If the Democratic Majority Leader can’t bring himself to support the democratic nominee who won overwhelmingly- why is he in a leadership position?
You know what I don’t get? Why does the media love Max Rose so much? And how is he in any way any kind of expert on what Democrats need to do to win . . . anything? He’s won one election so far, and lost two. As a first term incumbent, he couldn’t even hold on to his seat. And it’s not like MSNBC and others are having him on as a “learn from my mistakes” expert. They’re having him on as some kind of Democratic election strategist. Why?
People are starting to call out Carville too much?
He’s probably not the only one to ask that about, either. Network news tends to have their go-to talking heads, and you got to wonder why they are considered the guy to go to for analysis… especially if they don’t have the best track record in elections like that…
I frankly don’t understand media experts for anything political. “This man has spent the last thirty years being wrong about everything in extremely well-documented ways, so obviously his opinion is the one you want.” It’s like the whole thing is affirmative action for the world’s stupidest men.
How many years did the media treat Nate Silver like a god damn oracle?
Every public economist, ever, anywhere.
Aren’t they still doing that? (I mean, I’d love to hear he’s finally had a long-deserved fall from grace, but…).
Well he doesn’t have as large a platform as he used to, since he parted ways with 538 after ABC acquired it, but he’s definitely still quoted as a “reliable” pollster. Plus he has disciples out there like Harry Enten who are just as bad.
Exactly my understanding too.
Probably, but I haven’t seen him pop up in the news in a while… so…
Not a lot of campaigning for elections going on right now, so…
Very true, but polling seems to be a year round thing now… Seth Meyers keeps posting clips of the guy from CNN talking about polling…
How long have I been harping on about this very thing…
