‘I’m Worried’: James Carville Reveals His ‘Only Hope’ For Combating Trump Admin — But There’s A Problem

Democratic strategist James Carville disclosed during a Thursday podcast that his “only hope” for countering President Donald Trump’s administration is that Americans will turn on it — but the president currently enjoys strong support.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said Tuesday that the percentage of Americans who believe the nation is “on the right track” has surged under Trump and that his net approval rating is also near its peak. However, in response to a listener question on “Politics War Room” about whether he currently worries “more about the crazies” than during other points of his career, Carville said he was uncertain, but that he believes “the public” may already be solving the “dire situation” in which the country finds itself under Trump.

“I’m worried about the future of the United States, and I’m not exactly sure how we can deal with this, but deal with it we’re going to have to,” Carville said. “That said, it’s a good question and I struggle with the answer … In Trump One, we had some non-crazy people of which he made sure we weren’t going to repeat that.”

“It’s a dire situation. And my only hope is, and I think it might be happening, is the public is going to have to solve this for us,” he added.

A survey by Marist, published March 3, showed 45% of Americans believe the U.S. is on the correct path, which Enten said was the second-highest that the survey research center has recorded since 2009. An NBC News
