Why Did Trump Win? James Carville Has Discovered an Unsettling Answer.
The veteran strategist explains how Trump's victory revealed a major problem in the way Democrats communicate with voters—and unveils his idea for a new way forward.
As Democrats sift through the wreckage left behind by Donald Trump’s victory, it’s become clear the party needs a major rebuilding effort with the working class.

Carville also unveils a new project he’s pursuing that he hopes will begin to solve the problem.
