Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that left-wing academic Cornel West seeking the Green Party’s presidential nomination was a “threat to the continued constitutional order in the United States.” Carville said, “He’s obviously an accomplished scholar, academic. He seemed to be a very charming man and he’s also a menace, a threat to the continued constitutional order in the United States. and I say that because look what Ralph Nader, who’s directly responsible for the election of George W. Bush which brought about the horrific Iraq war and the horrific economic downturn we had among...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Fox News audience was “a giant monster that you have to feed every night” while discussing Arizona man Ray Epps suing the network. Carville said, “If you remember right after January 6th, they needed an alternative story, and said it was really Antifa. But there’s no such thing at Antifa, so you can’t defame it. There is no organization, there’s no Antifa headquarters, there’s no Antifa board. So if they would have just stuck with Antifa, they would have probably been okay. But then they single Mr. Epps...

You saw real white trash on display. Let me say something about congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. She dresses like white trash. She really needs a fashion consultant. I recommend George Santos. He could do a good job of dressing up where she doesn’t announce her white trashdom by her own clothes and her attitude.”

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville predicted Tuesday on the “Conversations with Bill Kristol” podcast that former President Donald Trump will not be the 2024 Republican nominee because he will be in jail soon. Carville said, “He is done. After all this obsession, of all these years of him occupying the front part of your mind, when you think about it, you just wonder how fast it’s going to be before he goes to jail. He’s not going to be the Republican nominee at all. We saw what the post-Trump Republican Party looks like. Just go back and look...

Those who opposed the release of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, notoriously dubbed “the Merchant of Death,” in exchange for former WNBA star Brittney Griner are largely driven by racism and homophobia, according to Democrat consultant and political commentator James Carville. Carville also claimed opposition to the swap “exposed a big big fault in American culture,” and said those opposed are likely “pro-Putin.” Speaking on CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta on Saturday, Carville complained that racism and homophobia are significant drivers of opinion in America, suggesting that if Griner was a “blond Chi Omega from SMU” then the reaction would...

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the MAGA Republicans who run the GOP were on crack cocaine. Monday on the Senate floor, Sen. Chuck Schumer said, “I say to my Republican colleagues, embracing the MAGA way of divisiveness, nastiness, negativity without constructive compromise, that’s how Donald Trump wanted it. Some of our colleagues follow him. That will be a disaster. That will be wrong. It will be bad for America, but it will also be bad for the Republican Party because these elections have shown that the MAGA Republican way is not...

Democratic strategist James Carville said the party would be “better off looking harder at Mississippi” than Florida following the overwhelming GOP success in the Sunshine State in this year’s midterm elections.

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) would be a “very serious presidential candidate if she runs” in 2024. Anchor Joy Reid said, “I feel the media has overplayed the importance of DeSantis and underplayed the victory for Whitmer. Whitmer, to me, was the biggest single individual winner on election day because not only did she survive the kidnapping threat, she survived real threats to democracy in her state, got reelected by a healthy margin, and took over the state. Your thoughts?”

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump was the reason Democrats did not lose up to 57 seats in the House of Representatives. Co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “But James, you know, this is just the ebb and flow of politics. Bill Clinton wins big in ’92. Idiots like me get elected in ’94. Obama wins massively in ’08. The Tea Party wins in ’10. Could you explain to people who don’t know politics as well as you how historic last night was?” Carville said, “I’m going try. If you...

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Democrats needed to improve their messaging for the 2024 presidential election. Co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “So, James, we don’t know what’s going to happen today. I’m already hearing reports Democrats are feeling pretty good in some places. We’ve got a Republican Senate candidate who’s supposed to win easily. I’m hearing he’s very concerned, especially in the suburbs, that they may be breaking against Republicans. We don’t know who’s going to win. That said, looking ahead to 24, what can Democrats learn, regardless of outcome, about how...

We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them.”

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Long-time Democratic political consultant James Carville says some wild things in American politics could be coming over the next two years. During a talk, part of Alabama-based PARCA’s Speaker Series, held at the Red Mountain Theatre in Birmingham, Carville said he did not expect former President Donald Trump nor President Joe Biden to be on the 2024 presidential election ballot. “I don’t think Trump or Biden will be on the ballot in 2024,” he said. “I’m going to be 78 in less than a month. The country needs a generational change. I think they’re going to get...

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said in an interview with The Hill TV that the “majority” of Republican voters are “stupid” and “evil.” Discussing the brand of the Democratic Party, Carville said, “So much of what has happened to my party is we tend to get defined by some over-educated, totally doofus coastal elites that are out trying to write dictionaries or something unrelated to anybody’s life. And that kind of stuff has a tendency to be very sticky, to stick with people. It is not who the party is. They are a very small part of the...

James Carville is predicting that former President Trump’s alleged mishandling of official documents could be the most significant story in a generation, with the potential to help transform the midterm elections. “This Mar-a-Lago story … might be the biggest story since 9/11,” the Democratic strategist told The Hill in an on-camera interview. “That’s not going anywhere.”

Carville said, “This Mar-a-Lago story which might be the biggest story since 9/11. That’s not going anywhere. It’s not going anywhere. So if you are a Democrat, you are going to get asked about inflation. If you are a Republican, you are going to get asked about Trump. We can say inflation is bad. They can’t say Trump is bad.”

“Their defenses are just literally absurd. I mean, absurd. Like ‘he can declassify anything he wants,’

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that Democrats were much better on crime. He cited the now-retired assault weapons ban and “skyrocketing” crime rates in former President Donald Trump’s last year. Carville said, “Democratic voters have seized control at this point. The people of San Francisco won last night. The faculty at Berkeley, at the University of Berkeley in California, lost. This is not unusual. They lost in Seattle, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Cleveland, New Orleans, New York City. I mean, hopefully, a lot of people in the party and a lot of people that cover the...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Republicans had become “hypersonic weird” and had to be stopped. Carville said, “My thoughts go back to less than a month ago when I was on the show, and we talked about how weird the Republican Party has become. It’s now hypersonic weird. We’ve gone through this horrific leak of a Supreme Court decision. We’ve actually seen over 25% of the House Republican caucus side with a hostile foreign power, namely Russia, and against Ukraine. We’ve seen the replacement theory, which you know as well as anybody that this...
