Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville warned that the party should not put false hope in Republicans emerging to impede the Trump administration’s actions.
On the “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville mocked “the people who go on TV on a panel after the election and say, ‘Don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine’” and “’We can work with him.’”
He also mocked the people who hold out hope that “’some responsible conservative Republican is going to save us from this,’” and argued, “They didn’t come, they’re not there, okay? Let’s just get over it, they’re not coming, the cavalry is not coming, the courts are not coming, nothing.”
Carville then referenced the New York Times’ chief White House correspondent Peter Baker writing about Trump’s thinking on Gaza as “so far outside the box that it was not clear he even knew there was a box.”
“That’s what we’re dealing with,” Carville agreed.
The longtime Democratic strategist expressed hope that the party can establish a new strategy and “pick a unifying theme” that the Americans public “will find to be credible, the Democrats will find to be really credible and excite them.” He warned, however, that “it has to be true.”
The truth, the podcast host argued, is that “This is a government by billionaires, for billionaires, of billionaires, and that’s all it is.”

The Democrats have most of the billionaires.
They look like fools when they whine about billionaires.
say what you will about carville
he won two elections
but he is not woke
so he is being dismissed by the dems
yay!
I think that’s right. He is certainly a democrat partisan and he likes winning elections more than being ideologically correct.
Carville gets it.
The “cavalry” used to be the mainstream media and we now are in a mechanized warfare era.
Carville gets it.
><
Yes, on this one, he does.
But he forgot to mention the Mobs they’ll be using.
Carville is still a leftist after all these years. Don’t fall for his phony, lame attempts to sound reasonable. He believes in all the radicalism and grift of the Democratic party. He’s just upset that they didn’t do a better job of of hiding who they really are.
The cavalry IS Trump’s agenda.
Hissing snake says what?
Carville knows politics.
So does David Axelrod.
Each ran successful campaigns for two term presidents.
That should not be discounted.
But a campaign manager is no better than his candidate.
Crooked Hillary might have won in 2016 with either Carville or Axelrod as their campaign chair.
Obviously, the bad blood between Obama bin laden and Crooked Hillary prevented Axelrod from joining Crooked Hillary.
Crooked Hillary thought she was “anointed” to be the first woman POTUS and who ran her campaign didn’t matter.
Kinda of amusing Carville criticizing Trump on his Gaza policy.
That is not a make or break policy for Democrats.
And it’s not the economy stupid, as Team Bubba used to say.
It’s the woke virus that will keep the Dems as the minority as much as any ONE thing.
Carville knows that and every once in awhile he lets that truth slip.
he won two elections when their was no X or elon musk....
If the Democrats had any brains at all they’d study why Trump is making such huge in-roads with Hispanic males and black males and try to co-opt some of his positions - they were positions Democrats held not so long ago. But no, the current Democrat Party is the party of hard-left radicalism, and they’re determined to drag the country over the cliff with them.
The Dimocrats don’t have the issues on their side. That’s why their hopes are now in a garbage dump.
"Box? What box??? I didn't see any frickon' box!!"
Trump intends to burn the box to the ground and start over. "We don't need no steeeking box!"
He may get it but he’s still a whack job.
The “cavalry” is the American people, you snake-faced POS...
I wonder if shutting down USAID cut off the funding for those?
>>The truth, the podcast host argued, is that “This is a government by billionaires, for billionaires, of billionaires, and that’s all it is.”
This is what Carville believes. He apparently thinks the Clintons, Pelosis and Warrens of the world earned their multi-millions by helping the average working man and woman. The Obama and Biden administrations brought inflation and anemic growth. That doesn’t help the average American. The average American wants opportunity and economic prosperity and if it takes a handful of billionaires working on their behalf to give it to them, they’ll gladly support them over the Democratic multi-millionaire grifters who have gotten rich at their expense.
