He and Nate Silver strike me as perfect examples of how a white guy can get one important thing right one time, and from that time forward be treated like a genius about everything rather than just your average, mediocre analyst who made one good call.
Why won't he go away? thehill.com/homenews/cam...
Democratic strategist James Carville argued “too many preachy females” in the Democratic Party could be to blame for President Biden’s bleeding support from key voters. In an inte…
Thank you for succinctly explaining 30 years of frustration with this mf.
No one in power ever seems to notice the calls this sector of media people miss so it behooves them to keep making them regardless of knowledge or experience with a given matter.
I assume the one important thing for Nate was predicting the rise of the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays, which many of us used to make a small fortune. Been all downhill since that
and they both just lucked in to those single correct calls, it turns out.
Jim Carville hasn't had "his finger on the pulse of working class, rural America" since the early 90s when he first became a famous and wealthy political strategist...just because he sounds like what coastal liberals think a "working class white guy" sounds like, it doesn't actually make him one.
I mean preachiness is real but it's clearly not even remotely limited to democrat women in the party.
This means we're going to get at least another 30 years of bad Silver takes.
Years ago there was lots of ink spilled re: “how can a Republican and Democratic strategist be married? Amazing!” But if you hear him talk for 5 minutes, you realize he’s pretty far right and a terrible human.
Carville doesn’t exist in isolation. He’s emblematic of parts of the party that have ossified into a living time capsule. It is always 1992, the correct move is always to court moderate republicans, base and youth told to swallow the tough pill. Mr. 538 on the other hand is just internet poisoned.
