WATCH: James Carville Explains to Dan Crenshaw Why Republicans Need to Lose Big This Fall [VIDEO]

During a recent spot on HBO's Real Time, Democratic strategist opined that the Republican Party can't move forward without losing badly this year. 

Dan Crenshaw should be one of the rising stars in the Republican party. He is a combat veteran who serves in an important district in an important state. And while he is most certainly a Conservative, he takes more of a middle position on issues like aid to Ukraine, gun control and same sex marriage. 

Instead, Crenshaw has been sort of steamrolled by MAGA world. He isn't in danger of losing his seat, but he really isn't rising up the ranks either. James Carville had some advice for the Texas Republican if he wanted to have a future in 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. 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."

Carville closed his message by telling Crenshaw, "If Harris gets 280 Electoral College votes, your party is f----d." At this point, the mostly left-leaning audience ripped into applause. The Democratic strategist closed his message by saying, "You want a wipeout."
