Fox News 'Democrat' Pat Caddell Is A Bannon Confidante

We've long known that Fox News "Democrat" Pat Caddell was about as Democratic as "former Clinton advisor" Dick Morris" or "Democratic strategist" Harlan Hill. But we did not know just how un-Democratic he is until just now.

In a Washington Post article this evening that states, "[Donald] Trump’s allies have been buzzing about the staff’s competence as well as the president’s state of mind," the last two paragraphs jumped out at me (emphasis added):

Pollster Patrick H. Caddell, a longtime confidant of Bannon who served in Jimmy Carter’s White House, said he was pained to watch the Trump White House struggle.

“It’s like reliving the Carter administration on steroids,” Caddell said. “This is an outsider administration being surrounded by Apache knives. Every inch of the political class and both parties are going after him. The president can’t afford in this type of environment to not execute these kinds of announcements better.

In August, Media Matters noted that Caddell had been "speaking regularly" with then campaign chief executive Stephen Bannon and that Caddell had frequently made Trump-friendly appearances on Bannon's Breitbart News radio show. But I had not realized quite how far to the right Caddell had drifted.

Caddell is still listed as a contributor on FoxNews.com but I have not seen him on Fox News lately.

For a glimpse of Caddell's "Democratic" punditry on Fox, watch him gratuitously call for President Barack Obama's chief of staff and head of national security to be arrested from a December 16, 2011 Hannity show.

Anyone over the age of 30 knows that Caddell played an important role in Carter’s presidential campaign and Administration. He worked on Democrat presidential campaigns all the way back to McGovern’s in ‘72. He even worked on the campaign of Joe Biden, someone even youre probably familiar with. Just because someone doesn’t align with the Democratic Party as it’s currently so radically composed doesn’t mean they’re a fake Democrat. If you didn’t blog for a living you might be able to understand that.

Wanker Pat will sing your song for a bottle of cheap whiskey and a box of stale donuts.

I’ve always thought of Cadell and the other faux ‘Democrat pollster’, (thinks a moment, um) Doug Schoen as the Statler & Waldorf of Fox’s line-up of muppets.

From the current look of him, I guess Cadell’s visitations must now be limited to the hours of darkness.

Pat Caddell offers Bannon fashion and style advise.

No Democrat has hired him for decades. He is like Dick Morris without the fetishes.

Not only has Caddell gotten more rightward, he has gotten, frankly, progressively uglier. He has a face like the hind end of a sick animal.

So ‘Democrat’ Pat Caddell is running with the white identity crowd.

To plagiarize John Fugelsang, irony is in a cheap hotel room right now hanging itself. 💀
