James Carville brings down the house on HBO with blunt prediction about the GOP's future

During an appearance on HBO's "Real Time" on Friday night, longtime Democratic strategist James Carville offered some blunt advice to a Republican lawmaker on what the future holds for his party if Donald Trump remains a black cloud over the GOP.

During the "Real Time Overtime" segment posted to YouTube, the folksy and uncensored Carville spoke directly to Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), an occasional Trump critic, and stated that he better hope the former president loses in a landslide in November because it will benefit the GOP.

"If I'm one of you, I want Trump to get beat bad," Carville began. "I'm talking about a '64, '72 wipeout."

Elaborating, he continued, "You know what happened after Republicans got wiped out in 1964? They won in '68. You know what happened after the Democrats got wiped out in '72? They won in '76."

"If Harris gets 280 Electoral College votes, your party is f----d, "He blurted while the Real Time crowd burst into laughter and applause as he added, "You want a wipeout."
