Clinton strategist who predicted a Kamala Harris victory rips into Americans for falling for Trump’s ‘s***’

Democratic strategist James Carville expressed frustration that Americans were falling for newly elected President Donald Trump’s “***” as he responded to the election results in a video on Thursday.

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

Talking into the camera in a video for PoliticonCarville – who helped usher in Bill Clinton’s victory in the White House in 1992 – was dismayed that the country chose a “criminal bigot” over electing the first female president.

“So I have to reevaluate. I’m sure I’ll figure something out that will 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 look around this country and tens of millions of people are falling for that s***, and it’s depressing.”

Carville noted that there have been plenty of “criminals, charlatans, swindlers, traitors, bastards.”

“We’ve all had that before,” he said.

But he called it “sickening” that people “embraced and endorsed this.”

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

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

The 80-year-old Carville famously coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid” to explain why Clinton managed to defeat President George HW Bush, ending three terms of Republican rule in the White House.

32 years later, it was the economy again, with President Joe Biden – and Harris in turn – receiving low poll numbers for their handling of inflation in the post-COVID era.

“Mark Robinson might get a job as Secretary of Education,” Carville continued, referring to the failed Republican Party gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina whose bid was derailed thanks to sexually explicit and racially charged comments he had made in the past. “He’s going to do all that. And he told you he was going to do it. And you did it and voted for him.”

“I’ll figure it out, but I’m in a very, very dark tunnel right now,” Carville admitted.

The Democratic strategist then pivoted to talk about some of the rising talents in the Democratic Party: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock.

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

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

He regretted that “we had so much talent that we never got them on the playing field.”

“The only worrying thing about this is that we won the surrogate battle 95 to 5. “We had two ex-presidents there, we had every rock star, cultural icon and athlete you can imagine,” he said.

“We had a superior field operation, the recruiting, the door-to-door business,” he continued.

“They just stole every dollar, but they didn’t do any of that. They were vulgar, rough, rude people. And we also raised more money,” he said. “Look at all the intangible benefits we had, and it didn’t add up.”

Carville ruled that Trump was elected because he could make the argument that “everything that has happened 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 disarray at every kind of level: foreign policy, border policy, economic policy,” Carville said. “In the end, it seems to me that the key is that people want order and are willing to pay anything to get order.”
