“For decades, Democrats have clung to James Carville’s mantra: ‘It’s the economy, stupid’. It became the default excuse for every campaign message, every strategy and every setback. We need to retire that phrase from our political lexicon. My fellow Democrats forget that Carville’s first rule on his whiteboard in Little Rock wasn’t the economy, stupid. It was ‘Change vs. more of the same.’ Voters still want change — not numbers, not excuses. And if President Donald Trump offers change while Democrats defend the system as it is, Democrats will lose. Today, my party is jumping onto a shiny substitute considered to be the winning message that unites all (‘affordability’) as if the idea that lower prices are better than higher ones is a revelation. Has a candidate ever campaigned on the reverse?” (09/03/25)
