Democrat game plan
Y’know, if AOC (or for that matter any Democrat) is going to get elected, if they are smart they are probably going to have to come to James Carville for advice – at minimum.
For those who don’t know, or don’t remember, Carville was the eminence grise campaign manager who had a finger in most national Democrat elections around the turn of the century, and at last count 23 nations’ elections overseas.
Nicknamed the “Ragin’ Cajun“,[2] Carville gained national attention for his work as a lead strategist in Bill Clinton’s winning 1992 presidential campaign.[3] Carville also had a principal role crafting strategy for three unsuccessful Democratic Party presidential contenders, including Massachusetts Senator John Kerry in 2004, New York Senator Hillary Clinton in 2008, and Colorado Senator Michael Bennet in 2020.

Like him or not, he’s probably the smartest SOB in the Democratic Party. Republican equivalent? Karl Rove. Oddly, Carville is married to Marleee Matalin, a prominent Republican… proving that not only do politics make strange bedfellows, but that occasionally bedfellows make strange politics. Regardless – note that ‘smartest SOB’ part.
He’s looking at the Democrat Party Vice Chair – yes, their own little Davey Hogg. In case you missed it, David Hogg managed to get himself elected to that semi-august position so is in a position to direct a good hunk of campaign funds, into running Democrats against – Democrats?
Leaders We Deserve, a political organization led by Hogg, announced on Wednesday that it will spend $20 million to help elect younger Democrats. The effort includes supporting primary challengers to House Democrats in safe seats that Hogg argues “are asleep at the wheel.”
(In fairness, that is how AOC managed to get elected – people in her district thought she could help them and do something about the rampant crime there. Hah!) Run those young activists against old established names…got it.
Carville told CNN those plans “the most insane thing” he’d ever heard, and questioned why the newly elected DNC Vice Chair isn’t using these funds to “take on a Republican.”
“He is an officer of the Democratic National Committee… And so he has a fiduciary duty to the Democratic Party, and he’s going to raise $20 million and primary Democrats?” Carville questioned.
“Does he really think the problem that we‘re facing in the United States today is because we got 65-year-old Democrats in office? Why don’t you take on a Republican? That‘s your job,” Carville asserted.
“The most insane thing I ever heard is the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee is spending $20 million running against other Democrats. Aren’t we supposed to run against Republicans?”
Man, it sucks to get old and fail to see that you have to be progressive – hip – young
“I‘m not part of the hip generation. I’m not very au courant. But I actually thought our job was to beat Republicans? How quaint, how quaint of me,” he quipped. Fox News
Me, I kind of like the idea…but I’m happy to see them eating their own young.
Update 4/21 – l’il Davey is supposedly putting his money where his mouth is – news says he donated $100,000 to the to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). No info on where he sourced that $100K.

Ol’ Snakehead is not happy.
Loved him in Lord of the Rings…
Biden isn’t term limited you know. They could run him again and if he was right then he could win another term. We would just have to put a big map in the oval office marking clearly where Iraq and the Ukraine are on it so he doesn’t keep mixing them up.
If Carville had hair he would part it just like Hogg.
Hogg is a milquetoast (always wanted to use that) with arms like pipe cleaners, but he isn’t wrong that it would probably be smart to clean out the old Dem deadweight, and do so quickly. Problem being what he wants to put in would be ten times worse for America. Separately, I did see something where his followers were called Hogglodytes….
Carville is a bit like Maher: someone I can’t stand yet is occasionally right about things.
Put them in a metaphorical ring and let them very publicly battle it out, but make sure it’s dragged out so long the party is still discombobulated well past the mid-terms.
If the demonrats continue to eat their own, it will save us the trouble of feeding them to feral hawgs. The hawgs will appreciate it. They have feelings too, you know.
Yeah, but how will the hawgs get that taste out of their mouth?
Did you see the size of hoggy boi’s arms ?
I swear my wrists are bigger than his arm.
It’s like he’s the scrawniest human on planet Earth…
They’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
He was born without biceps.
You should see the special BP cuff he needs.
I’m half like the hog with the long head bicep of my right arm popped off with a pop when Sis and I were in Walmart around 2016 and I thought that my Springfield .40MM was pushing against my tee shirt, I tried pushing or pulling the butt and then I heard a pop go by by.. Up till that point, I had a rotator cuff problem since 1970 and I was told that the attatched head was hanging on by strings so I have what bikers say are a Pop Eye bicep muscle. Got the rotator cuff repaired the the left a couple of years later. Speaking of by by, how about ‘By By Baby ‘ by Earl Lewis and the Channels 1957 on the Fury Label.
Slap him hard enough and he will queef.
Not a very high bar, granted. I’d say “craftiest” instead, though.
Can’t argue that he has been successful. Not really all that upset that he’s been sidelined.
Why would anyone in any party put this farcical little dipshit in charge of anything beyond being hoisted on a post in a cornfield?
Look!! A Hitler salute!!! He’s a nazi.
Problem is it’s hard to see that little twig he’s holding up.
Ok, ok, so if David Hogg and Tampon Timmy got into the ring, who would win? I know that Tampon claims to be hyper masculine and might even know which end of a piece not to point at his head, but my money would be on “Guns” Hogg! And if he couldn’t beat Lil Timmy in the ring, he could defiantly beat him on the video game version.
