Democratic strategist James Carville isn’t one to hold his tongue, and in an interview with The Hill this week, he wasn’t shy about offering his uncensored options on former President Trump and No Labels, the group flirting with backing a third-party candidate.
The longtime political adviser to Bill Clinton known for his folksy tone, was unabashedly critical of the No Labels effort, criticizing the group for not being open about its donors.
A number of Democrats fear the effort could cost President Biden the White House if he and Trump are the major party nominees.
Carville was salty with his thoughts.
“No Labels is my favorite,” he said. “They won’t tell you where their money comes from; they say they’re funded by undisclosed corporate dark money. And they won’t take a position on anything.
“But yet they’re offering the American people something new and fresh,” Carville added. “That’s a good line of f—ing bullshit there.”
Carville dismissed the idea that anyone other than Trump is likely to emerge from a GOP primary, arguing the Republican electorate seems to “hate” anyone opposed to Trump.
The former president’s legal fights and personal health are the only things that might stop him from winning the nomination, Carville said.
