"Ideologies aren't all that important. What's important is psychology.

The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That's why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.

Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don't have a clue as to political reality.

What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard workers and convince them that they should support social programs that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you want.

The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there were more Democrats that didn't have a clue than there were Republicans.

Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to."

Mr Carville made at least one mistake in his piece, he asserted that Democrats were a "group of people who are hard workers". lol

I always thought Carville was a POS. Unlike most here, I'd be happy to express that to his face.

After reading the Wikipedia piece on James Carville I seriously doubt that the authenticity of this so-called quote. The web source has disabled their "about us" so we can't know their credentials.

Actually I cited two references and SNOPES verifies the gist of the quote ... meanwhile your Trump quote is a lie, blatant, via distortion/truncation.

Deal with it.

Ha ha ha ha ha... what a joke you have turned out to be.

Did you learn misdirection and dissembling as a Nixon intern? I do believe you’re old enough

I never really thought of Carville as a "leading democrat". He is certainly someone who seems to be a legend in his own mind, like the majority of the pundits we now see on the political networks..

Let's work on you proving to the rest of us that this sort of locker room talk wasn't said by you and your other hypocritical left wing pals at some point in your past.

Why are you being so dishonest?

First your link is to a Santa Claus question.

Second, I sourced the quote twice.

Third, snopes doesn’t deny the quote.

Fourth, snopes confirms the quote with slightly different wording:

”The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That’s why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.”

Last, you are a very dishonest person.

Well, that is Carville's opinion. That doesn't make it so. However, the Donald's comments about grabbing them by the pussy is on tape, I think, isn't it?
