James Carville Says There's 1 'Brilliant Thing About MAGA,' And Dems Should Learn From It
HuffPost
The longtime political strategist said the Democratic Party ignored a key group of Trump voters.
Democratic strategist James Carville criticized his own party Thursday, arguing that Democrats ignored working-class people who voted for President Donald Trump in the last presidential election.
In a recent episode of the podcast “Politics War Room,’ Carville told co-host Al Hunt that politics boiled down to winning elections — and while it’s tempting for Democrats to tell Trump voters, “I can’t believe how goddamn stupid you were,” the party actually needs to try and persuade them to switch sides.
Carville said he has no sympathy for the “corporate asswipes” who went along with things like Trump’s toxic rhetoric about immigrants just because they wanted tax cuts.
He does, however, have some sympathy for another group of Trump voters who he believes can help Democrats win elections.
“I have an iota of sympathy for somebody whose life hadn’t turned out right... and the brilliant thing about MAGA is it gives you an explanation other than yourself of why your life didn’t turn out the way you wanted it,” Carville said.
