James Carville Says Trump Has the ‘Smell of a Loser’ in Campaign’s Final Days

Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday that Donald Trump's campaign "smells like a loser."

Carville, who predicted late last month that Vice President Kamala Harris would win, explained to MSNBC 's Ari Melber one reason why he's sure about that outcome.

"Because I've worked on so many campaigns, I have a lot of experience on losing campaigns, and I know what they feel and look like," said Carville, a strategist for Bill Clinton's successful 1992 campaign, and also for the ill-fated presidential bids of John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Colorado Sen. Michael Bennett four years ago.

"Kamala's campaign is not losing. It's more unified," he told anchor, whereas "Trump is trying a new message every other day, his people are finger pointing , [and] they're all blaming each other already."

After acknowledging that he may not have the same access to information as some pollsters out there, he said: "But I do know smell when I smell it. And his campaign has the smell of a loser, to me."

Harris' camp, on the contrary, has "more energy and more unity going into it, and I place great value on that."

Later in the segment, Carville invoked a centuries-old proverb while arguing that the conservative-majority Supreme Court overturning is a major factor boosting Harris' chances: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
