Patrick Caddell, the political pollster who helped send an obscure peanut farmer named Jimmy Carter to the White House, later became disillusioned with fellow Democrats and finally veered to advise supporters of Donald J. Trump, died on Saturday in Charleston, S.C. He was 68.

Interesting life trajectory. Was Carter's polling expert and key advisor, then left the dems and became a conservative pundit for rest of his life.

Predicted early rise of Orange T.

Hell Jimmy's message when he was running would be far right now! LOL! Damn shite fire he even tried to rescue the American hostages in Iran using the military. The current dems would be applauding the Iranians holding them. The current democrat party would open the border to Russian tanks operated by Cuban military and treat them like hero's.

He's always look sickly.

Smart guy though.

Damned shame.

One of the last self avowed Democrats to tell the truth & call it like it is. Rest in Peace.

He kind of predicted Trump winning and said that Hillary Clinton was by no means a sure thing.

Caddell said that 2016 with Donald Trump felt too much like 1980 with Ronald Reagan and he was right.

RIP Pat. May you have eternal glory in the sunlight of God’s presence.

Always enjoyed Pat on tv, a straight shooter, especially during Election 2016. And as others note, he and Jimmy C would come off off as right of center in today's insanity.

I liked him. He wore the worst fitting clothes and always looked disheveled. However, we would call it both ways. RIP.

Why are white males all dying in their 60s these days?

That really saddens me. I always tuned in to see him on Sunday nights with Harris Faulkner as part of the Political Insiders with John LeBoutillier and Doug Schoen.

Truth be told, I had a mad crush on him.

RIP Pat Caddell

I hate to hear this. He and Krauthammer were the most interesting people on FN.
