Top Dem strategist James Carville says Biden should not have run for re-election

Veteran top Democratic consultant James Carville says he wishes President Biden wasn’t running for re-election and worries that disenchanted young party voters will sit out the November election because of it.

“It isn’t the choice I was crazy about,” admitted Carville, who played a major role in getting former President Clinton first elected in 1992, on 77 WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” on Sunday.

“I thought that President Biden should not run for re-election,” the political guru said. “But he did — it’s him and Trump — and that’s where I am.”

Carville argued that the Democrats have a deep bench of younger elected officials who would be a better fit for the times than the 81-year-old Biden, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn.

“The under-appreciated thing about the current state of the Democratic Party is there is enormous [talent] – I mean, there’s no Bill Clinton… but … there are any number of current people,” Carville told WABC host John Catsimatidis.

The Bidens (or at least his handlers) are ruthless. That’s how they made it to the White House. They’re not going with a loser like Michael Dukakis.

Carville is an unhinged lunatic screaming get off my lawn.

He’s an arrogant puke that got lucky once.

Senile and bitter.

He’ll probably die before November.

He’s right.

More - Biden shouldnt have run in the first place.

Instead of a real President, a person in charge, it was somehow decided to put a blank in place, with no will of his own.

Some backroom deals were done to create a committee to run Biden as a figurehead. That committee is the actual effective US executive branch.

Biden is up by 2 points in some of the fake narrative building get ahead of the cheat polls.

Biden has been the old figurehead president through which the hard left can launder their agenda. They keep him medicated and it has sort of worked for a while but has run out of steam. :-) Still -- they may keep it going a while longer.

Biden will pardon his son and drop out of the race. [not necessarily in that order]

.... I figure that the Democrats absolutely want Joe to be their candidate. Democrats know that their candidate is going to win because of their Creative Vote Counting Process ..... So they will ensure that he is the candidate and win the election ....... Why???

..... Well .... Because once he is Prez again they will continue to push through their incredibly nauseating agenda ..... Then when Joe is 2/3 of the way through his presidency he will step down or be removed allowing the VP to step in as president .... Then legally run for president again of what will basically now be the Communist States of America and continue the amazing work that cuddly Grampa Joe has done for another 8 years after the VP is elected and re-elected ....

..... They have a plan .... In the mean time the GOP will be left collectively wondering what they did wrong...

James was always a bit of a nut but he’s really losing his mind over Biden. I don’t really like the guy but at least I think he believes what he says (which is more than I can say for most talking heads)

She can take President slot, one day after the mid point and
then be re-elected for two complete four years terms. If it
occurs before the mid-term date she would be eligible to serve only one full term via election.

I think he’s right. They’d do better running a better candidate.

I hope the progressives are too power hungry to listen.
