The Democrats may have gone down in flames in the November elections—with the GOP taking the House, the Senate and the Oval Office—but that hasn’t stopped veteran leftist strategist James Carville from constantly jumping in front of every camera and microphone he can find.
He refuses to slink away off into the dark night and continues to zing former Vice President Kamala Harris and her disastrous campaign. In a Friday interview with PBS' Margaret Hoover, he compared putting Kamala at the top of the ticket to starting the seventh-string quarterback in the Super Bowl. Since there rarely if ever is a seventh stringer on a team—if you’re that pathetic, you get cut—this is a harsh blow indeed.
He may be annoying and often comes across as unhinged, but you have to admit, the man can be funny:
James Carville takes Kamala Harris to the woodshed by calling her a '7th string quarterback' that couldn't put together a sentence:

James Carville: "We ran a presidential election, if we were playing a superbowl, we started our 7th string quarterback. You can't address a problem… pic.twitter.com/RBUXKNJSMa
Oof. The above tweet continues (it's an abridged version of Carville's remarks):
You can't address a problem unless you're honest about a problem. The staggering talent that exists in today's Democrat party: People would have seen that. 'I didn't know they had people like that, that can actually complete a sentence, that actually know how to frame a message, actually have a sense of accomplishment of doing something."
James Carville does not agree with the sycophants who repeated the mantra of 'Kamala Harris ran a flawless campaign' as a daily coping mechanism.

It’s quite a different tune that the lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s winning 1992 election campaign is singing. He was quite sure Kamala was going to win, but he failed to take into account his own infamous mantra: “It’s the economy, stupid.”
In the weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election, Carville was so convinced that Kamala would win, he wrote a column for the New York Times titled, "Three Reasons I’m Certain Kamala Harris Will Win."
Carville's column slammed Trump as a "repeat electoral loser" and claimed "This time will be no different," while heaping praise on Harris.
In fact, he was so confident that he appeared to lose any sense of reality. He was evidently living in an entirely different world than the majority of American voters; take, for instance, this ludicrous take:
"On the other side, in just three months Ms. Harris has assembled a unified and electrified coalition. From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Liz and Dick Cheney, it is the broadest we have seen in modern political history… and if the bigger coalition turns out with equal enthusiasm, it will be lights out for Mr. Trump."
That didn't age well, James.
I know that the Biden-Harris regime is gone, and it’s a new world now, and there isn’t much reason to be talking about James Carville and Kamala’s failures. But you know what? I’m still enjoying it. Every single day I wake up and think, “Thank God we won.” I'm happy to read about their defeat every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I truly believe that the future of this country hung in the balance, and if it went the other way, the America we know and love might have gone the way of the dodo bird.
