier Republican who can do better than 45 percent against a candidate as lame as Hillary, no matter how much money is rolling in for her. Even amid the tsunami of Bush fatigue and Hopenchange in 2008, even with a candidate as lackluster as McCain, ol’ Mav managed 45.7 percent versus Obama’s 52.9. Romney managed 47.2 percent and no one thinks Hillary will be able to mobilize the Obama coalition to the same extent that Team O did. What Carville’s really doing here is taking a dig at the rest of the current top-tier as sure losers — Trump, Carson, and Ted Cruz, about whom he’s had encouraging things to say in the not-very-distant past. (Was that a “trap” too?) The lefty read on Cruz is that he’s another Goldwater in the making, but the presupposition to that is that Hillary’s another LBJ and that she’d have a huge sympathy vote behind her as Johnson did a year after JFK’s death. She ain’t...

I’m tellin ya folks. Unity Ticket. Hillary and apparently Rubio. I thought Jeb but Rubio works.

But the dems cannot win on Hillary. The Gop cannot win on Rubio. With them on the same ticket they get the amnesty GOP/moderates that hate Hillary and Trump/Cruz and the whole of the Dems.

Notice all the talk of Unity lately? Think it’s by accident?

I agree. But don’t complain or be shocked about losing elections because that is the outcome. Hell, it’s the outcome now. Hmmm.

Our issues won’t matter until we are in power to even address them.

I wouldn’t brag about the “choices” the Dems have to offer, Mr. Gumbo.

Pat Caddell is about the only Democrat worth listening to about politics.

I think it will be obvious in the open Republican primaries when democrats vote in them for a candidate,that will tell us who they think the weakest candidate is.
They don’t need to vote in the democrat primary,Hillary has no competition

I have always believed that Caddell loves the country, we just disagreed on what was right.

The same can not be said of the current batch of democrats.
Pat Caddell is as out of place in the Dem party as a lamb in a lions den.

In my opinion, Carville has a HUGE crush on Hillary
Clinton. - His advice to Republicans is worth worse
than nothing. Always has been a Clinton Operative.
