Democratic strategist James Carville said on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” on Tuesday that Democrats are “making a foolish choice” to endorse Joe Biden for president.
“Cook has moved six states away from the Democrats,” Carville said. “Watching anybody’s press conference reminds me of a book I read in college called Ship of Fools. Desperate people sail to disaster. And I don’t think a coward has ever beaten a criminal in a war. The way to beat a criminal is not to be a coward, but to confront him directly. Nothing I’m seeing is going to change my mind one bit or change my mind about where we are.”
He added, “I’m with Sen. Patty Murray, who’s been in the senate for over 30 years. What she’s said publicly is his own words, completely different than what people say in front of the cameras. So I’m still going to stick to my position that he’s not going to run. But if he does run, we’re just making a foolish choice for the future of this country. I have to believe that. And, you know, the proof is in the pudding. They’re taking the state away from us. We’re losing. We’re not winning. If we lose, America loses. That’s it.”
