James Carville Names 'Only Way' Republicans Can Get Their 'Party Back' In November
HuffPost
The longtime Democratic strategist weighed in on GOP figures who are reportedly hoping for Donald Trump's loss.
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville said a massive victory by Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump could prove crucial to the GOP following the election in November.
Carville, in an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber on Wednesday, was asked about a recent Politico column that cited some “long-standing” GOP figures who wouldn’t admit publicly that they’re looking to move on from the Trump era.
“Remember, Republicans got blown out in ’64 and won the presidency in ’68. Democrats got blown out in ’72 and won the presidency in ’76,” noted Carville, who cited conservative radio host and pundit Erick Erickson claiming Republicans could “benefit from a blowout.”
He continued, “So — what I tell my Republican friends — if you want your party back, if you want the kind of pro-business, lower taxes, lighter regulatory cuts, you know, stand erect at attention during the anthem, the only way you’re gonna get that back is through a blowout.”
He added that if Harris gets 280 electoral votes, however, “it’s not gonna change” for the party.
