Carville: Trump Has "The Validation Of The People"
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 8, 2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 11/09/2016 7:26:58 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Longtime Clinton backer James Carville reacts to the apparent outcome of the 2016 election.

JAMES CARVILLE: Shaky is about as optimistic a word as I can see right now. I think this is, if this thing goes where it looks like, where I hope it doesn't go, people gotta understand, this election is gonna have consequences like you can't believe.

I was looking with Steve Schmidt's presentation and I think Steve was, if anything, optimistic. Donald Trump now has the authority of an election behind him.

It's the biggest thing that you can have in a democracy.

You can't -- this is not an antiseptic event. This is now-- He has the validation of the people.

He said what he was running on. It was pretty clear what he was offering. You know, obviously I'm -- you can imagine, I'm distraught about the entire thing. I feel terrible for a lot of my friends. But what is here tonight is hard to put into perspective. We're going to have one party ruling this country, and Obamacare is done. Dodd/Frank is done. The diplomatic and financial consequences, I'm looking at the futures, they're going to go further.

It's hard to imagine what this means.

There's no sense and sugar-coating it to people. I think Wisconsin is very problematic... And if you just look at what it is, I hate to say it, but I hope, please god let me be wrong...

Can’t stand snakehead... but he does occasionally have lucid moments where he regains his grip on reality.

Guess that means ok-sometimes. But then what else can he say? Got their butts kicked and there’s no defending it.

After marriage to my wife and the birth of my children, this has been one of the greatest days of my life. Go Trump!

I wonder. Carville knows the true value of this Winn. Maybe he’s aware of the cheating Trump overcame

Don't forget about the Iran deal, serpent-head. And the trade agreements.

Wisconsin has been stolen by the democrat madison milwaukee chicago cheating machines since at least 08.

Thats what has been very problematic. We woulda been R the last three if they hadnt been busing up IL voters to illegaly vote, and the rinos hadnt put up such massively terrible candidates that hate and wage war on conservatives.

My wife and I were on vacation in Vegas and were walking early in the morning down the Strip and Carville jogged by. We said, “Was that Carville?” I yelled “James!” And he turned around and I yelled “You’re WRONG!” He kept jogging.

Carville’s meltdown was one of the nights gems. This was a long time coming for us Reps, to see the bastard eat his own face off. It was so great, only thing better would have been for him to spontaneously combust! But then, they’d have to cut to commercial, and I didn’t want to miss a second of it. Awesome!

Carville has been spectacularly wrong several times now. He belongs to an establishment elite that has no capacity or desire for introspection. It can never be “their” fault.

“It’s the biggest thing that you can have in a democracy.”

They should be reminded, as often as possible that USA is a “Republic” - arguably not a “democracy” - as some say. Please be specific.

Well thanks so much for your input that no one asked for, James, now shut your snake ass up.

Carville has stopped dragging a dollar bill through a trailer park? Never give a rabid liberal credit, never— especially this one. He is always wrong. Remember this book, Forty More Years? We have short memories. https://www.amazon.ca/40-More-Years-Democrats-Generation-ebook/dp/B0026WNGBU/ref=sr_1_15?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1478749173&sr=1-15&keywords=james+carville

“I think Wisconsin is very problematic.”

WTF is he talking about?

Aside from that, I actually hope he’s right about a lot of what he’s predicting.

Who cares what Steve Schmidt thinks? Warmed-over, retread, phony so-called election strategist. Look what he did for McCain. He’s in the same class as Bob Beckel.
