James Carville – Republicans imploding, in midst of a collapse

From the NY Post.

Carville, 80, on Friday urged his fellow Democrats to play “possum,” stay out of the way and let Republicans implode as President Trump plows ahead with his dramatic overhaul of the federal government. “What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” Carville mused to Mediaite founder Dan Abrams.

The veteran Dem guru was the top strategist in Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign when Democrats soared back into the White House after 12 years of Republican rule.

Carville, who confidently proclaimed in October he was “certain Kamala Harris will win” and wrote a book in 2009 about how Dems would be the dominant party over the next 40 years, decried progressive hardliners who have a knack for being noisy.

“These people were just useless,” he moaned about certain progressive activist groups during the last election cycle. “They’re actually worse than useless, they’re detrimental. And they never, ever learn to shut up.

Citing polling data, Carville argued that Trump’s approval rating has been taking a nosedive and that within a matter of weeks, Republicans will be almost completely hobbled in Congress.

“It’s going to be easy pickings here in six weeks,” Carville added, addressing Democrats. “Just lay back.

“We’re in the middle of a collapse. It’s over.”
