    James Carville should shut the fuck up… Young voters should vote - definitely… but this asshole is responsible for the political strategies that landed us Biden as a candidate and lost an election to Trump.

      Eh, I’d argue Debbie Wasserman-Shultz focusing on Hillary and intentionally keeping Bernie out of the spotlight was more to blame for Trump’s first term. There’s really no way to tell at this point though. Regardless, we agree that Carville is a dumbass.

        That and Clinton skipping campaigning in Michigan and Wisconsin and mouthing off about coal in West Virginia, next door to coal heavy Pennsylvania.

        There was a whole crew of six-figure idiots from the DNC that all got together and decided that Debbie Wasserman-Shultz should be in charge. Carville’s right up there with them; he was furious at the idea of having Obama instead of Hillary Clinton, and he wanted to skip the primaries entirely and just have Nancy Pelosi pick all the candidates. He’s a full-blown loony. And a dumbass yes. I’m genuinely very surprised that he’s managed to say something that I so fully agree with.

      I mean, he married a republican strategist, and there’s definitely some fails there but I don’t know that I’d blame the vast string of milquetoast kakhi-wearing hair-model losers the DNCC teed up for several decades on him.
