James Carville Rages Over State of Democratic Party: ‘I’m Scared to Death!’
The Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | February 4th, 2020 | Justin Baragona

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville sounded the alarm bells on Tuesday night over what he described as the Democratic Party turning into an “ideological cult,” specifically singling out would-be presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

In the wake of Monday night’s chaotic Iowa Democratic caucus that featured delayed vote results due to a faulty app, Carville appeared on MSNBC to warn that regardless of the final tallies, the Dems appear to be in big trouble.

“The polling averages have not been very good the last 10 days,” he sighed. “And I’ve seen some pretty good polls that show enthusiasm among Democrats is not as high as we would like it. So there’s something as people are watching this process that is concerning.”

Saying the party needs to “wake up and make sure that we talk about things that are relevant to people,” the former Clinton adviser grumbled that he is “not very impressed” with the Democratic field and suggested DNC chair Tom Perez should be canned.

After complaining that the campaigns “have to be more relevant,” Carville—who is backing longshot presidential hopeful Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO)— was asked if he would get behind Sanders if the progressive senator ended up getting the nomination.

“Well, I’ll get behind him. I have no choice,” an unenthused Carville replied. “But look at the British Labour Party. We’re like talking about people voting from jail cells. We’re talking about not having a border. I mean, come on, people.”

I highly recommend watching all of Tucker’s show from 12/5. Especially the segment with Brad Wright the starts at about the 25 minute mark. Some great thoughts on the Dems current situation.

The Democrat Party is young storm troopers/Red Guards, Islamists and Reconquista supremacists. There are some rich white guilters, poor blacks and exotic LGBTQWERTY alphabet people, but they are useful idiots who will get swept away in the revolution.

THAT’S SCARY SINCE THE DEMS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE CARVILLE, BEGALA, AND POPODOPOULUS PLAYBOOK. THE DNC HAS BEEN SCREWED BY SAID ADVISERS. IT APPEARS THE DNC HAS ALLOWED LOSERS LIKE SCHIFFTY, NADLER AND SCHUMER TO RUN THE OPERATION.

We can expect an unending string of negative comments against the current potential nominees, until such time as her royal thighness is coronated. These political hacks/operatives will continue to beat the drums against any frontrunner, with the idea that they are unelectable in the general election.

They are creating the presumption in the Democratic hierarchy that nobody currently running gives the Dems a chance. What better way to tar the current nominees, prior to the convention? The inevitability of Clinton seeking to hijack the Dem convention is alive and running on all cylinders.

My newly Berning never voted before brother says “everyone” out there in the world that he’s talking to is for Bernie. He’s super confident Bernie would win the election with ease.

This belief is held by all Berners.

Oh sure they have.

It is such a hoot to watch these Communists trash others in the demoncRat party for being a Communist.

Bernie is shooting for the same bulls-eye they are. By trashing him, they're trying to fool the public into thinking some of them don't actually agree with his goals. FAiL!

Thanks for the link. Bryan Dean Wright starts at 21:45. I hope there are a lot more Democrats like him.

Why would he be scared to death. That is strong language

Why do these people act as if it is our obligation to keep them out of jail?

He built this monster. He created the great hate machine that drives the democrat party today, all just to win one election.
I wonder how he’s going to feel once they start to burn books and legislate re-education camps.

Clinton’s pal Carville shows up just in time to tell democrats that they should be talking about issues. Next Hillary will suddenly talk about issues. It’s all a script.

Try popping a paper bag right next to him - that might do the trick 😈. Then again, he will still vote, so it doesnt really matter

There it is. Snakehead’s on board. Hard to believe this man was a Marine. Has about as much honor as a turd.
