[@jamesryan8091]

Tell a story. Beautiful. I want to visit the States. He mentions towns, people, parishes. Beautiful!

[@deanmthomson]

Fascinating, interesting insiders view of a political operator from behind the scenes.

[@lindaburnham570]

I love James Carville.

[@rrbaggett7]

There appears to be an inordinate amount of scattershot vitriol in the comments directed at Carville, Democrats, liberals, & & leftists. One wonders if commenters even bothered watching or merely saw his name & reacted. Perhaps a few hate-watched this lecture? What a disturbingly peculiar "hobby."

[@steveinsbrook2479]

2020 Millions of liberal lemmings were propelled to vote by pure hatred. Orange man bad. Its evil, the Russian influence was on the democrat side. Democrats are pure evil.

[@DreadMaximus]

Carville looking sharp and fit, impressive

[@michaelorlando]

Anyone here post-election?

[@33479Leigh]

We need term limits

[@jamesryan8091]

I love this guy.

[@jimspatz9211]

who is the moderator?

[@bluffem]

46:28 - 47:45 Carville's true brilliance. Humility.

[@JohannnesBrahms]

"If you're not a hypocrite, your standards are too high." The homespun wisdom of this man is astounding. Aside from that he is entertaining as hell. I can't think of a better political expert that has his finger on the a. . hole of America. . . warts and all.

[@leary4]

Jesus Christ man, he is a fucking wart. He is fucking swamp monster. He is what made American politics such a rolling shit hole for decades. How does a man who publicly calls a rape victim (his boss's victim) trailer trash have the nerve to go about in public.

[@stephj9378]

he's analytical, to be sure. But i'm into this video about 30 min and i've not heard anything about the POLICIES. DT won because his policies were best to help us get back on track. Not go back to 1958!

[@leary4]

@@stephj9378 Who would not want to go back to 1958? Even blacks lived better lives.

[@suezgol194]

that was awesome. JC is a very smart dude. And to think I used to despise him.

[@billbyrd9845]

Who is the woman on stage with Carville?

[@Booer]

33:00 book recommendations 53:10 quote about confidence without hubris

[@jumblyman]

I was disappointed nobody asked James what he thought of Dominic Cummings' obsession with him.

[@Colorado63011]

Miss you on TV James

[@Blessedone333AZ]

Oh well if you miss his lies and manipulative propaganda all you have to do is go turn on MSNBC or CNN. All those Talking Heads say the same propaganda lies

[@jerryarcher6916]

I don’t see James Carville and his wife Mary Matalin these days, they are the most interesting couple, I would like to know what they’re doing these days.

[@aviduser1961]

I like his ice cream.

[@Mgmt]

What watch is that with the blue dial? Looks awesome

[@kingofgaming1264]

Patlu is like James charville in motu patlu

[@wadesaleeby2172]

He sure has the colourful language bit down pat 🤪. Perhaps he should have considered his audience 🤔

[@GH-oi2jf]

I think the remark Quayle made about “Latin” was a deliberate joke.

[@Brandespada]

How could this guy become "famous" in the first place?

[@payetteman]

Campaign manager for Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign

[@wadesaleeby2172]

I think I'll listen to The Cure...goodbye 👋

[@juliepoppy1021]

If there was ever an argument for the movement that says reptilians live amongst us. They just need to use this persons photo and they wouldn't have to change it.

[@jordanjordan9022]

Gollum has really let himself go.

[@kellyedey549]

Why is it so fashionable to dislike trump?.

[@brotherrabbit8539]

Because he does not have any allegiance to the US Constitution. He only cares about himself. He has bragged about many awful things, but perhaps the worst is bragging about being extremely greedy.

[@Mike-01234]

Should California and NY control the entire country just because those areas are highly populated. The reason people like the Republic is some can live in Montana like right wing politics some can live in San Francisco live in liberal left life. One should not tell the other how to live.

[@jonmannella5181]

What are you talking about at all? WV elects Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat, to the Senate. People want a functional government. If you want a government that actually works - like every other developed nation - you need to elect the functional party.

[@jonmannella5181]

PS the Senate is elected by 18% of the population. Eighteen percent!!! That means 82% of the population doesn't get a say in our government!!!

[@malcolmfraser7939]

A revealing talk on many levels. I caught the following : 1 -The young man who asked a question and said he was studying medicine - JC said " ..I hope your coming back to Louisiana ....". Donald Trump is talking about imigration and how those with ability should be staying in their countries...DT is not being racist, he's saying build your country. 2 - JC also said " ..there are a lot of rich democrats in London these days ya know....". the reason they are rich is Donald Trump has reorganised the economy. The US $ is stronger than £ and € is as a result of Republican policices .... again DT is attracting money into the US from off shore havens ..The economy is booming because Republican policies are working.

[@Frisbieinstein]

Earth's most badly dressed man?

[@Ethan-nk8cf]

i think u mean well dressed?

[@MrLoudAndWrong]

What? His socks match his tie? That is coordination.

[@GH-oi2jf]

Frisbieinstein - Not even close.

[@hardnoxgrad5763]

This man needs a surprise Drug Test performed on Him.

[@d2d2d28]

He’s exactly the same, energy and all as he was during Clinton’s first campaign. No drugs.

[@lindaburnham570]

I love James Carville
