Carville: ‘Trump Will Underperform Expectations
in Iowa’

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/10/2024 12:06:53 AM

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ that former President Donald Trump will underperform” with voters in Iowa. Carville said, “Moderates, do they show up? If so, it probably helps Haley. More than 60,000 moved to the Des Moines suburbs since the 2016 race. Right? They’re not all Republicans. But do those that are Republicans show up? What will we see the suburbs around Cedar Falls, around Dubuque? The flip side is across the top up here, across the bottom down here, those are the evangelical rural counties that Ted Cruz beat Donald Trump in 2016. Trump is expected to run it up there.

Carville is a career long liberal Democrat, so what would you expect him to claim? who sets up the level of “expectations” that Trump must meet in Iowa, the leftist and socialist Democrats and their media operatives? So what would you expect?

Carville is a smart guy. He is a rabid partisan and has the ethics of a rattlesnake, but he is also someone who can objectively analyze a political situation. And I have a gut feeling that he is right here. And as to poster # 13's question, if the MSM decide that Trump underperformed then he will have underperformed. I am old enough to remember Ed Muskie in New Hampshire in 1972.

Unfortunately, this is likely accurate. Organization and ground game beats rallies in Iowa and Trump and the sad sacks running the RNC seem to have learned nothing from 2020. Trump is still going to win, but it’s going to get played as an “L” before he gets back on track in NH.

The US and UK militaries launched strikes against multiple Houthi targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Thursday, marking a significant response after the Biden administration and its allies warned that the Iran-backed militant group would bear the consequences of repeated drone and missile attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. President Joe Biden said he ordered the strikes “in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea.” “Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces—together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands—successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen

A United Airlines flight from Sarasota, Florida, made an emergency landing at the next-closest airport after an “open door” indicator light illuminated Wednesday, less than a week after the shocking mid-flight Alaska Airlines door plug blow-out. United Flight 2434 was heading to Chicago when the light came on, causing the pilots to alert dispatchers and reroute the plane to Tampa, according to a spokesperson for the airport. The plane departed Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport at 3:42 p.m. and was diverted to Tampa International Airport, where it landed safely at 4:35 p.m., according to flight tracking website Flight Aware.

NEW YORK — Barred from giving a formal closing argument, Donald Trump still seized an opportunity to speak in court at the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial Thursday, unleashing a barrage of attacks in a six-minute diatribe before being cut off by the judge. Trump spoke as the judge was trying to find out if the former president would follow rules requiring him to keep his remarks focused on matters related to the trial. Asked whether he would comply with the guidelines, Trump defied the judge and simply launched into his speech. “We have a situation where I am an innocent man,” Trump protested.

Sigh. Does the left ever get tired of finger-pointing? Not a day goes by without a self-appointed justice warrior either screaming at or whining about some perceived wrong against a leftist person or group. Leftists' beliefs are so radical that no action against them is necessary for them to feel victimized. You can offend the left simply by existing. The Johns Hopkins University DEI office, led by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, demonstrated a perfect example of this type of delusion. Golden, who is African American, sent an email out earlier this month to employees of the university. End Wokeness posted a screenshot of the email on X.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced an investigation into Boeing after an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing when a door plug fell off the fuselage midair. “This incident should have never happened and it cannot happen again,” the FAA said in a statement Thursday. The administration said it notified Boeing of its investigation, which will look into whether Boeing “failed to ensure completed products conformed to its approved design and were in a condition for safe operation in compliance with FAA regulations.” “This investigation is a result of an incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX where it lost a ‘plug’ type passenger door and additional discrepancies,”

The World Bank's private investment arm has mobilised nearly $1 billion to rebuild Ukraine's private sector and is shifting its broader investment focus towards equity, its managing director told Reuters. Around $620 million of the funds mobilised for Ukraine - part of a $2 billion package announced in December 2022 - are from the investment arm's own balance sheet and another $360 million from external financing, said Makhtar Diop, managing director of the International Finance Corp (IFC). But the path ahead is not without its challenges. "First of all we need to continue to monitor how the political situation evolves and there are some concerns,"

TOPLINE U.S. and European government officials have poorly tracked military aid for Ukraine worth more than $1 billion, creating concerns the weapons have been stolen, according to a Defense Department report released Thursday, amid contested efforts by American lawmakers to provide additional funding for Ukraine’s war against Russia. KEY FACTS Just over $1 billion of the estimated $1.69 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine are considered “delinquent,” which was likely caused by “an inability to maintain complete accountability” of the inventory in government databases, according to a redacted report by the Defense Department’s inspector general Thursday.

One of sports’ most iconic coaching tenures is over. The Patriots and Bill Belichick will part ways on Thursday, ESPN.com reported. Rumors had swirled around Belichick’s future all season as the Patriots finished with a 4-13 record and missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons. He’s enjoyed little success without Tom Brady, and is now without a job. Belichick, widely regarded as one of the best coaches of all time, if not the best, led the Patriots for 24 years, famously winning six Super Bowls with the team. It caps a wild 24 hours that also saw legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban retire. Belichick owned a 266-121 overall record
