CNN conservative political analyst Scott Jennings caused quite a stir this Christmas Eve when he succinctly discussed why the Democratic Party suffered a crushing election defeat and the panel ended in chaos.
And God loves him for it.
The debate got a little wild when “CNN News Central” co-host Kate Bolduan offered Democratic strategist Maria Cardona the opportunity to respond to figures in her party who openly criticized their leaders’ messages.
They include Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), who called the party “toxic,” and Democratic communications strategist Lis Smith, who believes “the Democrats’ brand is in the toilet.”
“Our brand is in the toilet”: Democratic strategists are suffering from hilarious post-election blues
Cardona gave a rambling answer in which she tried to convince herself that President-elect Donald Trump didn’t win the election by much. There was no comprehensive mandate and he fell just tiny of Kamala Harris.
In fact, with this assessment, she walked through the cemetery whistling.
“We certainly have a lot of work to do, but there is no question that Democrats still stand for ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to achieve the American dream,” she said of the party over the past four years was there decimating the American dream.
When the nearly five-minute segment ended, Bolduan said Jennings would have a chance to respond next time.
Well, he wasn’t joyful about that, he complained about being left out of an answer, and eventually asked Bolduan to give him 30 extra seconds.
As always, he got to the point.
It takes time @ScottJenningsKY All of 10 seconds to explain why the Democrats lost.

“Maria took five minutes. “Here’s 10 seconds,” Jennings replied. “Democrats are the party of unusual nonsense. Republicans are the party of common sense. That’s why our tent is currently full of such a wide ideological spectrum. People flock to Republicans because we stand for common sense. And the Democrats have taken over all this unusual fringe nonsense.”
“If they’re on the toilet, my advice?” he added. “Drive out the fringe groups and the people you drugged down there. Because that’s why the Republicans won the election.”
It was a succinct, yet thorough, beating. Bolduan mouthed the words “Oh my God” and had to look away. The exchange even caught the attention of Mama Musk.

Cardona was seen off to the side, trying to intervene while Jennings explained why the unlikely fringe – weird people, if you will – are basically running the Democratic Party.
After much shaking of her head and rolling of her eyes, she managed to say: “Wanting to invade Greenland and Panama, I don’t think that’s common sense.”
At this point, Bolduan interjected by threatening to cut off their microphones and telling the two to “just zip up.”
It all seemed very fun. At least the host had a good laugh about the matter when she finally called it a day after declaring her guests had “hijacked” the segment.
Speaking of the Greenland deal, Jennings also sent Cardona into a tailspin when he fully supported Trump’s plan to acquire the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
We’ll call it “MAGADONIA”: Trump appoints ambassador to Denmark and seeks takeover of Greenland
“For the purposes of national security and freedom around the world, the United States of America believes ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” Trump said in a recent Trust social media post.
While many dismissed the idea as absurd and possibly a case of Trump trolling the left, Jennings strongly defended the move, calling it “an amazing idea.”
@ScottJenningsKY strongly believes that Trump will acquire Greenland.

“Yes, we need Greenland. Greenland is a great thing,” Jennings said. “It’s like – do you ever play Monopoly? You know, the first row of properties, yeah, they’re cheap, maybe I don’t need them – you need them. These are vital properties. I’m for Greenland.”
Jennings further suggested that if Trump can push through the purchase of Greenland in his second term, “that will be a great legacy for Donald Trump.”
In fact, he even went so far as to publicly declare his intention to seek a prominent role there.
“I personally and on television are running for the office of military governor of Greenland if we actually take control of it,” he said.
