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.

Why do they keep going back to this...person, for his opinion?
It hasn’t even started. He has all his nominees except Patel. If he gets Patel, it’s over. I’m frankly amazed how he cowed the rinos. He’s planned this all out ahead of time.
I’m really impressed. We needed to ‘lose’ to Biden to get this kind of ass kicking.
I’ve heard that elections have consequences…..
Democrats are probably realizing now they should of let him win reelection in 2020. Trump would of still been hampered by the Deep State in 2021 and would not of been in a position politically to do then what he’s doing now.
It’s like Trump is running Operation Shock & Awe against the Dems.
Wonder what Mary thinks of the Dem predicament? I bet she’s laughing at James.
We’ll get Patel . They’re just waiting for JD to get back in case we need his vote , IMHO .
So Carville is angry that Trump actually spent the 4 years away from office studying and learning what he could do and now he shocked at the results.
These are the tactics Democrats had been using for decades against Republicans and now they are being pushed back on Democrats and they don’t like it
The speed at which things are happening make anything they do Moot by the time they respond using the old tactics honed over decades, they don’t know the new rules and may never.
The beauty of operating inside your opponent’s decision cycle.
Yeah, I agree completely. Not only did the assassination backfire but it put a indelible image of a man willing to sacrifice it all. It’s archetypical.
what the hell do you think we’ve been doing the last four years???
we’ll keep you on the back foot for the next four years...
The way to beat people who can’t work is to overwhelm them.
There were actually three incredible stories here.
The headline—the bullet that hit President Trump’s ear
Number 2—the grooming of Elon Musk’s son by the CA public school system—made the son a trans freak
Number 3—Democrats putting Tulsi on the no fly list
This made everything personal—and created three very important people who now have a “terrible resolve”.
As old and brain dead as he is he can be overwhelmed trying to read an aspiron bottle.

You are correct. The past four years Trump has been quietly laying out these plans. These actions were planned along with the various possible legal challenges. The responses to the Dem’s lawsuits were probably written a year ago or more.
This next year is going to be one barrage of actions that will continue to overwhelm the Dems. As soon as they find a judge to rule the way they want, Trump will pull the response out of the computer within an hours. He is years ahead of all of them.
I’ve talked over Trump’s actions with a number of federal employee friends in the past few days - their reaction? It’s about time!
An excellent point as to Grant. Similarly, the modern concept of maneuver warfare aims to move and attack quickly and in such decisive force that the enemy is overwhelmed and unable to respond in an effective and coordinated manner.
(Thank you President Donald Trump!!!!!)
FINALLY, someone to out the totally crazy and stupid people in power (I didn’t say “Democrat” ..)..
While the RINOs are more, or less, to the left of JFK, ..
The “other side” have people like this (Carville), AOC, Mad Mad Maxipad, and many more, that are, unfortunately, still alive... uh humm.. sorry, still with a voice of themselves.
