Do Yourself a Favor: Listen To James Carville's Take on the State of the Race

Blunt and brutally honest, Carville has some strong advice for Dems going forward.

He also talks about the biggest danger for Dems.

Beyond that, he gives his blunt assessment on top Republicans (McConnell, Graham) and makes a suggestion on who the next Dem AG should be.

It’s well worth a listen.

James is introduced at 1hr, 32 mins in.

He shares a lot of truth.

2. He was so candid and so clear. I loved it. Dems need this voice speaking to people.

Great find. That was McCarville as I always envisioned he would be if he didn't have to tone it down to be acceptable on national tv.

11. Exactly. Nobody could've foreseen Comey's bombshell

and she would've won easily without that, as most of the top pundits also predicted.

Carville knows what he's talking about and is simply giving Dems 'tough love'.

He actually runs a decent interview here.

Carville brings up a great point, there’s not enough fight and meanness on our side. I’ve been saying for years that we need to stop bringing knives to gunfights. Get these sons of bitches on the ground and don’t stop kicking them, ever. Stop being the nice guy and taking the high road, get in there and slice these bastards to pieces. James is great in this interview.

14. I couldn't agree with Carville more. It's not enough to just beat Trump...

...we have to beat Trumpism. And it needs to be an absolute pounding. I won't be happy until I see Ivanka and/or Jr. in tears.
