Appearing Thursday on The Stuttering John Podcast, former lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s 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? What’s going on here? Tell me.
JAMES CARVILLE: What’s going on is [Trump] is going to get his ass beat. He’s 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 it’s all white people fighting against non-white people, men fighting against women, I don’t know, gay people fighting against non-gay people, it’s all bullshit, and call him on it. The country does not want him back. We’ve got to beat him bad.
MELENDEZ: He’s managed to discredit the media, which you know that’s what Hitler did, that’s what Putin does, just discredit the media, so that anyone who reports badly on him, he’s going to say it’s fake news, right?
CARVILLE: So he’s got 41 percent of the country? The hell with it, that’s 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 Clinton’s strategist, what advice would you give Joe Biden to winning this election?
CARVILLE: What I’d 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. He’s got to do some political stuff, which he’s totally capable of doing. He doesn’t need to go overboard. He’s just got to execute. And he’s going to win. People don’t want this guy back. We’ve got to get over this mentality of 2016 like, “Oh god” it’s going to happen. No, we’re going to win. We’ve got to win by a lot. These left-wingers will say he hasn’t moved far enough on this. He’s 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. That’s a real worry. You don’t 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.
I wonder if he would say Stacey Abrams has a fat ass?
Asking for a friend...
When was the last time she was on television? Haven’t seen her in years!!
Just as it is with the Clintons, their marriage is a business partnership.
Snake Head Skeletor thinks fat shaming will work? Get a grip. The US has a lot of overweight citizens.
I remember James Carville.
Probably hasnt aged well.
That’s the democrat hand book 100%.
If you are talking about GOP elected officials, that is absolutely true.
Stacey Abrams, a woman of many achievements, is not only Phat and Black, she is a racist and a provocateur and probably
diabetic.
Every ounce of global power is going to be turned against DJT and our votes on 11/3, and some here completely oblivious to the threat facing us. Politics isn't going to fix the mess we're in.
Someone needs to rub Serpent Head’s face in Joementia’s adult diapers if Trump is reelected.
That would be very sad, because I want to see him WEAR A WASTE BASKET once again...and the rest of the liberal networks cry...
Hang on...DJT hasn't yet begun attacking old Joe...and Joe will not be able to answer ...he is too mentally ill and lost in the woods...
Joe Biden offers nothing...all he does is babble scrambled up words...hard to follow let alone understand...
Jesse Jackson once said, "It's better to HOPE to get something from Clinton than to actually get something form Bush." Running on a "sense of change" from something that is working is dead on arrival. Biden and the democraps only have socialism to offer. Losers.
Carville is basically the lefts Karl Rove....
He had his moment, and its long long gone... Why anyone pays attention to what either of them has to say is beyond me.
James Carville = irrelevant.
Carville has always been a snake. I’ve seen some conservatives claim that he’s somehow more reasonable than the despicable swamp creatures he surrounds himself with. Nonsense. Carville puts party above country as much as any other Democrat.
