Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville suggested on Thursday that Democrats should quietly prepare to launch a variety of structural changes to ensure a political advantage once they regain power.

Carville and co-host Al Hunt of the "Politics War Room" podcast took questions from listeners on an episode released Thursday. One asked that if Democrats return to power in 2029, whether they should "flood the zone with a corrective implementation policy using their majority to simultaneously enact a myriad of structural changes to save our democracy and preserve our rights?"

"I’ve got some thoughts about what the Democrats should do [when] they return to power in 2029," Hunt replied. "But, you know, I haven't thought it through thoroughly, yet. I'm really focused on what they should do when they win the House and maybe the Senate in 2027, and that's to hold Trump as accountable as they possibly can."

Carville, however, offered a more aggressive plan of action, saying, "If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on day one, they should make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F--- it. Eat our dust."

Are the republicans paying Carville to say this stuff?  It's no wonder the democrats have 35% favorability ... their base wants a slew of policy changes, but the party just wants to rig elections so they can enrich themselves and never be held accountable.

There have to be at least a few Democrats who know this guy is off his rocker. Surely. A few. One or two, anyway.

If Carville says it, it ain't quiet.
