Strategist James Carville Claims Top Democrats Are Telling Him to Shut Up About Biden's Dismal Polling Numbers
2023-10-29
[Breitbart via Gateway] Democrat strategist James Carville, also known as the Ragin’ Cajun, was part of the team that helped Bill Clinton win the presidency twice.

You may not agree with his politics, but he definitely knows the business of elections and how to win.

Carville is trying to sound the alarm to members of his party about Joe Biden’s awful poll numbers but claims he is being told by top Dems to shut up about it.

Breitbart News reports:

Democrat Leaders Pressure Strategist to Shut Up About Joe Biden’s Low Polling Numbers

A prominent Democrat strategist claims that "leading" party members are pressuring him to shut up about President Joe Biden’s low polling numbers in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

James Carville, a long-time political consultant who worked on both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns, told the Atlantic that Biden’s numbers are "not good" and that Democrats are trying to get him to stop talking about it.

In a Friday article about Rep. Dean Phillips’ (D-MN) newly announced bid to primary Biden, Carville said that his own party members are telling him to hush up about the difficulty the president is facing in his reelection attempt, but not because he’s wrong — his words are just upsetting them.

"Nobody is saying, ’James, you’re wrong,’" he said. "They’re saying, ’James, you can’t say that.’"

"I’m looking at polling data, and I’m looking at all of it. The president’s numbers are just not good—and they’re not getting any better," he argued.

Are Democrats in complete denial or do they know something that the rest of us don’t?

#9  What ever happened to Jim's wife ?

Mary Matalin traded the Republican party for the Libertarians in 2016. Nowadays she mostly is a pundit and sits on the boards of various organizations.

#8  James Carville always struck me as an "honest prostitute" : he is loyal to the Democrats and speaks his mind (mostly). Carville is speaking now only because he thinks Cackles and Senile are bad for the Democratic Party ...not any real public sentiment for the rest of us.

#7  He is making it harder to justify the Biden "Win" after they cheat like hell.

#6  Joe is mentally degraded with no chance of rebounding. The degradation appears to be logarithmic rather than linear. He needs a med trip to Delaware on almost a weekly basis. His poll numbers are not going to be what gets him.

#5  Carville is the one democrat i actually respect. The fact he is getting flak indicates he is right on target.

They know something that the rest of us don’t. Unfortunately, for them, what they know ain't true.
