    He might not be completely wrong. Has the Democratic party become too 'feminine'? Of course, not everyone is thrilled with this description:

    Carville has always been able to see it like it is. And the days that "feminism" has been replaced by "mommy said so" are numbered.

    Meanwhile, back in reality, those uppity wimmen have been kicking conservative butts in election after election.

    No wonder Republicans hate those uppity wimmen so much.

    Old snake eyes may have something there. Men who say they’ll vote for Trump,48%, for Biden 38%. Women, Trump 39%, Biden 46%. There’s certainly a gender gap there. Whether caused by preachy females or not, it exists.

    The last time a democratic presidential candidate won the men vote was in 2008, 49-48 Obama over McCain. The last time a republican presidential candidate won the woman’s vote was 1988, G.H.W. Bush 50, Dukakis 49.

    Something tells me this was more of a personal outburst than legitimate political strategy. Leaning into misogyny isn't the answer. The GOP will always have the market cornered on that. It would be like trying to beat the GOP on firearms or worshipping Trump.

    This guy does not need to see naked grandma to be traumatized. I suspect he just has to look at himself naked to get the job done.

    That's because of the abortion issue, which is a loser for the Republicans.

    He's off the mark here, but his comments after the 2020 election about extreme progressive politics dragging the party down were on the mark.

    I think his point was the Dems should not only focus on social issues but also the economy and foreign policy:

    He's right. The woke leftists preach about everything every day, and that includes many preachy females telling us how we should live our lives.

    He's very smart and shouldn't be ignored by either side.

    James Carville needs to get his head out of his rectum. The Democrat Party has left him in the dust. He's not going to be running any more of its campaigns because even he is not far enough left for the current group of Democrat socialists.
