Appearing Thursday on The Stuttering John Podcast, former lead strategist for Bill Clintons 1992 presidential campaign, James Carville, predicted in a wild rant that President Donald Trump will get his fat ass beat by former Vice President Joe Biden in the November election and claimed Republicans will even attempt to rig the match-up.
A partial transcript is as follows:
JOHN MELENDEZ: Trump is essentially the whole administration is a snake oil salesman, correct? Whats going on here? Tell me.
JAMES CARVILLE: Whats going on is [Trump] is going to get his ass beat. Hes going to get his fat ass beat. Now, the question is by how much. If we want to go through this lethargic kind of stuff and blah, blah, blah, and worry about this, we can get 290, 295 electoral votes and will change nothing. If we go and take it to him and talk about what a massive, fat failure he his, then we can run away with this thing. The idea is not just to defeat Trump, you have to defeat Trumpism. You have to defeat the idea that the United States of America is a place and not an idea. And this idea that its all white people fighting against non-white people, men fighting against women, I dont know, gay people fighting against non-gay people, its all bullshit, and call him on it. The country does not want him back. Weve got to beat him bad.
MELENDEZ: Hes managed to discredit the media, which you know thats what Hitler did, thats what Putin does, just discredit the media, so that anyone who reports badly on him, hes going to say its fake news, right?
CARVILLE: So hes got 41 percent of the country? The hell with it, thats a losing number. Take your 41 and go hime.
MELENDEZ: But now what do you think that people are tyring to say Biden has dementia.
CARVILLE: They said Hillary was running a child pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza parler in northwest Washington. They are going to say anything. Just move on, leave him alone.
MELENDEZ: I know that you were Bill Clintons strategist, what advice would you give Joe Biden to winning this election?
CARVILLE: What Id do is just be Joe Biden, and just give people a sense of change. The best word in the political language is change. It can mean anything you want it to mean. He is going to win. He needs to keep the party unified, he needs to open his campaign to people who can come aboard, some of these weak Republicans and independents, he needs to lock down the Bernie people. Hes got to do some political stuff, which hes totally capable of doing. He doesnt need to go overboard. Hes just got to execute. And hes going to win. People dont want this guy back. Weve got to get over this mentality of 2016 like, Oh god its going to happen. No, were going to win. Weve got to win by a lot. These left-wingers will say he hasnt moved far enough on this. Hes got one job: win the election, then move where ever you want to.
MELENDEZ: Should we worry about them trying to rig the election?
CARVILLE: Oh, yes. Thats a real worry. You dont have to worry about them winning the election, you have to worry about them rigging it, becausing rigging it is the only way they can win.
You beat me to it.
I think mary is a libertarian now.
This is the left’s new strategy, offend the overweight in their base?
Have at it idiots.
“The Stuttering John Podcast”
The what?
The CDC runs the country now....
Ditto that friend.
He is nasty ugly both inside and out.
The rat party seems to me to be a Godless party.
Good ol’ James has been entertaining us for years.
The Nazi Party OWNED the media. The media did nothing but praise Hitler. There was no "discrediting" of the media.
These people just spew stuff. "I don't like Trump, therefore he's Hitler".
What does Mary Matlin see in him?
I guess the Democrats are going with the word FAT for Trump now. Well thats not going to work out well for the Democrats.
The DNC follows these rules precisely

GOEBBELS’ PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA
Based upon Goebbels’ Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.
2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.
b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.
c. It must oversee other agencies’ activities which have propaganda consequences
3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.
4. Propaganda must affect the enemy’s policy and action.
a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence
b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions
c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself
d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity
5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign
6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.
7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.
8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.
9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.
10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy’s prestige or lends support to the propagandist’s own objective.
11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.
12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.
13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.
a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment
c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness
14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.
a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses
b. They must be capable of being easily learned
c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations
d. They must be boomerang-proof
15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.
16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat
b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves
17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.
a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated
b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective
18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.
Spoken by one of the ugliest people alive
What a jerk. He must need money.
Wow how many people hear that show 25-30.....He is a joke.
Serpent Head knows the Democrats have a big problem not only with Joey Fingers but with the zeros that are running his campaign. They are thirty something morons and couldn’t win a state assembly race. He also knows there is a big pile of money to be carried off by managing Biden’[s campaign AND no down side. If he some how wins he is back in fat city forever and when he loses no one will blame him. For Serpent Head it would be a win win. Pay no attention to him.
Boy Howdy, ain’t that the truth.
Poor snake.... his head has been bashed
We see #2 in play every day with the exactly worded talking points of the msm.
I don't know what Carville is smoking but it must be powerful.
I remember in 2012 he predicted a fifty-year Democratic majority and executive.
And... The Stuttering John Podcast?!
