When asked on Newsmax Saturday about recent comments made by Democrat strategist James Carville that he "has never been more afraid of what's happening in America," Dick Morris said he is right to be fearful.
"I think that [President Donald] Trump is ushering in now decades of Republican rule. I think that he's going to be incredibly popular," Morris told Newsmax's "Saturday Report."
"I think he'll do very well in the midterm elections. And I've spoken about this trend before as the Democratic Party. As Trump moves more aggressively, the Democratic Party moves to the left, partially because they oppose Trump, but also because the moderates leave the Democratic Party and the Republican Party and in some cases become independents."
Morris said that as a result, the Democratic Party becomes "very leftist."
"And you can't live in the party unless you're a certified crazy left lunatic, literally have a majority and take over the asylum," he said, acknowledging that he not only knows Carville well, but was the one who recommended him as an adviser to former President Bill Clinton.
"He did a good job when Clinton ran for president in '92. I couldn't work with him because I had become a Republican," Morris said.
"So he asked me, 'Who in the Democratic Party is most like you?' And I said, 'James Carville.'
"And he's never heard of him. And I introduced James to him," he said.
