James Carville’s signature discipline is getting straight to the point. The democratic inventor of the past Bill Clinton In his own words, the slogan “It’s the economy that counts, stupid” is providing a tailwind shaking the knee of America three weeks before election day. Because of the frozen Head to head racing around 48 percent between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris still nothing moves. Because on November 5 there will be a real tremor.
And this despite the fact that Donald Trump recently set new false records with truthful statements about Haitians allegedly eating pets and the failure of the government to provide aid in the hurricane-stricken states.
Carville loses that with the Vice President and her campaign “Killer Instinct”. The former public prosecutor, who will be 60 years old this weekend, is not acting inconsistently and aggressively enough for himself and other left-of-centre campaigners at home straight from the election campaign to contrast with the Republican knot.
Things are not looking great for the Californian at the moment. Euphoria of the first few weeks when Joe Biden announced that its withdrawal is long overdue. Also from her victory i TV duel He gained no lasting momentum against Trump. While Biden was about ten percentage points ahead of Trump four years ago, Harris’ lead has dwindled to two or three percentage points today.
Which is de facto within the margin of error. So: no decision; but for now with more fun aspects to it republican. Why is that so?
“Too many happy hour interviews and lifestyle talk shows,” is the usual criticism in Washington Democrats“too careful tactics and empty rhetoric”. James Carville says what many partisans only think.
Strategic mistakes

So it is interpreted as a strategic mistake for her not to show any signs of separating herself from the current manager Joe Biden. When she appeared recently in the high ratings and before When asked on “The View,” the most-watched women’s talk show on television, if she would do anything differently, looking back, than the 81-year-old, Harris replied not much dua: “I can’t think of anything.”
For a candidate who claims to be offering a “new path into the future”, this is “something very poor”, according to even party friends and would like a little more self-criticism. For example, what was neglected in the case in the early years of the Biden-Harris administration America-Mexico border where more asylum seekers were admitted into the country than before.
Or the story that Joe Biden, the prime minister of Israel, has not yet succeeded Benjamin Netanyahu better care for the Palestinian civilian population; for example by stopping the suppliers of rockets and bombs.
In the Lion’s Den – on Fox News
On Wednesday evening Harris will enter the lion’s hell: too Fox News, the station that honors Trump. What should she say then from the counsellors’ point of view? Trump was never what he claims to be now. That he wanted to end the health insurance of his predecessor “Obamacare” instead of strengthening it. That the “Supreme Court”, which became right-wing as a result of Trump, would be ideologically biased for years.
That Trump’s promises regarding the massive deportation of illegal immigrants represent a kind of neutron bomb for the American economy: billions in lost revenue for the treasury and shocks to the labor market in important industries such as construction, agriculture and hospitality.
Those are the ones Trump ultimately promised Tariffs on foreign imports it would only do one thing: higher bills for low-income families.
