Democratic strategist James Carville expressed frustration that Americans have fallen for President-elect Donald Trump’s “***” as he reacted to the election results in a video Thursday.

Before Tuesday’s bombing, Carville predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris would win, despite polls showing Trump in a better position.

Speaking on camera in a video for PoliticonCarville – who helped lead Bill Clinton to the White House in 1992 – was dismayed that the country chose a “criminal fanatic” rather than elect the first woman president.

“So I have to re-evaluate. I’m sure I’ll find something to make me feel good again, but right now it’s hard, I’ll be honest with you,” Carville said. “And the hardest part is I’m looking at across this country and tens of millions of people have fallen for this shit, and it’s depressing.”

Carville noted that there have been many “criminals, charlatans, crooks, traitors, bastards.”

Democratic strategist James Carville expressed frustration that Americans have fallen for President-elect Donald Trump as he reacted to the election results in a video Thursday.

“We’ve been through all this before,” he said.

But he called it “sickening” that people “accept and condone this.”

“This guy got 50 percent, okay? They can make the argument: Hitler was never 33, okay? It’s scary that we’ve come to this. And, by the way, with an unemployment rate of 4 percent.

On Friday, Carville predicted a Harris victory because “she has more money, more energy, has a more united party, has better surrogates and he’s crazy.”

Carville, 80, coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid” to explain why Clinton was able to score a victory over President George HW Bush, ending three Republican terms in the White House.

32 years later, it was the economy again, with President Joe Biden – and Harris in turn – performing poorly in the polls for their handling of inflation in the post-Covid era.

“Mark Robinson could get a job as Secretary of Education,” Carville continued, referring to the failed North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate whose candidacy was derailed by past sexually explicit and racist comments he made. he had done. “He’s going to do all that. And he told you he was going to do it. And you did and you voted for him.

“I’ll get through this, but I’m in a very, very dark tunnel right now,” Carville admitted.

The Democratic strategist then pivoted and talked about some of the Democratic Party’s burgeoning talents: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock.

“The level of talent at the gubernatorial and senatorial levels in the Democratic Party is extremely high,” he said.

Carville, a Louisiana native, also points to former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who joined the Biden administration.

He lamented that “we had a lot of talent that we never put on the field.”

“The sad thing is that we won the battle of the substitutes 95 to 5. We had two ex-presidents, we had every rock star, cultural icon, athlete you can imagine,” he said. declared.

“We had a superior field operation, canvassing, door-to-door,” he continued.

“They just stole every dollar, they didn’t do any of that. They were vulgar, crude and uncouth people. And we also raised more money,” he said. “You look at all the intangible benefits we had, and it didn’t mean anything.”

Carville believed that Trump was elected because he was able to argue that “everything that happens to you is the result of migration and disorder.”

“At the end of the day, we had all the advantages, but we had the perception of disorder at every level – foreign policy, border policy, economic policy,” Carville said. “In the end, it seems to me that the key word is that people want order and are willing to pay anything to have order.”
