Carville Slams Crockett for Breaking ‘First Rule’ of Politics

Famed Democratic strategist James Carville has a brutal opinion of Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Senate campaign.

“She violates the first rule of politics, and that is, in politics, you always make it about the voters and never about yourself,” said the 81-year-old consultant on Thursday’s Politics War Room podcast.

“What wins elections is not sitting there talking incessantly about yourself,” he added. “Winning elections is not how many clicks you get or how much overnight fundraising you do. Winning elections is being part of framing issues and understanding where people are coming from, and I don’t think Crockett is very good at that. I’ll be very frank.”
