The article discusses the heated exchange between 80-year-old James Carville and 25-year-old David Hogg regarding the Democratic National Committeeâs strategies. Carville previously criticized Hogg for planning a $20 million initiative to challenge incumbent Democrats. However, after a debate, he acknowledged Hogg's fighting spirit as necessary for the DNC. Hogg contends that traditional approaches by older Democrats are too hesitant and ineffective. This clash reveals generational divides within the party on how to energize the electorate and makes clear the tension between innovation and tradition in political strategies.
Just called [David Hogg]. He reminded me of the story of, after the battle of Shiloh, Henry Halleck urged President Lincoln to fire Ulysses Grant. Lincoln said: I can't fire him. This man fights.' David Hogg fights. The DNC needs him.
David Hogg made a mistake. Ken Martin should call him in, read the riot act, pass a resolution saying you can't do this and get on with life.
If we're going to chase every goddamn 25-year-old that says some jackass thing out of the party...we never learn!
We can't be both the referee and also the player at the same time in elections.
