| #13 Carville just said lie to get power. He was never a voice of reason. |

| #11 The big story of this ejection is that the Dems are failing to do, and Trump is exactly doing, what Carville and every other competent, intelligent, normal student of democratic politics and the art of power says you must do if you are to win ejections and gain or retain power: build a coalition that undermines the other side's coalition. Trump is driving a stake through the Democratic Party. He is going to split a significant number of African-American and Hispanic males off from the Democratic Party. Just as Reagan split off working-class northern white union members in Macomb County MI and other bastions of Democratic strength, Trump will take enough votes from minority Makes in urban enclaves across the Midwest to bury the Dems this fall. Carville sees this. Van Jones sees this. Every Dem strategist above the age of 50 can see this. |

| #10 Voice-O'-Reason or no, Carville at least recognizes basic political realities. He and the remaining adults in his party can see that their candidates, their idiot House leadership and their moronic Squat are driving the party toward the cliff's edge. Aside from the predictable partisan sneers at Trump, Carville made many astute observations in that interview with the Left-wing Vox whelp. A sample: "So long as McConnell runs the Senate, it’s game over. There’s no chance we’ll change the courts, and nothing will happen, and he’ll just be sitting up there screaming in the microphone about the revolution. The purpose of a political party is to acquire power. All right? Without power, nothing matters." "Here’s another stupid thing: Democrats talking about free college tuition or debt forgiveness. ... I can tell you that people all over this country worked their way through school, sent their kids to school, paid off student loans. They don’t want to hear this shit. "... some people think there’s a real yearning for a left-wing revolution in this country, and if we just appeal to the people who feel that, we’ll grow and excite them and we’ll win. But there’s a word a lot of people hate that I love: politics. "It means building coalitions to win elections. It means sometimes having to sit back and listen to what people think and framing your message accordingly. ..." |

| #9 /\ "a voice of reason"? Just like the mafia hitman that assures you that "...It's just business" before shooting you in the head? He has shown that he will rationalize just about any action that benefits his Democratic Part (Hillary! faction) masters. |

| #5 I was trudging back to coach class with the other plebs when I saw Carville sitting in first class. He spilled his Coke all over himself. Couldn't get my camera out in time, but the video would have gone viral. |

| #4 From a political point of view, they want to drive their car off the cliff and slam on the breaks and stop halfway down. |

| #3 I think Carville and a lot of the other pretend-moderate dems are hypocrites when it comes to Sanders. They want to shut down physical industry, by lawfare is by no other method here in Louisiana (for instance) but still want to keep the bits of capitalism where they get to keep houses and shit, instead of being sent to the Laogai like everyone else. AFTER they've given everyone else the choice of Medicaid or Death. |
