Leave it to James Carville to be a buzzkill with the entire Democratic Party consumed by an orgy of celebration after the successful coup against its former nominee Joe Biden.
Even though most of it is manufactured and fake, Dems and their friends in the media are wildly enthusiastic about their new candidate Kamala Harris, an incompetent DEI hire who was a no-show for the one major responsibility delegated to her by her boss as his “border czar.”
The longtime political strategist warned that the party could soon be over and the GOP will soon be coming for Harris after Democrats were surprised by the suddenness of the toppling of Biden and the coronation of his cackling veep who didn’t receive one vote in the primaries.
In a recent appearance on PBS’s “Firing Line With Margaret Hoover,” the “Ragin’ Cajun” warned that the Harris honeymoon isn’t going to last and that the election isn’t going to be the slam dunk that many Democrats are giddily predicting it will be.

“I think that she has a record, she’s going to have to come up with some proposals. But I think a lot of it is going to depend on her ability to define herself, and I actually think she’s going to have to introduce herself, because she’s really not that well known,” Carville said.
“Republicans are going to try to introduce her on their terms,” he added. “I don’t blame them, I would do the same thing, and she’s going to have to get good fast.”
“That’s all I can say, and I’m not very giddy about this, I’m not cocky at all, I think we have a tough election ahead of us,” added the 79-year-old veteran of the political wars.
Carville has been a fixture in politics since he was widely credited as being the architect of Bill Clinton’s underdog 1992 White House campaign with his slogan “It’s the economy stupid” catching on with voters who delivered a stunning defeat to President George H.W. Bush who had previously enjoyed a 90 percent approval rating during the Gulf War.
He was also among the first ones who sounded the alarm about Biden back when anyone who pointed out his mental decline was smeared as a “conspiracy theorist” when the party was solidly behind the deeply unpopular octogenarian.
Asked how Harris would be able to “sustain this excitement” of the initial lovefest, Carville dispensed his sage advice.
“That’s the key question. The first thing is to recognize what happened. What happened was that people wanted something different and that she just projects the fact that she is, you know, excited about the future, and there was no policy that anyone was pushing, there was no particular group that was behind this,” he stated. “It was just a general feeling that people wanted a different choice than Donald Trump and President Biden, and they got it.”
“Look, she’s going to get slaughtered, they’re coming, and this is just part of — no different than it was any other time. And they have got to get up and get ready and they’ve got to be able to defend and attack at the same time,” Carville warned, a hint that things could soon turn nasty for “Kamalot” and its newly crowned queen.
“I have to be the skunk at the garden party,” Carville said during a recent MSNBC appearance. “This is too triumphalist, ok? This is — everybody’s giddy. I look at the coverage and it’s great.”
He added, “Get ready…they’re coming, all right? And it’s good. Everybody should feel good and liberated and everything else. But if we don’t win the election we haven’t done anything. This kind of giddy elation is not gonna be very helpful much longer ’cause that’s not what we’re gonna be faced with.”
