“…Carville on Biden coming in fourth place in Iowa: “He has had an honorable life in politics. This is just not the time. What’s happened is he blocked out access for my guy Michael Bennet, for Gov. Bullock, blocked out access to Senator Booker, probably some people that were going to run didn’t run because he was in the race. Maybe he’ll come back, but he’s going to have a difficult time. This is not a very good night for him to say the least.”
Carville on who should chair Democratic party: “I don’t know, ask Nancy Pelosi. That’s my idea. Come on, Speaker, get somebody in there. I think this thing in Milwaukee (convention) is not off to a good start. I see all kinds of things that are very concerning there. Also, I’m just looking at the mega polling averages. I’m looking at popular opinion right now and frankly, we’ve got to snap back and get this thing going or — I don’t want to even think about if we had four more years of Trump. But this is so far not so good, that’s my analysis.”
Carville on Bernie Sanders: “Of course I’d vote for him, we don’t have a choice.”
Carville on how the Democratic platform is unappealing: “Look at the British Labour Party. We’re like talking about people voting from jail cells. We’re talking about not having a border. I mean, come on, people. Every day there are people out there struggling. We’re trying to get votes.”
“You’re saying you’re concerned that you consider Bernie Sanders for open borders and for incarcerated people voting?” MSNBC host Ari Melber asked.
“He says he is,” Carville said. “He said we should give people a ticket. Alright. I’m just saying what he said.”
“Of course I would vote for him,” Carville said of Sanders. “But I don’t want the Democratic Party of the United States to be the Labour Party of the United Kingdom.”…”
