James Carville said in an interview broadcast Sunday that it would be a waste of time for any Democrat to challenge Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Ive had maybe three people come up to me and say, Well, Im for somebody else other than Hillary, the Democratic strategist told host John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable on AM 970 in New York.
And I know I run into more Democrats in more places than maybe anybody else in the United States, he added.
Of course, Senator [Jim] Webb and Governor [Martin] OMalley can say anything they want. But, in terms of the party, every poll that you see shows 86 percent of the Democrats say theyre going to vote for Hillary I dont know how much data you can get, but who am I to tell Senator Webb or Governor OMalley, who I both know, that you cant run? he asked.
Youre not going to win. But if you want to waste your time, thats your business.
Carville also said he doesnt think President Obama can take a side against Secretary Clinton, adding that Obama has damaged the Democratic Party.
In the South were kind of decimated, Carville said.
Carville also said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) could be a formidable candidate.
He said hed like to see New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) or Donald Trump run against Clinton in 2015, but added that hes not going to have that choice.
That's all that matters. Once in office, like Obama, she'll be told what to do, and will do it.
??? They still had comfortable majorities in both houses of Congress, and their leaders were in firm control.
They only approached collapse in 1994, when Newt Gingrich led a successful conservative campaign to take control away from them.
