‘It’s Depressing’: James Carville Crestfallen Over Trump Win As He Attacks Voters Who ‘Fell For This Sh*t’

Democratic strategist James Carville during a Thursday podcast expressed disgust with the large number of Americans who voted for President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump clinched an election victory early Wednesday and had received nearly 73 million votes, or almost 51% of the total, as of Thursday morning, according to The Associated Press. Carville, on “Politics War Room,” also said he is depressed over the country electing “a felonious bigot,” but that he will eventually “snap out of it.”

“I just have to get over the fact that I’m 80 years old and I live in a country that has put a felonious bigot, who has no idea of what the world is like, is the most parochial, secular person that you could imagine,” Carville said. “And I don’t know what percent of this defeat is because we didn’t embrace the change message or we kept something too long — was there some flaw in our strategy, in our presentation? But at the end of the day, there’s still a lot of people that voted for this.”

“And everything people in Texas knew about Ted Cruz, and the thing that hurts so bad, is Colin Allred is the very definition of a really fine person. So, I’m gonna just — I’ll have to reevaluate,” he added. “I’m sure I’ll come up with something to make me feel good again, but right now, today, it’s hard, I’ll be honest with you. And the hardest thing is that I look across this country, and tens of millions of people fell for this shit, and it’s just, it’s depressing, but I will snap out of it.”
