James Carville, who predicted Harris win, says Trump admin collapsed 'even faster’ than he thought possible

Democratic strategist James Carville thinks the Trump administration has collapsed in less than three months.

During a recent appearance on CNN host Michael Smerconish’s program, Carville declared that President Donald Trump’s second term had become a failure sooner than he predicted it would.

"I had no idea. I thought I’d have to wait longer for the imminent collapse. It happened even faster than I could imagine," the former Bill Clinton adviser said.

Smerconish brought up the topic, mentioning Carville’s recent prediction in The New York Times that the Trump administration would fall apart. In a February op-ed, Carville advised the Democratic Party to play dead and wait for the collapse.

"Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is retreat on the immediate battlefield — and advance in another direction," he said. "It won’t take long. Public support for this administration will fall through the floorboard. It’s already happening."

Smerconish questioned Carville, wondering why it matters that Trump may be losing some approval numbers, if Democratic approval ratings are at some of their lowest points in modern history.

The strategist countered by saying that the left can take advantage of the moment either way. "Well, first of all, this is a glorious opportunity for the Democratic Party to redefine itself, to take this as what it is, and apparently some people in the news media are not — it’s the gravest crisis we’ve had in the United States in the last 80 years."

I believe so.

James Carville and Mary Matalin’s improbable marriage has now lasted 23 years.
But on many issues, they remain at least as far apart as America’s two major political parties.

The couple met in 1992 while Matalin was deputy director for President George H.W. Bush’s reelection campaign and Carville was a key strategist for Bush’s opponent, Bill Clinton.

Carville has remained a friend and supporter of both Bill and Hillary Clinton while teaching political science at New Orleans’s Tulane University and consulting on international political campaigns for clients like England’s Labour Party and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Matalin, who recently changed her party registration from Republican to Libertarian, spent many years as a strategist with the Republican National Committee, served under President Ronald Reagan, and was an adviser to President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Wondering what happened to his George W Bush-supporting wife Mary Matalin, (she was usually pretty rational back then) -

seems she left the Republican Party in 2016 (what happened in 2016?), and became a Liberaltarian.

So now we're stuck with her creepy husband as the voice of Demonic Part rationality.

Go home, Carville. Your days as a “strategist”, meaning someone who runs his mouth, are over.

Maybe the Dems would win outright, without cheating, if they would drop the Leftist stances opposed by most of America (transgenderism, wokery, etc.).

James likes industrial plunger drippings. Makes chunky tea out of it.

Carville reminds me of Gollum, that creepy character on “Lord of the Rings.”

Conservative Mary Matalin.

I met Mary in Chicago at a night club. I found her very intelligent and quite adept at voicing her political views. I immediately knew she was able to win an argument. I had concern that she would get me into a political debate so she would have a reason to tell me to get lost. So, I got her to talk about herself. Our conversation ended with a mutual admiration for each other.

When I heard she married James Carville, I knew she could dominate him in the political debate. I think she loves to debate James like another would play chess with their spouse and always win. His big challenge now is to stay relevant. As the DemonKKKrats continue to show their true colors, I think James will get the message and support Trump.

She is currently on the nationally syndicated radio program “Both Sides Now w/ Huffington & Matalin,” hosted by Mark Green and aired weekends on 120 stations.

Those photos of him in bed with a dead girl or a live boy must be disgusting.

He’s just background static that has to be placed on tv to act as a mantra for liberal tough guys. Hahahahahahaha.

This is what they do...make stuff and run with it like it’s true and then end up believing what they make up.

It’s way worse than Carville even imagined. The Trump admin hasn’t just collapsed, every single Trump-aligned official has been killed or removed, and Barack Obama just declared himself King for Life!

Carville is so irrelevant it is laughable. His definition of collapse is Trump...allegedly...losing some approval numbers? [snort]
