November 2, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris
Former top adviser to former President Bill Clinton, James Carville, anticipates that Election Night will be a short night for everyone.
Speaking to MSNBC on Monday with former campaign manager for President Barack Obama David Plouffe, Carville said that he expects the election to be called by 10 p.m. that night.
What people are doing is unnecessarily scaring people and making them unnecessarily nervous, said Carville. That event he had David Plouffe is exactly right, that event in North Carolina, a state if he loses, I dont want to wait on Pennsylvania. In North Carolina, hes going to lose. That event was literally insane. Youre in eastern North Carolina, a state that youve got to win and youre talking about some pollster at Fox News? It is literally insane that anybody any politician would use that as a closing argument. I am not the least bit concerned about the outcome tomorrow night, and Im not the least bit concerned that were going to have to wait weeks or months to find out what the result is. Well know and well know early.
Even when it comes to voter suppression efforts and legal challenges like the Texas Biden bus assault and the police pepper-spraying Black voters, Carville said that its only going to turn people away from Trump and motivate more Biden supporters to come to the polls.

I suppose his comment should have had an asterisk exempting him if there was a healthcare overhaul.

I feel somewhat better now, however, I am still very anxious.

(10,828 posts)I think we'll have a pretty good idea where we stand before the end of the evening. Biden/Harris will win this thing. The only question now is the size of the win. I'm predicting a blowout. Could I be wrong on the size? Of course. But I'm feeling a Tsunami on the way.

(675 posts)I don't think there will even be an early mirage that the election is close. I think once results start coming in, we will see lots of signs that Trump is in massive trouble

(89 posts)You were trying your darndest to build up the fake tension, James Carville was having none of that BS! He waited patiently and smacked that down!
WyattKansas
(1,648 posts)A blaze of glory for their last chance to get away with it. And deep down they really do know that tRUMP never should have been there in the first place and he only cheated his way there with Russia's help... They have been playing dumb and projecting outrage about his and their alleged honor being questioned, because they too know how dirty they really are themselves. All the mayhem you see are just immature assholes upset that their free reign of terror with the President of the U.S.A. encouraging them is about to come to a screeching halt and they will have to find some other obnoxious circle jerk dogma to get them off in some other scheme to make them seem important.

DFW
(54,341 posts)I think he doesn't want to give Biden the satisfaction of doing on election night. I think he'll find some flimsy excuse not to do it, and wait until he gets the calls from Graham and McTurtle, and then do it discreetly at 2 PM on Thursday, or some such.
