James Carville claims that the Trump administration has already collapsed

I wonder if Cornell and Northwestern feel like it has this evening.

This old fool is wrong about everything.

Tell this guy that the 1990s have put out a Silver Alert and a big net to get him back from wandering off the grounds.

Actually, Trump is walking a fine line right now. The tariffs could be his undoing.

He's been unreliable and irrelevant for decades, but he truly jumped the sharp when he demonstrated how Trump goes to the bathroom, complete with props

He's the same idiot that was saying for months that Trump will lose in 2024

If you bother watch the video, he explains it early on.

R7 A collapse in public opinion is not a collapse. If everybody hates your guts, but you’re still ruining everything, you obviously still have power.

I didn't say I agreed with his explanation; I was just pointing out where it could be found.

Carville makes sense here:

Dems knew they exist. Hillary called them deplorables.

Preach! This is a new and insightful contribution and one we need to hear more often. Thanks much!

[quote]However, the political pundit said, “Democrats acted like these people didn’t exist. They just did.”

I am in complete agreement that, practically speaking, the Democratic party needs to try to continue to reach the people who voted for Trump. There is no use denying that practical reality. But when it comes to assessing who is responsible for our current situation, the responsibility for that is solely on the electorate and not on the Democratic party. It is not an indictment of the Democratic party that they can't appeal to people so moronic that they believe a president controls the prices of goods and services and can or end wars in one or people so filthy they support a man who calls immigrants rapists and who tries to overturn elections. In healthy democracies around the world progressive parties win without having to refute this kind of godawful nonsense and filth.

Virtually everything the economically disadvantaged rely on to make their lives better---Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, Social Security, etc.---originated almost exclusively with the Democrat party and in the face of extreme opposition from the Republican party. The Democratic party does little BUT think of the disadvantaged. There is little evidence the Republican party does.

So, yes, the Republican party is a far more effective party of conmen and has been very effective in duping the American public into thinking that a bunch of the mostly mindlessly moronic and sadistic policies will make the lives of disadvantaged people better. That is a challenge the Democratic party has to meet. The fact that it even needs to meet this challenge is an indictment of the American electorate, not the Democratic party.

r12 You ok?

R14. Yes. You?

Defacto is especially desperate this weekend. You can tell from his unhinged repeat posting in this, the Zegler/Evita thread, and a few others.

Good.

And you’re a cunt, R12. Thanks for coming!

Carville hasn’t been relevant in this century

Collapsed? When was it ever together? It was designed to be broken from the start.
