On his Politics War Room podcast, Carville mocked “the people who go on TV on a panel after the election and say, ‘Don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine,’ and ‘We can work with him.’”
He also scoffed at those who are holding out hope that “some responsible conservative Republican is going to save us from this.”
Carville declared: “They didn’t come, they’re not there, OK? Let’s just get over it, they’re not coming, the cavalry is not coming, the courts are not coming, nothing.”
The podcast host referenced New York Times’ chief White House correspondent Peter Baker writing about Trump’s thinking on Gaza as “so far outside the box that it was not clear he even knew there was a box.”
Carville agreed with Baker, saying: “That’s what we’re dealing with.”
The strategist suggested that Democrats need a new game plan where they “pick a unifying theme” that the American public “will find to be credible” and “excite them.”
Carville noted that “it has to be true.”
He added: “This is a government by billionaires, for billionaires, of billionaires, and that’s all it is.”

Carville argued: “Gaza? He just wants all of his friends to get rich, they want to open casinos on the coast, they don’t think about you. All of this stuff is a giant shakedown effort, and I think that is … you’re not going to get it perfect, but you have to give people a credible explanation of this craziness because it’s inexplicable.
He continued: “I think the way we’ve got to look at it is through the eyes of a billionaire.”
Carville went on to say that Trump’s cabinet contains “every charlatan and crook-incompetent buffoon,” before asking incredulously, “What are we waiting on?”
He lamented: “It ain’t coming. No cavalry, nope. Listen as hard as you can — not coming!”
