A renowned Democrat strategist is warning Kamala Harris that she risks losing to Donald Trump – unless she tells the far left wing of her party to ‘f*** off.’
James Carville – who helped Bill Clinton‘s successful 1992 White House run – had correctly predicted President Biden would drop out of the race, but supported an open ‘mini primary’ rather than installing Harris.
However, now that Carville is supporting the Democrat nominee, he’s demanding she not listen to the ‘woke’ progressive side of the party.
‘I wish she’d tell them all to go f*** themselves,’ Carville said, adding that the ‘squad’ acolytes are always ‘dead-a** wrong’ on policy.
‘Understand this, and I’m going to say this as clearly as I can: Anybody that has ever listened to anything that the progressive left has ever said has lived to profoundly regret it,’ Carville added.

When asked by the Politics War Room podcast, he cited progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren’s failed 2020 presidential campaign as an example of progressive failures.
‘Ask Elizabeth Warren and Medicare-for-All. She blew her campaign up with one speech, all right? I’d love to read a good article on who really was the strategic idiot behind her 2020 presidential campaign, because they were real f******’ idiots, alright?’
Harris initially supported Medicare for All when she ran in 2020 but has since flip flopped on the issue.
Carville also said progressives were to blame for failures of the Biden-Harris agenda, such as the border crisis.
‘And why is the border an issue? Because Biden listened to these people early in his term. They weren’t just wrong; they were catastrophically wrong. Understand that,’ he said.
He referred to the far left as ‘literally walking catastrophes’.
‘And the faster people realize that, the better off they’re going to be. And they don’t have very much power,’ Carville added.
It’s far from the first time the ‘ragin’ Cajun’ has taken shots at the left, after incendiary comments he made to The New York Times in March.

Despite his overall approval of the incumbent president, Carville said that he suspected there to be too many ‘preachy females’ in the party.
He added: ‘”Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.” The message is too feminine.’
Carville appeared to be taking a shot at the ‘The Squad,’ a group of Democratic members who are seen as being on the left side of the party.
Members include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.
On top of that, he also complained that ‘ woke stuff is killing us’ and that the left was talking in a language that Americans did not understand.
In one anecdote, he spoke of his time teaching at Louisiana State University, and heard how one of his students had got into the school of her dreams to work on an advanced degree.
Wanting to toast her, he recalled to the outlet: ‘I get a $25 champagne and four plastic flutes, and I said to the students: ‘All right. You are not going to get out of James Carville’s class unless you know how to properly open a bottle of champagne.
‘Here’s what you’re going to do. You don’t pop it like you see in the movies or you’re going to poke somebody’s eye out.

‘You take the foil off. Now you’re going to take a dishcloth, and you’re going to execute the classic counterclockwise movement.
‘The bottle is going to go one way; the cork is going to go the other way. You just ease it out, and the sound that you are looking for is the sigh of a satisfied woman.’
Carville added: ‘The next Tuesday, the dean comes into my office and he said: ‘I’m closing the door. We need to have a talk. A female student had complained about the sighing line.’
He told the outlet that he wanted to tell the dean, ‘Her boyfriend has never heard that sound,’ but responded ‘I’ll endeavor to do better.’
