James Carville: 'I'm not Sure the Country Wants to Be Pulled Together'

James Carville: 'I'm not Sure the Country Wants to Be Pulled Together'

(MSNBC's "Morning Joe")

Democratic strategist James Carville said he is not certain Republicans and Democrats want to be united after the election.

Carville held out little hope that the country's voters could come together, during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist asked Carville what Clinton, if elected, could do to unify her side with the supporters of Republican candidate Donald Trump.

"She can do some things, but I'm not sure the country wants to be pulled together," Carville said. "I'm not sure the people who are voting for Trump want to be pulled together with the people who are voting for Clinton and vice versa. She will try, but it is almost a country that we are just really going into different camps.

"We don't know each other. Democrats don't know Republicans. Republicans don't know Democrats. People around the country are all clustered together. I don't see this changing for awhile."

"We're going to be talking about how really divided this country is," Carville said of election night. "Not just by race — divided by education, divided by geography. All the Democrats live in the cities, all the Republicans live in the country. The divisions are going to be stark."

Clinton is preaching a message of unity on the campaign trail in the hours before the election, CBS News reported.

"Let us have faith in each other," Clinton said in Philadelphia.
