James Carville advises Dems to be patient and let Trump 'punch himself out'

"It's hard to sit here and just look at one, you know, Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal Zone, delta smelt that, you name it. But you just got to keep bobbing and weaving and bobbing and weaving. and then in due course you're going to be able to come in. But the big thing is his number one promise, the biggest political promise this generation is he would get food prices down. Then he got into office and said, 'There's nothing I can do about it. Of course, eggs are $4 and something a dozen.'"

Carville believes that if Democrats resist the urge to fight Trump on every issue, and focus on the big picture, they'll be back in the saddle soon enough.

"He keeps distracting us and we keep getting distracted. But we'll come back in and we'll we'll straddle this target and get it in range here before long, I think."

These comments from Carvile come on the heels of similar comments made by the strategist recently. 

Carville was a prominent media presence throughout the 2024 presidential race, advising his party on how to beat Trump and being critical of its messaging when he deemed it necessary.
