Bob BrighamLongtime Democratic Party strategist James Carville suggested that Republicans were doing the political equivalent of committing suicide by hand grenade during a Thursday night interview by MSNBC's Brian Williams.
"James, what worries you right now?" Williams asked.
"Everything," Carville replied. "I can't think of a single thing that doesn't worry me. And I'm gratified President-elect Joe Biden is going to be president, but the reaction to this pandemic, the reaction to this election -- everything that happens is just staggering."
As is usual, he had harsh words for Republicans.

Bob BrighamPresident-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris won TIME magazine's "Person of the Year" award for 2020, Bruce Springsteen announced on Thursday.
"Biden had the vision, set the tone and topped the ticket. But he also recognized what he could not offer on his own, what a 78-year-old white man could never provide: generational change, a fresh perspective, and an embodiment of America’s diversity. For that, he needed Kamala Harris: California Senator, former district attorney and state attorney general, a biracial child of immigrants whose charisma and tough questioning of Trump Administration officials electrified millions of Democrats. The Vice President has never before been a woman, or Black, or Asian American," Charlotte Alter wrote for the magazine.

O'Donnell suggested one line from longtime GOP strategist Steve Schmidt explained it all.
"The Republican Party is an organized conspiracy for the purposes of maintaining power for self-interest and the self-interest of its donor class," Schmidt said.
