James Carville: I want to give you an example of the problem here. A few weeks ago, Binyamin Appelbaum, an economics writer for the New York Times, posted a snarky tweet about how LSU canceled classes for the National Championship game. And then he said, do the

Thanks for doing your part Carville.

They (leftards) would like to forget his greatest quote:
It’s the Economy Stupid.

Because it applies to President Trump even more than billybob.

They always act so surprised when their Frankenstein breaks free of its chains.

Occasionally Carville makes sense. New Yorkers attitude towards the south is something so archaic it is hard to imagine. I know now since several of my friends from there have visited.

LSU has a few former athletes who are part of the 1%. They do okay in that dept.

They lost their D... minds when the philosophy profs started deconstructing the ancient definitions 120 years ago. What we have today is just the fruit of it.

I’m pulling for Buttplug. In a national election the PC crowd is in for a rude awakening.

He’s the only one that worries me. The rest are easily beatable. But too many folks are afraid of being called homophobes.

...afraid of being called homophobes.

Of course when they are alone in the voting both they are thinking "No way in hell I'm voting for a queer!" Hollywood is trying to mainstream gayness through its movies but the only effect it has on me is to make sure I skip watching.

He’s a very smart political tactician that represents a very different era in Dem history, and for a type of candidate that the Democrats will not run again for a long time if ever.

What country do you live in? Are you serious or just overthinking?

Carville is spot on here, but the unmistakable takeaway is not that he is upset his party has gone full tilt leftist but that his comrades have let their masks slip.

Absolutely right.

He’s not against leftism.

He’s against leftists being seen as leftists and thereby losing elections.

Exactly.

Carville doesn’t care about issues or policies or plans or all that gobbletygook other than as it serves to get someone elected. He is a purebred political animal, what a candidate really believes isn’t important - what they say in order to get elected is what’s important. We cynics find his honesty refreshing - no bs, jut pure Machiavellianism.

If the Dems had a Bill Clinton candidate who would do what people like Carville tell him to do (”it’s the economy, stupid!”) instead of acting like the latest incarnation of Stalin, we’d have a real fight on our hands.

O.K. I read some of it, and it changed my mind.

Carville isn’t right, like I was thinking, when he says the Dems are crazy. He’s just a different kind of crazy.

He thinks the “fate of the world!” depends on the Donk agenda. In what possible way?

The Dem issues he’s lamenting as political losers ARE the Dem agenda. If they’re not getting you the majority you want, James, its probably because they’re terrible and unneeded ideas.

He is right about New Yorkers, though.

I did not expect to like Trump as much as I do, knowing how fond he is of New York City.

True - he just doesn’t want them to talk about who they really are.

He said the rats are coming off as arrogant and think they’re smarter than everyone else. Who can blame them - they’ve gotten away with lying, not keeping promises, enriching themselves while keeping their constituents as “victims” they pander to at election time - and they keep getting elected. The GOPe hasn’t fought this game because the status quo profits them too.

Finally we have a man who is re-setting this whole dirty game - as best he can despite their obstruction.

The clintonista reptiles are slithering out from under their rocks. Hillary can’t can’t be far behind.
