Top Clinton Ally (Lanny Davis) Caught in 2016 Rant

[Purveyor]

When Lanny Davis decided to loudly unload on a whole host of Hillary Clinton foes on an Amtrak train, The Daily Beast was there. Here’s what he said.

10.09.15 5:15 PM ET

This morning on Amtrak, Lanny Davis had a lot of feelings about 2016 and inadvertently decided to share them with the 6:55 a.m. train—which included two political reporters—as it zipped from D.C. to New York City.

The DC power lawyer and his traveling companions covered a lot of ground- whether Bernie Sanders is truly a Socialist (no), whether Joe Biden is a threat (he’s seen as a “buffoon”) whether Republican Carly Fiorina is nasty (yes)—as they chatted noisily and candidly about the ins and outs of the 2016 presidential race.

(Their chat also provided valuable insight for The Daily Beast and TownHall’s Guy Benson—who sat across the aisle from them.)

Benson, who first spotted Davis and his cohorts and caught the first part of their conversation noted Davis had sharp words for the Democratic-Socialist Senator from Vermont, calling him a “flip-flopper” on guns and a “nut.”

“There’s no way he can be nominated, ever,” said Davis, who sported a patterned tie and dapper pocket square for his morning train commute.

1. Seems scared to me

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. Lanny, Lanny, Lanny, Lanny, Lanny -

That "nut" is going to be your next President. Better start adapting now.

Gaaaawd, how'd ya like that backtracking, covering his ass when confronted with what he said? PRICELESS!

4. To be fair...

There's an embedded link in the article where this is the snip:

A younger associate traveling with the prominent operative called Sanders "a nut."

Beyond that, Lanny Davis and similar ilk I'd like to not see anywhere near the White House, ever again.

The company they keep is half the reason I don't want Clinton's there, either. "Enough is enough."

16. Townhall's Benson says a Lanny companion

Called Bernie a nut, but the Daily Beast article says:

Snip
Reached for further comment on his early-A.M. opining, Davis was very apologetic and emphasized that he isn’t part of Clinton’s campaign team.


“I first of all have nothing but the highest respect for Bernie Sanders, affection and respect,” he said. “I do not recall ever using a word like nut, unless you’re certain that I used the word nut, but I don’t recall that.”


(Confirmed: He used the word “nut”) snip

So, it's hard to know who to believe, but that's really neither here nor there because one of Hillary's operatives called him a nut. More insight into her dirty campaign.

[Wilms]

18. Agreed.

And a reminder of the company she keeps.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. Indeed.

[Purveyor]

22. Same ole Lanny. Weasel, indeed. eom

[still_one]

3. If Hillary was smart she would fire that useless jerk

[Cali_Democrat]

11. I don't think he's currently working for Hillary.

At least I don't think so.

[still_one]

24. I hope so. Lanny Davis is a very abrasive person

[JaneyVee]

5. How reputable is TownHall?

[Wilms]

7. The linked article is Daily Beast.

I don't know how reliable they are, but it's a repoter from each claiming to have overheard the conversation...and Davis is being quoted in a subsequent interview.

You like Lanny or something?

[JaneyVee]

10. I believe there is a concerted effort by the media to create Democratic intra-party fighting.

[Wilms]

19. Good point.

But as I mentioned elsewhere in the thread...Lanny.

[TheKentuckian]

8. Can't be any less reputable than stank ass Lanny Davis who is about as useful as Yahoo comments or

Stormfront as a source of truth aka somewhere south of Faux Newz.

[MissDeeds]

6. A little early to be drinking, Lanny

[MisterP]

23. "money and ethnic votes!"

[restorefreedom]

9. the fear is growing

people don't tend to lash out at those who pose no threat

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Let me guess....

Lanny Davis is desperate, right?

[restorefreedom]

14. well lets put it this way...

he does not sound relaxed and confident.....

[jfern]

12. If Bernie is a flip-flopper, then what the hell is Hillary?

[840high]

15. She is a liar.

[Historic NY]

17. Who really cares...I'm waiting for the Fred Klein book on Bernie its got to be good....

[Metric System]

20. Never cared for him or found him very effective when I saw him on TV.
