Episode 169: James Carville

James Carville’s nickname is The Ragin’ Cajun. Some critics consider him a pit bull when it comes to his work as a political consultant. Carville became famous when Bill Clinton hired him as his lead strategist in 1992 and he helped the guy from Hope beat George H.W. Bush to become the 42nd U.S. president. Carville’s aggressive tactics are highlighted in the documentary “The War Room.” He’s also famous for being part of a couple who are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Carville has been married to former Republican strategist Mary Matalin for more than 30 years. He now co-hosts the podcast “Politics War Room.”  He also spends a lot of time trying to figure out how to help the Democratic party regain power. We talk about what went wrong and how scared we should now be on this episode of “Now What?”
