James Carville is a person nobody should take advice from ever again.

Carville needs to 'strategically retreat' back into whatever Louisiana snake hole he slithered out of.

The Democrats seem to have come up with two strategies so far: either (1) wait and hope someone does something, or (2) play dead and hope someone does something.

Dude hasn't been correct about how to win elections since 30 years ago, and hasn't been correct about policy ever.

And then he won because he was running Bill "I don't literally hate black and gay people" Clinton against a proven liar who tanked the economy, in an America that cared about those things.

I don't usually take advice from fucking fossils. Sanders is the exception.

Seriously, Carville is fucking 80, hasn't he been myopically dictating the direction of this useless fucking party long enough?
