Claridge, who once advised Carson on debates, has publicly criticized him and claimed that Carson needs weekly briefings to make informed decisions. However, the Carson campaign has distanced itself from Claridge, dismissing him as an elderly gentleman who is not a top adviser. The public airing of their disagreements has led to a messy breakup, with both parties criticizing each other in the media. The incident highlights the complexities of political relationships and the potential for public fallouts. It also raises questions about the role of advisers in political campaigns and the importance of clear communication and mutual respect. Ultimately, the incident serves as a reminder that even in the political sphere, breakups can be messy and public.

This has left the Democratic Party questioning their identity and future in politics. Jessica Williams, a senior demographer, noted that the GOP has successfully "sold their essence" to voters, leaving Democrats struggling to find their footing. She suggested that the Democratic Party might need to reevaluate their focus and potentially explore new avenues, such as developing a tech startup or app, to better engage with voters. The conversation ended with a reflection on the complexities of politics and relationships, drawing a parallel between the Democrats' current situation and a romantic pursuit gone wrong. The overall sentiment was that the political landscape is evolving, and both parties will need to adapt to stay relevant.

The contrast was so stark that it was described as if one was eating a pile of dog waste instead of dining with friends. While it may be challenging to change the minds of some voters, it was emphasized that Bernie supporters should listen to and support their chosen candidate. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the defeat of Donald Trump.
