James Carville: LSU TV Podcast

This podcast took place about fourteen months ago. Pretty young kid asking the questions. Nice kid, kind of reminds me of the innocent millennials over at Daily Thunder. He’ll get better and learn to ask better, more pointed questions.

But still, it’s the iconic James Carville who got Bill Clinton elected in 1992 in spite of his client’s numerous electability issues.

Carville is a very sharp guy in my view. He doesn’t pull punches and gets right to the point…which I like. Fact he loves college football makes him even taller in stature with me.

Like me, he originally endorsed Michael Bennet. I actually endorsed Bennet before I knew Carville had done so….. which makes me feel good about my initial choice as a historian/political scientist. Carville is a guy I’d love to have lunch with some time.

I think Joe Biden is too old as does James.

We both agree Bernie Sanders might be a good choice if he was running in Denmark or Greenland.

Like Carville…I think Pete B is extremely bright and he drives down my moderate lane. I just honestly worry how he would hold up under the scrutiny of the Trump, Miller, Bannon, Rebeckah Mercer, Breitbart machine in a national general election.

Elizabeth Warren would make a nice attorney general.

Amy Klobuchar is very sharp and I think she’d make a helluva vice-president in her first national campaign. Bloomberg is too old to go beyond one term himself so maybe she should consider this as a resume builder for the Presidency.

Which brings me to Michael Bloomberg and why he’s now the candidate I’m endorsing even with some things he did while at Solomon Brothers or as mayor of NYC. I’m primarily going with Bloomberg because he’s smart as a whip, tough as a rattlesnake, and yet in these later years of his life has shown he has a heart of empathy for multiple causes of basic human decency.

The Little Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood faction of the Democratic Party needs a stark reality check. This is a unique election in our nation’s history.

Beating Donald Trump and removing him from office will require a unique set of smarts and toughness.

This isn’t the time to go beyond FDR’s New Deal.

Just beat Donald Trump and reset from there like pragmatic adults.
