He was emphatic that Sanders would be a disaster as a nominee.

"They are so desperate for socialism they nominated someone who was not even a member of their party."

That type of line would have tagged us and been darn near impossible to deflect.

The legit fears toward Bernie Sanders were understated not overstated

I can't stand him & his damn centrist rantings.

He can talk about Bernie needing to respect Democratic voters (and he does) but Carville's wing of the party needs to respect the progressive wing and not just always expect us to fall in line and be content with crumbs.

I'd accept it this year, but it's the same from him every damn time.

He might have made clear that BS supporters need to respect that.

If you consider there to be sides in this, the issue is not that your "side" is "expected to be content with crumbs." It is that another approach is preferred by more Democrats.

If you want your "side" to have more power, you need to make it appeal to more people.

Everyone doesn't go home with a trophy. Nothing is owed to any of us. We choose the one the most agree upon.

I couldn't stand him nearly 30 years ago and he hasn't improved with time. I don't know why every 4 years someone decides he's still relevant and subjects us to him.

Carville is saying “Pay attention to the voters - THEY have made their decision clear.” This isn’t about triangulation or campaign strategy this is about the voters making their choice clear and unequivocal.

We might differ on ways to get there, but not so much on goals.
