    Carville is one of the architects of Clintonian triangulation, which directly led to the corporation-dominated, do-nothing Democratic Party so miserably exemplified by the DNC.

    And speaking of Hillary Clinton: if she hadn’t been the boss’s wife, she would never have had a political career. She’s a bloodless neoliberal technocrat who’s too charmless, smug and entitled to actually engage with voters, and the “it’s my turn” message didn’t resonate with anyone.

      Literally. Carville looked at the electoral success of Reagan and said to himself “I need to find the DNC its own Reagan”. And he did, in the form of Bill fucking Clinton.

      Carville’s strategy had always been little more than an attempt to drag the Democratic party to the right for the benefit of no one.
