On Sunday, February 23, 2025, James Carville, the King of the Political Hacks, predicted that the Trump Administration would collapse within 30 days due to unpopularity.
It is now April 7, 2025 and the Trump Administration, whether you like it or not, is just chugging along.
Editor's Note: We gave Carville a few extra days leeway.
But the question should be, "Who gave James Carville a microphone?"
James Carville never met a Democrat he didn't like.
James Carville never met a Democrat that did anything wrong.
When he predicted the swift end of the Trump Presidency, what did he base that statement off of? Which way the wind was blowing? James Carville, from what I can discern, doesn't have a job. He hasn't written a book in over a decade. Yes, he's the founder of Democracy Corps, but what do they do?
So Carville rolls out of bed in the morning, scrolls through his news feeds, then has Political Tourette's Syndrome and starts blurting random thoughts into a live microphone? Carville is 80, who is listening to that?
But more importantly, what is James Carville's penalty for being so wrong?
If you have a real job, and you are as wrong as Carville was about the Trump Presidency ending in 30 days, there are consequences. Let's say you run a restaurant and you expect a million in sales over the year and you make $100,000. Your whole business model is wrong and there are going to be numerous real-world ramifications.
James Carville is a political analyst. Does he lose his podcast?
Two weeks after Carville was the lead story at the Daily Mail, he was back on YouTube speculating about Trump having syphilis and his cognitive decline.
Did I hear Carville chirping about Biden's Cognitive Decline in 2024? Uh no. After the fact, he lamented the back room antics of the Democrats, but he never called out the head of his own team in real time.
In hockey, you whack an opposing playing in the head with a stick, there are consequences, off to the penalty box you go.
At minimum, put James Carville in the Free Speech Penalty Box. Since he doesn't have a real job, take away his microphone for a month. In that month, the entire Democrat Party could collapse.
You never know.
