Carville Hilariously Describes How 'Out to Lunch' Dems Are, How They Need to Change

James Carville isn't shy in expressing his opinion. What he has to say is often wrong and/or tinted by his Democratic bias. 

For example, he was convinced that Kamala Harris was going to beat Donald Trump. He even wrote an op-ed on the "Three Reasons I'm Certain Kamala Harris Will Win" and said Trump was nuts. That was ill-considered, given what a horrible candidate she was.

But now he is warning Democrats about how they had to change their ways in a new op-ed. He said they could quibble about by how much Trump won, but "the most important thing for us now is to face that we were wrong and take action on the prevailing ‘why.’"

"We lost for one very simple reason: It was, it is and it always will be the economy, stupid. We have to begin 2025 with that truth as our political north star and not get distracted by anything else," Carville continued, referencing his famous phrase.

It wasn't just that, although that was a big part of it. It was also because the Democrats were crazy, from pushing wokism to claiming Trump was Hitler. The American people had had enough of it. They wanted a little sanity back. 

Carville pointed out how Trump has now won the lower and middle class. 

"Mr. Trump, for the first time in his political career, decisively won by seizing a swath of middle-class and low-income voters focused on the economy. Democrats have flat-out lost the economic narrative. The only path to electoral salvation is to take it back," the Democratic strategist continued.

Carville said that Americans thought Democrats were "out to lunch" when it came to the economy and feeling their pain.

Carville also bashed the continual focus on demonizing and efforts against Trump — which actually made him more powerful. The public didn't care about all the things the Democrats were saying against him. What they knew was that things were better under him and he was listening to what they were saying. Carville said the public didn't care about any of that "if they cannot provide for themselves or their families."

"This year, the Democratic Party leadership must convene and publish a creative, popular and bold economic agenda and proactively take back our economic turf. Go big, go populist, stick to economic progress — and force them to oppose what they cannot be for. In unison," Carville wrote.

He said where Harris really lost it was on the "money question" — when the public wants something different, and Harris couldn't answer what she would do differently than Biden. 

But wait. Why haven't they put out a creative economic agenda before? Why does he only have to urge them to do that now? 

Because they are completely wrong on policy when it comes to the economy. That's why they've resorted to demonizing their opponents and insisting they're "Hitler." Their other tactic under Biden and Harris was to say the economy was just fine.

Translation: they're a complete mess. He at least understands that. But I don't think a lot of them do.
