It's the arrogance, stupid
Remember James Carville and how he helped turn voters against President Bush (41) in 1992? A decent economy took a turn for the worse just in time for Democrats to usher Bill Clinton into the White House.
Carville, 75, is back, and he's "scared to death,"
and vulgar, under his LSU ball cap.
What bugs him is the Democrats' distraction with President Trump and miscellaneous causes that he fears will fail them in 2020. He went on TV reminding people - minus the vulgarity - that the party won the House in 2018 with "really qualified candidates."
Now, he says, "We have candidates talking about open borders and decriminalizing illegal immigration. They're talking about doing away with nuclear energy and fracking. You've got Bernie Sanders talking about letting criminals and terrorists vote from jail cells."
We don't agree with him that Republicans are a personality cult, though there may be examples here and there. If that's what it is, how is this different than people fawning over both Clintons, and Obama, not to mention FDR and JFK? And Jackie?
Back to Carville. He blasts Democrats in high places for "patronizing people in the South or in the middle of the country. We can't win by looking down at people," and giving off "vapors that we're smarter than everyone or culturally arrogant."
Thank you, James. If a conservative made those charges he or she would be "cancelled" in short order by most of the print and TV media.
We may hear from the Ragin Cajin again. He doesn't want to "curse the darkness or light a candle." He is "getting a (censored) welding torch. Okay?"
Jimmy
