The veteran Democratic strategist came out swinging with his tactic.
Patience will ultimately be a virtue for Democrats when it comes to tackling President Donald Trump, argued longtime Democratic strategist James Carville.
Democrats have to learn to let the returning POTUS “punch himself out,” Carville told guest host Katie Phang on Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat.”
“Remember Muhammad Ali and his rope-a-dope?” Carville asked, referring to the late, legendary boxer’s tactic of taking punches to wear his opponent down before delivering a devastating response.
Ali would “just go to it the first six or seven rounds and then you come in and you measure up and then you start launching bombs,” said Carville.
It is “hard to sit here and just look” as Trump floods the zone but “you just got to keep bobbing and weaving, bobbing and weaving and then, in due course, you’re going to be able to come in,” said Carville.
