“I’m 80 years old and have no idea what this world is like, and I have to get over the fact that I live in a country with extreme bigots who are the most narrow-minded and secular human beings. . . . imagine that,” Carville said. “And I don’t know what percentage of this defeat is because we didn’t buy into the message of change or because we held something out too long.
