James Carville: Democrats Must Treat the Republican Party ‘as an Adversary’

‘not as a partner in bipartisanship, but as an adversary’

TRANSCRIPT:

CARVILLE: "Democrats must finally treat the Republican Party as Republicans treat the Democratic Party, not as a partner in bipartisanship, but as an adversary. An adversary in the case of the GOP that will not respect the rules of democracy unless it is forced to by political defeat. That’s where we are. Goddammit, we’re not self-evident, we’re not celebrating sh*t. This country Is about to blow a gasket. And as long as you have — alright, people made mistakes. Alright, we thought they were legit, we liked them and we dealt with 'em. The only thing you can do with these people is defeat them because they don’t give a sh*t, I really believe that. It sounds, like, terrible to say this, but if you think I'm wrong, tell me."
