James Carville: The fate of the world depends on the Democrats getting their sh*t together and winning in November.
WE HAVE TO BEAT TRUMP.
And so far, I don’t like what I see.
And a lot of people I talk to feel the same way.
@dnc @tomperez @SpeakerPelosi
The D Party has to drive a narrative that doesn’t give off vapors that we’re smarter than everyone or culturally arrogant.
Falling into despair won’t help anyone, I mean, you can curse the darkness or you can light a candle. I’m getting a f’g welding torch. Okay?
“FFS, we’ve got Trump at Davos talking about cutting Medicare & no one in the party has the sense to plaster a picture of him up there sucking up to the global elites, talking about cutting taxes for them while he’s talking about cutting Medicare back home.”
If Sanders is the DEM candidate we will all lose.
He is Manafort/Putin’s LW candidate.
He doesn’t have a beggar’s chance in hell winning against Trump.
@Gop have a treasure chest of kompromat on deadbeat dad SovietSanders. RU does too.
“HRC won the popular vote by almost 3M. And secondly, the Russians put Jill Stein in front of HRC’s campaign to depress votes. And thirdly, the @nytimes a week before an election, assured its readers that the Russians were not even trying to help Trump.”🙄
“And then @nytimes wrote 15,000 stories about Hillary’s emails.
But back to Sanders — what I’m saying is the Dem Party isn’t Bernie Sanders, whatever you think about Sanders.
But here’s what I do know: Sanders might get 280 electoral votes & win the presidency”
“& nothing will happen, and Sanders will just be sitting up there screaming angrily into the microphone about the revolution.
The purpose of a political party is to [win elex] & acquire power.
All right?
Without power, nothing matters.”
Trump wins. We lose
</endCarville>
In the immediate future, even if we don’t see a single, monstrous new scandal emerge, we might instead witness a slow accumulation and acceleration of insidiously incremental abuses of power that, taken together, continue to erode the rule of law.
Rick Wilson ripped into the Republican Party for acquitting Trump on impeachment charges and thereby unleashing a vengeful “man more suited to a padded cell” upon the U.S. public.
Using Trump’s two Thursday speeches — which Wilson described as indicative of ...
One more thing:
American families are horrified by the notion of some DEM candidates want to give illegal immigrants free HC, when Grampa Pete & Uncle Steve have to wait 6 mos get an appt at the VA.
I don’t hear any DEMs talking about Veteran’s issues.
The DNC will lose the election if they pander to the Michael Moore/AOC “woke base.”
The majority of American care about being able to provide shelter, food, clothing, & HC for their families.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOISE.
Yes, RADICAL SOCIALISTS scare them too.
