Trump Can Win If “He’s Treated Like a Normal Candidate”
Democratic political consultant James Carville expressed his concerns about the upcoming presidential election, describing it as “not a normal election” and expressing fear that Donald Trump could win. Carville criticized what he perceived as a “massive effort” to normalize Trump’s candidacy, asserting that Trump should not be treated as a normal candidate.
In a recent interview on MSNBC, Carville compared Trump to World War II Nazi military leader Hermann Goering, emphasizing the need to avoid treating Trump as a regular candidate. Carville warned that there is a chance for Trump to win, urging the media to cover him more critically and portray him as a “wretched human being.”
Carville suggested that major media outlets, including The New York Times, should continually remind the public of allegations against Trump, referencing a specific case where Trump was accused of sexual abuse. He emphasized the importance of portraying Trump negatively to prevent his normalization.
Despite Carville’s background in attacking Republican opponents as a political consultant, he acknowledged the formidable nature of Trump’s campaign and expressed concern about the potential success of attacks from the left.
