Dem Strategist Says His ‘Cracked Out Clown Car’ Of A Party Needs ‘An Actual Savior’

Longtime Democratic Strategist James Carville let loose on his own party in a scathing op-ed, calling it “constipated,” “leaderless,” and “a cracked-out clown car” that was barreling down the road toward a “civilized civil war.”

Carville has often taken Democrats to task in recent years – particularly with regard to their obsession with “wokeness” — and his column in Monday’s edition of The New York Times was no exception.

“Our party is headed for a civilized civil war. It’s vital that we have it, and even more vital that we delay it,” Carville teased the column in an X post, acknowledging that there had to be some changes made within his party but calling on the people to try to keep it together at least until after the 2026 midterms.

“Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided. These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles,” Carville wrote.

Carville went on to lay out the divisions made obvious by the rise of Democratic socialists in places like New York City — Queens councilman turned Democratic Mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, for example — and argued that the party would have to face a reckoning of sorts. It needed to happen, he conceded, but said that it should wait until after the 2026 midterm elections.

The solution, Carville claimed, would come in the form of a “savior” — one candidate who could bring about a New Democratic Party that brought both sides together. His assessment was that such “saviors” had arisen before in former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

“The Democratic Party is steamrolling toward a civilized civil war. It’s necessary to have it. It’s even more necessary to delay it. The only thing that can save us now is an actual savior, because a new party can be delivered only by a person — see Barack Obama in 2008 and Bill Clinton in 1992,” he said. “No matter how many podcasts or influencer streams our candidates go on, our new leader won’t arrive until the day after the midterms in November 2026, which marks the unofficial-yet-official beginning of the 2028 presidential primary contest. No new party or candidate has a chance for a breakthrough until that day.”

Whether or not Carville’s message will be well-received by Democrats remains to be seen. If former President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter is any indication, the likelihood is that it won’t.

“James Carville hasn’t won a race in 40 f***ing years,” the younger Biden said during a recent interview, sharply criticizing any Democrat who’d conceded that it was time for Joe Biden to bow out. “[David Axelrod] had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama.”

‘F*** Him’: Hunter Biden Unleashes Profanity-Laced Rant On George Clooney For Abandoning Father

Former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, discussed many topics during a three-hour-long interview with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan, including a rant against major Democrat donor George Clooney.

Clooney infamously turned on Biden after his disastrous debate performance, urging him to drop out of the presidential race last July in an op-ed in The New York Times.

“F*** him,” Hunter said of the A-list actor. “F*** him and everybody around him. I don’t have to be f***ing nice. Number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. F***ing George Clooney is not a f***ing actor. He is f***ing like… I don’t know what he is. He’s a brand.”

Hunter went on, “And by the way, God bless him. You know what? He supposedly treats his friends really well. You know what I mean? Buys them things, and he’s got a really great place in Lake Como, and he’s great friends with Barack Obama. F*** you. What do you have to do with f***ing anything? Why do I have to f***ing listen to you?”

“What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his f***ing life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the f***ing New York Times to undermine the president at a time in which, by the way, what do people care about the most?”

“Why do you think that the Republicans have an advantage over us? Because they’re unified,” Hunter said.

Clooney’s op-ed called out Biden’s mental fitness, saying the former president could not “win” a fight against time.

“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal‘ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” Clooney wrote in part. 

“We are not going to win in November with this president,” the actor added.
