In the aftermath of Election Day, Democrat strategist James Carville is looking for answers as to what went wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.

The Daily Caller reports the Harris campaign spent nearly $1.5 billion since it began on July 21.

On Wednesday, Carville gave his thoughts on the “Politics War Room” podcast where he told co-host Al Hunt that there’s a spending problem in the party that needs to be addressed.

“The resistance is going to have trouble raising money,” Carville admitted, “These fundraisers are burnt.”

“The damage that the 2024 campaign has done, the damage this decade has done to the Democratic brand is almost unfathomable,” he said.

Carville followed up with what needs to happen next now that so much money has been spent. “One word: audit.”

Although Carville shot down the idea of running for chair of the Democrat National Committee, he was vehement Democrats need to figure out where all of Harris’ funding went in just a few months’ time.

“Do you have any idea where that money went? Does anybody have any idea where that money went?” he asked Hunt.

To give Carville credit, Harris most definitely did have a spending problem based on the available information.

The campaign found itself $20 million in debt after the fact with purchases like $5,000 on nails from nail artist Tahvya Krok.

If Carville seems angry and disappointed now, an audit probably won’t help as more idiotic purchases would surely come to light.

Although there’s plenty of merit to Carville’s criticisms, he’s still missing the point about the Democrats’ main problem: the message.

When you spend the election cycle – and arguably the past eight years – telling half the country they are evil racists, Nazis, and a threat to democracy through their support of a man who is supposedly America’s Adolf Hitler, they probably won’t vote for you.

Granted, money is always an issue in campaigns – having enough of it, the origin of it, who it is going to – but Carville is mistaken if he thinks better spending habits are going to win Democrats the White House in 2028.

Unfathomable damage was not exclusively caused by spending problems.

It’s a problem with the message.

According to Newsweek, Harris underperformed with black voters, Hispanic voters, and young voters compared to President Joe Biden in 2020.

Democrats don’t need to lean further into identity politics in focusing on what a voter cares about because of skin color or sex, but they do need to focus on what these voters actually want. That is, what their principles are.

Democrats need to shift their principles to more closely align with that of the voters.

If Carville really wants his party to change, they need a new message.

With less than two months to go until President Trump is sworn into office, the Biden/Harris regime is doing everything they can to make the southern border worse than it currently is.

Texas DPS this past week tracked three illegal aliens from Mexico in the brush in Hidalgo County. Two of them were wearing cartel wristbands. The smuggler, who was with the other illegals, was arrested by the DPS.

As troubling as these statistics are, the most disturbing are the unaccompanied children who cross the border. TGP reported this week of a 10-year-old boy from El Salvador, who was abandoned by his smuggler and found by the DPS wandering alone in distress.

Over the last four years under Biden-Harris, the US Constitution has been intentionally ignored as they have let in millions of illegal aliens in an attempt to fundamentally transform the demographics of the US. Article IV, Section 4 gives the US Government the responsibility to protect the border from invasion.

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution.

And so, we’ve come to the point where the ‘mean tweets’ are fully back, and President-Elect Donald J. Trump is dishing out policy initiatives and warnings to actors around the world via his own postings.

Today (30), Trump’s target was the BRICS countries: – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The ‘multipolarity’ initiative, while almost a decade old, took great impulse during Joe Biden’s Administration from hell, in which the absolute lack of leadership and national project opened the doors for other solutions in the world’s arena.

In today’s post, Trump demanded that BRICS member countries commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency that would replace the United States dollar.

If they do that, they face 100% tariffs and potentially lose access to the American market.

Here’s what Trump wrote:

“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER.

We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy.

They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.”

We can note that the President-Elect did not say that BRICS Countries moving away from the Dollar is over. What is done with is the US inertia and lack of response – the ‘stand by and watch’ is OVER.

So, Trump wants ‘a commitment’ from these countries, or else they will face monster tariffs.

“They can go find another ‘sucker!’”, he wrote, taking back a theme from the first term, that the US trade partners take advantage of dumb American policies by Democrats.

The ultimate threat is the total loss in a trade war, in which the BRICS countries lose access to American consumers.

One of the catches will be guaranteeing that the US Dollar remains ‘mighty’, since it’s been printed like mad, and lost a great amount of its former value.

While some liberal mayors and governors are continuing to put illegals ahead of their own citizens, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signaled that, at least in some cases, she will work with the Trump administration to deport illegals with criminal records.

Although she continues with liberal talking points, the move to address removing any illegal in contrast to most in her party.

During remarks to reporters, Hochul stated, “Our immigration system is woefully broken. It’s been broken for decades. There was an opportunity to make meaningful change that the Republicans in the House of Representatives killed, and they should be held accountable for that. But we need to fix the border, fix the system.”

“But I’ll tell you this, those who come here legally, we want to get them jobs. I have 460,000 open jobs in the state of New York. I want them to get the proper work permits. I want them to keep their temporary protective status, if that’s what they have. I want to make sure that they’re part of contributing to society while they’re here.”

“That’s separate from people who are criminals. Someone breaks the law, I’ll be the first one to call up ICE and say, ‘Get them out of here.’”

“There is a difference in categories of individuals. I just had a meeting this morning with my team that’s been studying all the scenarios that could play out over the next few months and what we need to do to prepare. We’ll be announcing more about that. And also making sure that our final requests to the Biden administration are secure. And so that’s something else.”

“Again, I’ll do a report on what we’ve achieved in the next couple of weeks.”

A reporter asked for clarification, “Just to be clear, are you supportive or not supportive of deporting undocumented immigrants whose only crime is either crossing the border or overstaying?”

“If they’re here with legal papers, like they came and they were seeking asylum, like this 224,000 people came to New York, they’re here legally in search of asylum, and that process will play out.”

“But there are other people who commit crimes or are known to be criminals before they arrived here. When those are identified, I’ll be the first one to help get rid of them. I don’t want them here. I don’t want anybody terrorizing my citizens. So that’s the difference.”

While Hochul’s desire to get rid of “criminals” is positive, she continues to side-step the fact that entering the country illegally is a crime.
