Former Bush strategist and failed Texas Democrat lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Matthew Dowd said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if Jesus Christ were alive today, he would be called a groomer, woke and socialist by Republicans. The discussion was about first-term Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow’s (D) speech on the floor of the state Senate after being accused of being a “groomer” for supporting LGBTQ rights.

Matthew Dowd, the chief strategist of former President George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign, dropped his bid for Texas lieutenant governor on Tuesday, pointing to an emerging field of diverse candidates vying for the number two position in the Lone Star State. In a statement announcing his decision to end his candidacy, Dowd, who was running as a Democrat, cited an opinion piece he wrote for ABC News in 2018 titled “Us white male Christians need to step back and give others room to lead.” In the article, Dowd called for more diversity in electoral politics, writing “white male Christians...

VIDEOPolitical strategist and media analyst Matthew Dowd has just announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Texas. As you can see, Dowds own words out of his mouth paints him as a complete nutcase without a chance in hell of winning that race. The fun part will be to see his inevitable mental deterioration from its current low spot as the campaign progresses. Oh, and don't worry, the DUmmie FUnnies will capture each and every one of Dowd's entertaining mental meltdowns on the campaign trail.

Matthew Dowd, the former chief strategist of President George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection bid, is running as a Democrat for Texas lieutenant governor, kicking off a difficult fight to oust incumbent Dan Patrick. In a video announcing his campaign, Dowd railed against Patrick as a representative of only a small minority of Texans. He blamed Patrick for hampering local governments’ ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and failing to take charge after the state’s electric grid crashed earlier this year. “The GOP politicians have failed us, especially the cruel and craven lieutenant governor,” Dowd said.

VIDEOPolitical consultant Matthew Dowd, best known for shagging Ahnold Schwarzenegger's wife, is now acting as chief cheerleader for Joe Biden. He even gushed that Biden did an "extremely good job" on the Afghanistan exit. Perhaps Matthew loves Sleepy Joe even more than he does Maria.

Former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd said Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that President Joe Biden has “done an extremely good job” on Afghanistan. Dowd said, “Joe Biden’s drift down of his approval ratings didn’t start with Afghanistan. It started with the COVID and the spread of the virus. I think Americans, not disapproval of him but disapproval of the situation, and I think that has to get fixed for his approval numbers to fundamentally go back up to where they were. It’s not a large drift. It’s a small drift of approval numbers.”

A former chief strategist for President George W. Bush believes the riot at the Capitol building on Jan. 6 was worse than the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. Matthew Dowd -- interviewed by MSNBC's Joy Reid on Tuesday, which marked six months since the event -- charged the a lack of accountability for those who fomented the Capitol riot has given permission to Republicans to perpetuate the "big lie" that President Trump won the 2020 election.

Former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the January 6 Capitol riot was worse than the 9/11 terror attacks because Republicans are continuing the “big lie” that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, which is ripping our country apart.

VIDEORabid Matthew Dowd, who once upon a time pretended to be a Republican, sounded off to equally deranged Nicole Wallace in which he displayed a weird fascination with insanity and "crazy people" whom he defined as Republicans and Trump supporters whom he railed against to the extent that he defended ditching objective journalism in covering them because he screeched that they are "CRAZY PEOPLE!" Projection much, Matthew?

Former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Republicans demonizing National Institutes of Health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci were attacking “science and data.” Discussing Republican’s demeanor while questioning Fauci at congressional hearings, Burnett said, “This is far from the first time we’ve seen Republicans try to beat up on Dr. Fauci. They love these moments. We saw it from Jim Jordan today and Rand Paul not long ago. That’s how it’s been. Why is the GOP so obsessed with going after Dr. Fauci?” Dowd said, “Well, I think this is fundamentally about the attack...

... Before Election Day I warned many people that polling showed a majority of Donald Trump's supporters believed he would win by a landslide. They thought this primarily because these voters consumed information in a closed ecosystem that wasn't giving them facts or an accurate assessment of the current political situation. The closed ecosystem included some conservative media they spent a lot of time watching and listening to, as well as a homogenous social media enclave that affirmed these biases. So, in aftermath of Election Day, many Trump supporters were confronted with a reality much different from what they thought...

ABC chief political analyst Matthew Dowd on Wednesday tweeted, then deleted an attack at Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) after she questioned witnesses during the House impeachment hearing. "Elise stefanik is a perfect example of why just electing someone because they are a woman or a millennial doesn't necessarily get you the leaders we need," Dowd wrote in a now-deleted tweet. Dowd's attack came minutes after Stefanik pointed out during a House Intelligence Committee hearing that although President Donald Trump threatened to remove aid from Ukraine, and asked Ukrainian officials to investigate the Biden family, neither of these things ever...

The Democratic Party that my grandfather belonged to no longer exists in any meaningful sense. Today, the Democratic Party is run, financed and driven by radical, hate-filled people who love socialism and hate conservatives, Christians, men, white people and America itself. Those are mainstream beliefs among the Party elite. Yes, there are plenty of Democrats who don’t believe in these things, but they still support and vote for the hate-filled radicals who want to destroy everything good about this country so they can build some never-before-seen Utopia that will never exist anywhere except in their own minds. Read these quotes...

Lawyer Robert Barnes named several celebrities and media personalities he intends to sue for libel against some students of the Covington Catholic High School, whom he represents. In a Jan. 26 Fox News interview, Barnes specifically mentioned Reza Aslan, Iranian-American writer and commentator; Matthew Dowd, ABC News political analyst and former chief strategist for the George W. Bush campaign; actor Michael Rapaport; and The New York Daily News. The trial lawyer took up the students' case after media and social media whipped up a storm maligning the Kentucky students over their encounter with several Native American activists following the Jan....

Joy Behar said Democrats lost key senate races because of gerrymandering in a segment on ABC’s ‘The View’ Wednesday morning. For some bizarre reason, ABC’s News’s Matthew Dowd brought up the fact that more ballots were cast in favor of the total number of Democratic candidates than Republican candidates running for U.S. Senate.

The Left and our good, sweet, sincere friends in the media spent most of Saturday after the tragic shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue trying to find a way to blame Trump for the monster who killed 11 innocent people and wounded six others. Even though the gunman reportedly hated Trump and blamed him for supporting the Jewish people, somehow, someway Trump was labeled an anti-Semite. We know, it's stupid. Rich Lowryb✔ @RichLowry What’s even the theory supposed to be that Trump is an anti-Semite? 3:42 PM - Oct 27, 2018 Well, Trump beat Hillary … that’s enough doncha...

Matthew Dowd, the chief political analyst for ABC News, smeared Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with a “sexual predator” allegation on Monday. Doing his part to derail Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, Dowd tweeted that America already has one “sexual predator” on the Supreme Court — meaning Thomas. “It was despicable and outrageous what happened to Anita Hill more than 25 years ago, and a sexual predator was given a lifetime seat on the SC,” Dowd wrote. “Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself in 2018.”

At a Navajo veterans’ ceremony over the weekend, President Trump made a brief joke at Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren’s expense, calling her "Pocahontas," that left the media practically foaming at the mouth. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Matthew Dowd and Meghan McCain perhaps had the most overdramatic analysis of the comment, slamming it as a “gross” “attack” and a “racial slur,” on Good Morning America. Anchor George Stephanopoulos hyped that “the president raised a lot of eyebrows” with this comment, inviting “Republican” analysts Meghan McCain and Matthew Dowd to bash Trump. After playing the video clip of Trump saying Warren is known...
