The ophidian old corruptocrat-enabler James Carville is now eighty years old, but he isn’t slowing down despite a string of losses and failed predictions. It is now four months ago, in the final days before the election, that he published a happy piece in the New York Times giving reasons why he was “certain” — yes, “certain”! — that Kamala Harris would be elected president of the United States. Since then, he has remained undaunted and is now crowing that the Trump administration will “collapse” within a month.
That will be a good cause for a small celebration. Pull this column out in late March, pop open a beer, and toast yet another false prophecy from ol’ Snake Boy. In the course of his endless pontifications, however, Carville has inadvertently revealed why the Democrats he loves so much keep losing elections. Carville has demonstrated, and openly admitted, that he doesn’t understand one of the simplest and clearest issues in the public square today, one on which Trump has massive support. If Jimmy can’t figure out why the Republicans are winning on that one, he has strayed so far from having any kind of accurate understanding of what the electorate is interested in and what it wants to see done that he is unlikely ever to issue an accurate prediction again — if he ever did.
The Daily Caller noted Monday that “Republicans have made protecting female athletics a political priority, with President Donald Trump signing an executive order on Feb. 5 to prevent males from competing on women’s sports teams. Carville, however, mocked GOP efforts on the issue in a YouTube video, suggesting it was insignificant and expressing confusion about why it matters.”
Apparently in the mode of giving advice to Republicans that he hoped they would run with and lose, Carville said: “You need to make this front and center in your agenda. And if you feel like that you have to protect these girls from, I’m not sure what — I don’t really f**king understand it or give a s**t, but it’s a big god***n issue to you. So, you got to be sure that you’re out there and ready to go.” Really? He’s not sure what Republicans believe they have to protect girls from?
If that’s true, Carville has spent far too much time slithering around in the grass and eating gophers and far too little listening to Riley Gaines talk about Lia Thomas and other female athletes describe how they feel when some longhaired guy is standing up there with a first place trophy and they’ve come up empty after training for six years. Ol’ James clearly doesn’t know or care about the sociocultural implications of this, or about the impugning of women’s sports and women in general that it involves, and thinks it’s a distraction from the issues that people really care about.
That was the tack Carville took next, saying: “And, you know, whenever this topic comes up, say, ‘Look, I’m sorry. I just don’t think a lot about track meets. I think a lot about people having affordable health care. I think a lot about how we can grow America. I think a lot about that they’re not going to be able to pass a debt limit, not even close, much less reconciliation, anything else. And, okay, I’ve had a little fun here. I love to have fun. I love to mock and make fun of these f**king idiots.”

Yeah, mocking idiots is big fun, so Carville should be on the lookout for incoming mockery, as the Caller points out that “nearly 80% of Americans believe that biological males ‘should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports,’ according to a January New York Times/Ipsos poll.” That played out in the election that Carville was “certain” Kamala Harris would win. The Caller also stated that “GOP advertisements portraying former Vice President Kamala Harris as being too far left on transgender issues were some of the most effective campaign messages of the 2024 election cycle, according to multiple reports.”
Carville demonstrated much the same myopia on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Thursday. Hannity said: “I see a lot of Democrats do support men, their rights to play women’s sports. You’re not addressing those key issues that are —” Carville then interrupted him to say: “I don’t know of anybody that’s sitting there worrying about who plays in the high school track meet. I really don’t … You go and worry about the high school track meet. I’ll worry about people getting good health care, okay? We’ll agree to disagree.”
Yeah, we will. And we’ll agree to watch as the Dems, if they follow Carville’s lead here, continue to lose elections. He doesn't understand the things that matter to Americans, and that's the bottom line.
