CNN contributor Wajahat Ali claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump could do more for the Republican Party if he went back to Mar-a-Lago and just golfed for a year.

Ali joined anchor Chris Cuomo on “Cuomo Prime Time” to discuss the North Carolina special election and what to expect going into 2020. (RELATED: ‘Every Shade Of White Under The Sun’: CNN Contributor Mocks Diversity In Republican Party)

“Here’s what we know, okay?” Cuomo began by suggesting that because the North Carolina election was too close for comfort, it could prompt Republicans to pull out all the stops going into 2020. “I don’t care what happens tonight in this ninth district, its closer than it should have been. That’s going to make them start talking about what are we doing here message-wise, just went down there, thought we had a great rally, didn’t come out the way we wanted, why?”

Cuomo went on to argue that a tight race proved that Trump was having problems adding to his base. “What does that make you think about who you have to put in the position? Because they’re not going to argue about single payor plans. He’s going to be going at whoever it is as a bum from day one,” he said.

Ali said all Democrats should be on offense. “Democrats should be aggressive. You’re comparing yourself to Trump. Compared to Trump, every single democratic candidate is a flaming moderate,” he said. “In that poll you showed, all seven are head to head beating Trump right now. Be bold with your agenda, your policies, your health care policies, your climate change policies are far more popular than Donald Trump’s policies. Attack, attack, attack. Quit bringing a fork to a gun fight, Democrats. Fight Donald Trump. You can take him on.”

“This is what I think Donald Trump should do,” Ali continued. “He should go to Mar-a-Lago and not do anything for an entire year. Don’t tweet, don’t do anything. Just golf, because then he would improve the Republicans’ chances of maybe winning.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
