When You've Lost James "The Snake" Carville
Posted on 08/18/2026 3:28:45 PM PDT by Libloather
Longtime Democratic pundit James Carville is firing back at recent jabs from a socialist candidate running to unseat a mainstream Democratic congressman in Tuesday's primary elections in Florida.
After Oliver Larkin told Fox News this past weekend that "it may be time" for Carville "to take a back seat, to people with fresh ideas," the strategist who first gained national attention as one of the masterminds behind former President Bill Clinton's 1992 White House victory shot back.
Referring to Larkin, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Carville told Fox News Digital he "has the attribute of every DSA member in the country, and that is he has a motor mouth."
"He fits right in."
Carville, an establishment Democrat, has repeatedly railed against high-profile victories by far-left and socialist candidates over more mainstream candidates in primaries this spring and summer, which are framed by many pundits as a battle for the party's ideological future.
"They're a bunch of silly people... a pack of fools," Carville said in his comments Monday in an appearance on Fox News' "Jesse Waters Primetime."
The 33-year-old Larkin, a veteran of Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2016 Democratic presidential campaign, is the only DSA-endorsed House candidate running in a competitive congressional swing district. He is challenging more moderate Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz in Florida's newly drawn 25th Congressional District.

Don’t forget to toss in the Sharia-future-for-the-USA crowd.
You go, Jimmah!
Lol. These fools think that socialism is a “fresh idea.” Rotfl.
DUMBASS DEMOCRAT DRUNK BINGO
You Get To Buy A Round Of Beers Every Time An islamo-Commie-Nazi-Nitwit-Democrat says
"The only Reason Socialism/Communism Has Failed Is That The Wrong People Were In Charge"
Carville, Pelousy Et Al are just reaping what they have sown their entire lives.
America sucks, capitalism sucks, Caucasians suck, police suck, border control sucks............
What if there was a second Civil War?
Very funny:

Don’t forget they abandoned labor starting in the 90s.
Is it because the DSA are saying the quiet part out loud? I think so, because the Democrat Party certainly hates this nation as much as the DSA does. Make no mistake on that reality. Sounds like the staregist, just wants them to shutup, because they are hurting their chances of getting back in power..
“people with fresh ideas”
That’s hilarious. Totalitarian impulses and dictatorial control go back to the beginning of time. Organized communism goes back 175 years. What is “fresh” about stealing other peoples’ money from them to give to layabouts who don’t work?
They are honest, unlike establishment Democrats and Republicans.
“They’re a bunch of silly people... a pack of fools,”
Which has Carville worried because that’s the regular Democrats’ turf.
It has me worried because there is an enormous number of silly people and fools with ballots to harvest.
This pant load old man was on Fox last night poo pooing the socialist.
180 degrees from when he freaked out about them a month or so ago.
carville is an angry boomer. just hates that his lies have gone round the world like a bad yelephone game and are now kicking his own butt with no chance he can even dent them.
welcome to hell, the one you made.
What is “fresh” about stealing other peoples’ money from them to give to layabouts who don’t work?
There's nothing fresh about it.
That has been the policy of our own Federal Government since the ratification of the 16th amendment
in 1913 giving us the IRS (Infernal Revenue Service).
With threats of criminal prosecution and punishment our Deep State politicians extort money as taxes
from earners and investors and dispense it to buy votes and to enrich themselves and their friends.
Exactly right! “Fresh” simply means increase the theft 10x.
