James Carville admits Trump’s fast pace is leaving Democrats reeling: ‘We are overwhelmed’
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 2/14/25 | Gabriel Hays

Democratic Party strategist James Carville admitted that the pace at which President Trump is fulfilling his executive duties is throwing his party off balance.

In the latest episode of the “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville lamented how Democratic lawmakers are floundering in trying to stop the president’s second term agenda.

“We’re getting overwhelmed,” he told podcast co-host Al Hunt.

“Things that we thought that would kill a political career, would be poisonous for whatever reason, this guy keeps chugging along.”

Carville quoted former Trump official Steve Bannon, who reportedly said in 2018, “The Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with s—.”

“Bannon is right. We are flooded in s— and we are searching for a way to deal with this. These are extraordinarily difficult times,” Carville said, noting that Trump’s actions are moving so fast, that he can’t even tell what’s going on.

“I’m struggling here a little bit, so maybe some of our really smart viewers can help us untangle it a little bit. It’s really tangled now because no one knows where to land. It’s all too incomprehensible.”

During another episode of the podcast earlier this month, Carville mentioned that the Democratic Party is doing nothing to help itself amidst this executive onslaught from Trump.

I have been saying we have been living in a mediacracy since 1995, as I recall.

Why don’t they forget about trying to be an opposition and join in to what is right?

This attitude that they have to oppose Trump is ridiculous.

You are correct. JFK,Jr’s “GEORGE” magazine, at that time in 1995. “Politics is Entertainment”, or something like that, was their call to the masses. Cyndi Crawford dressed in a stripped-down revolutionary get-up was the first cover. No looking back. Everything changed.

Trump is like Grant. Unlike other generals who after loosing a battle would retreat, Grant maneuvered to turn the flank and keep marching forward.

It must be so gutting to the political establishment that some builder/TV host with no political experience is dismantling the media and the government bureaucracy, while playing golf twice a week.

He is showing them how worthless their chosen ‘expertise’ is.

They’re just realizing how crap they have been in their jobs for the last 40 years.

Democrats aren’t used to a man that doesn’t GAS
about getting re-elected,
He wants to fix things for his grand kids.
Since most Democrats want to abort theirs,
they don’t have a clue,

Many are mistakenly thinking that Trump is “coming up with this new stuff” on the fly. Truth more likely that its been several years in the making, and he’s just pacing himself.
