“Stop the bedwetting!”
Please do not fret, my wayward little children, James Carville says. The words above are from this writer. But the message is precisely that: Kamala Harris, Carville says, will win the election. Stop the bedwetting!
We DO deserve our title of bed wetters, do we not? This writer is not immune from worry. Worry is one of the brain’s most toxic poisons, a toxin that can eat up said brain if we let it, releasing noxious chemicals that kill our joy, determination, and idealism. CUT IT OUT!
Carville is not wavering. Calling the more worried parts of our party “sweaty democratic operatives who love to run to the press,” Carville is not sweating it. He wrote a piece for the NY Times explaining that he is “putting all his chips on Harris.”
“Wailing on the winds.” It’s true. If even ONE poll comes out and Harris isn’t 3 or 5 points up, this wailing, like angry feral cat starts in earnest. Carville explains Trump is a “repeat electoral loser.” He brings home the point that Harris has outraised and outpaced him in every possible way.
Carville also says Trump has been losing elections for the GOP right and left since he came on the scene. I, too, hope the bedwetting and endless laments stop. After all, Harris is still ahead in about 90 percent of REAL polls—maybe 95%.
The best thing to do when the stress gets to you is do as a family member of mine did just the other day. “I’m going for a walk. I want to see trees.”
A most excellent idea! And one that helps clean the mind, washing away the chaos and re-placing it with sunny and brisk mindsets. I hope Carville is right. I happen to agree with him and virtually everything he said. We’ll see in just a short time from now.
