    Wait, was it Carville who called Republicans a basket of deplorables?

    Democrats need to stop, look, and listen-yes even to James Carville, or we are going to have a second term of President Trump.

      If we’re casting around looking for good advice from relevant people, James Carville would be way down that list.

      Maybe, but it was also this James Carville:

      In February 2020 media appearances and interviews, against a backdrop of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ rise in the polls, Carville expressed his displeasure at the prospect of Sanders being nominated, branded Sanders as a “communist” and pejoratively labeled Sanders’ base of support as a “cult”, warning of the “end of days” if Sanders were to win the Democratic nomination.[177][178] Carville used his media appearances surrounding the dustup to rail against the ascendance of progressive populist Democratic policy positions such as student loan debt forgiveness[179] and “people voting from jail cells.”[180] Carville also decried banning hydraulic fracking for shale gas.[181]

      So I’d call him pretty deplorable.

      But hey, without him, we wouldn’t have President Michael “John Kennedy Recloned” Bennett, now would we?
