Today in Fun Old Hacks, the New York Post has a delightful piece about a striving-to-remain relevant Democrat strategist (from the Bill Clinton era) flapping his dentures about how the Most Winningest Popular Administration in generations is somehow on the brink of “collapse.”
Talk about wishful thinking replacing observation and analysis.
James Carville predicts Trump, GOP are in ‘midst of a collapse’ — and gives them 4 to 6 weeks to fully implode
Renowned Democratic strategist James Carville has delivered a stunning prediction that the Trump administration is in the “midst of a collapse” and will crumble within four to six weeks.
Carville, 80, on Friday urged his fellow Democrats to play “possum,” stay out of the way and let Republicans implode as President Trump plows ahead with his dramatic overhaul of the federal government.
“What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” Carville mused to Mediaite founder Dan Abrams.

The elderly Dem guru was the top strategist in Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign, when Democrats soared back into the White House after 12 years of Republican rule.
His wild prediction comes mere months after Trump became the first Republican to win the popular vote in a presidential election in two decades, making gains in more than 90% of US counties.
Carville, who confidently proclaimed in October he was “certain Kamala Harris will win” and wrote a book in 2009 about how Dems would be the dominant party over the next 40 years, decried progressive hardliners who have a knack for being noisy.
“These people were just useless,” he moaned about certain progressive activist groups during the last election cycle. “They’re actually worse than useless, they’re detrimental. And they never, ever learn to shut up.
“I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion.”
Fascinating assertion, just fascinating. Americans are cheering every exposure of absurd waste and corruption as the DOGE data scientists blew right past The Swamp’s usual delay, lie, deny, delay, lie and obstruct tactics.
Citing polling data, Carville argued that Trump’s approval rating has been taking a nosedive and that within a matter of weeks, Republicans will be almost completely hobbled in Congress.
The mood at CPAC last week was downright ebullient. The CPAC crowd is delighted with all the cost-chopping and DC pink slips. Carville may not have heard.
I may be biased, but I am hearing across the board joy from normal Americans who watched four years of “there are, like, totally, 97 genders and Bobby is suddenly Jane in his senior year so he can steal all the gold medals from girls, and also their college scholarships” nonsense.
That prediction comes against the backdrop of protests against GOP lawmakers such as Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) during town hall and other events last week.
Historically, there had been similar occurrences in past off-election years such 2017 and 2010 that served as a harbinger of the minority retaking the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
Trump, 78, has undertaken a blitz of executive actions over his first month in office and tapped Department of Government Efficiency boss Elon Musk to pursue cuts and other reforms of the federal bureaucracy.
Those actions have alienated government workers and their unions but have generally been met with much fanfare by conservatives.
Let’s be clear - every single American taxpayer is finally getting a view of what I wrote about in my brilliant, thoroughly-research and groundbreaking inspiration for DOGE:
And what they are seeing is making them as angry as it made me. $350,000 for “an LGBTQ+ AIDS awareness play in Uganda,” $450,000 for “environmental community capacity building”- yeah, I don’t know what that is, either - in Bangladesh, $2.9 billion to Hamas Jew killing terrorists, er, “Fakestinians who are well-fed and dressed in the latest fashions but the UN claims are starving peaceniks.”
Yes, Jimmy-C, the American taxpayer sure is upset to find out that this insane waste is ending. They are creating Lean-In Tax Me More groups around the nation to demand the corruption, waste and support for terrorists continues unabated.
Carville also suggested that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will struggle to get Republicans on board for Trump’s marquee agenda package, which has already proven to be very challenging given the party’s threadbare majority in the House.

“It’s going to be easy pickings here in six weeks,” Carville added, addressing Democrats. “Just lay back.
“We’re in the middle of a collapse. It’s over.”
Would Jimmy like to bet any amount of money he chooses that he is 100% wrong?
If you know him, give him a call and ask.
I’ll take the other side of that action all day long.
Carville’s level of dementia is even worse than his fellow comrades on the left.
Snakes will be snakes, especially Cardung and all the rest of the Demented.
