Really is how you have to break it down, national polls don't mean much. Amazing how close everything this, the parties, the battleground states.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville blamed “too many preachy females” in the party for decreasing President Joe Biden’s appeal to men, especially minority voters.

Carville gave his politically incorrect take to Maureen Dowd in her opinion column published Saturday by The New York Times.

This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”
