Carville: Dems Need to Stop Listening
to Elitist Coastal People's NPR Politics

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/25/2022 12:31:44 AM

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Democratic party needs to stop listening to “elite coastal people” who push identity politics. Thursday on MSNBC, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said, “I’ll make this prediction right now. We’ll pick up two to three in the Senate and pick up the House. We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them.” Carville said, “I agree with you if we execute an obvious strategy that is right in front of us. But if we keep this kind of NPR foundation strategy of identity left politics, we’re going to lose.

If “Yeaah…..” Howard Dean’s prediction is what you need to win. You are hurting.

Carville, Clinton, Pelosi, Dean, Schumer, Biden - this is the D'Rat party all old fossils who aren't likable. And the young D'Rats are even more unlikeable. I been saying 20-40 seat gain by the Republicans, I didn't expect to take the Senate but now I'm not so sure that the R's can't pick up 3-5 seats.

Well he does not get it. They lose because they spread unsubstantiated lies. Politicians want to appeal to the lefts emotions. Everything is emotion driven by the the left and not by facts. The left has lost common sense. Their policies have to pushed by lies- the Inflation Reduction Act, what a lie…. Also how many people are in political position because of skin color and their sex and sexual orientation a nit based on qualification …ie VP Harris she not fit to be dog catcher nor is the current press secretary. Their idea for solving problems are a joke. The lefts answer to high gas prices is to push for over priced useless electric cars. Yea that is a real solution. Leaky borders is a great idea too…NOT……Good policies do not have to be lied about and good policy win elections not pushing ‘boogyman with orange hair is going to get you” . Times under Trump we’re never as bad as the times under Obama and this demented dolt we have now as president.

It's TOO LATE. You ARE going to lose because the damage has been done, it is irrevocable, and THE VOTERS HAVE ALREADY ASSESSED THE BLAME TO THE DEMS. The only question is how smart is the electorate? Will they hold the dems FULLY accountable? If so, pitchforks and tar and feathers would seem appropriate. Since that is unlikely, a solid win for the House and Senate would be nice.

So let's see if I have this right. Carville predicts if the Dems change strategies they will pick up 2-3 Senate seats and not lose the House. But if the DON'T change strategies, they will lose both. That sounds like he's got HIMSELF covered no matter what happens. So now he can go coil himself under some Louisiana rock until the Dems need him to wriggle out and utter a few pearls of down-home wisdom again. Slither and spin. Whatta job, hey?

Carville hasn't changes since he used fearmongering and lies to get Clinton elected. He can't use "it's the economy, stupid" again. He knows Americans won't buy Biden's "the economy is strong as hell" or Pelosi's "It's not inflation; it's the cost of living." So he advocates lying and fearmongering about back-alley abortions and shoving grandma over the cliff. Unfortunately for Democrats, they have tired first and it flopped. The current crop of elderly have heard the second for 30 years and no longer buy it.

What Carville is obviously proposing is that the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats now pose as being more conservative on the issues that have been shown to be of legitimate importance to most voters, then after the Democrats win the election, just go back an support the Biden political agenda that is wrecking the US economy.

Democrats are adding millions in television spending to boost Sen. Patty Murray, a sign that the party is employing a take-no-chances approach even in solidly blue Washington state. The 30-year veteran of the Senate is facing a challenge from Republican Tiffany Smiley, a political newcomer whose campaign has seized on quality-of-life issues, from urban crime and homelessness to inflation, to tarnish Murray. In recent public polling, Smiley has closed a sizable gap since this summer, when Murray led by 18 percentage points in an 18-candidate, all-party primary. A Seattle Times poll released last week showed Murray slipping slightly, from 51 percent in a July survey to 49 percent now

Police in South Florida have made a second arrest in connection with a vicious weekend attack on a GOP campaign worker who told authorities he was attacked “because he was a Republican,” according to an arrest report. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio first tweeted about the attack on Monday. He has highlighted the case as an example of anti-Republican media bias, because local and national media have cast doubt on the accusation that the attack was politically motivated. Rubio believes the latest police report clearly backs his assertion that his canvasser was attacked over his Republican politics.

Deliver this one straight into my veins, NY Times: Republicans are pressing their advantage deep into Democratic territory in the closing stretch of the 2022 campaign, competing for an abundance of House seats amid growing signs that voters are poised to punish President Biden’s party even in the bluest parts of America. Republicans need to win only a handful of seats to take over the House of Representatives, which Democrats now control by a narrow margin of 220-212. But with two weeks until the election, Republicans are looking to run up the score

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) was a man on a mission during his debate on Tuesday against Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. The big focus of their race has been crime, the top issue in New York. Zeldin has focused on it like a laser beam, and he’s closed the gap that he originally had with Hochul. As we noted, the latest poll had Zeldin leading by under a point. That probably means that Zeldin is up by even more. But listen in the clips below, as Zeldin just decimates Hochul on crime. Hochul shows how limited the position of Democrats is on this point — all they can talk

On Monday, John Fetterman’s campaign desperately sought to lower expectations for their candidate when he faced off against Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz—even going so far as to suggest that they expected Fetterman to lose. I can assure you they didn’t lower expectations nearly enough. I watched the entire debate, and I have to admit that I sometimes felt bad for Fetterman. I’m sure he expected to have bounced back from the stroke quicker and stronger than he has, but Tuesday night’s debate performance merely demonstrated just how far he has to go in his recovery.

Twitter employees have penned an open letter to soon-to-be boss Elon Musk and the Board of Directors begging to keep their jobs, after the Washington Post reported that Musk is planning to get rid of nearly 75% of the company's 7,500 workers - whittling Twitter down to a 'skeleton' staff of just over 2,000. "Elon Musk’s plan to lay off 75% of Twitter workers will hurt Twitter’s ability to serve the public conversation," reads a draft of the letter, which has not yet been published. "A threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users’ and customers’ trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation."

A Russian court on Tuesday upheld American basketball star Brittney Griner's nine-year prison sentence for drug possession, rejecting her appeal in a session where she appeared via video call from a penal colony outside Moscow. Griner can still appeal to a higher court, but her lawyers have yet to confirm whether they will take the case further. The decision clears the way for the WNBA star to serve nine years in a penal colony, unless the U.S. government negotiates a deal.

A second poll released by AmGreatness/Insider Advantage says we have a single point race, with Hassan at 48 percent and Bolduc at 47 percent.

In an unusual twist, the Fetterman campaign is lowering expectations before the debates happens.Fetterman, once expected to trounce Oz in the race to be Pennsylvania’s next senator, now runs as though he is the underdog. Since he suffered a serious stroke, his ability to serve in the Senate has been called into question. All polls still show Fetterman ahead of Oz, though only just barely.

Perhaps that time Hillary Clinton wandered the woods alone with a bottle of wine after the 2016 election should have been seen as a red flag.

In what can only be described as a bizarre release, Clinton put out a video directly claiming that “right-wing extremists” have a “plan to literally steal the next presidential election.” I guess she’s now an ambassador for BlueAnon. (Tweet/Video) The first thing to note here is that you don’t have to “steal” something if you win it in the first place.
