James Carville is on tv again warning Dems not to alienate moderate voters by being too woke

[StarfishSaver]

72. There are obviously quite a few people here who know far more a out being "woke" than Carville does

Carville was a great political strategist in the 1990s. But that was 30 years ago - and he's been trading on it ever since, with little else to show for it.

What successful campaigns has anyone actually paid him to work on in the last 10 years?

As far as I can tell, he spends most of his time now making money on his reputation and wacky persona. I don't know that anyone serious about winning elections has paid for his advice in quite some time. Probably because his chops have gotten a little, shall we say, dull ...

In 2007, he dismissed Barack Obama as the candidate "most likely to explode or implode."

In 2010, he said, "If Hillary gave up one of her balls and gave it to Obama, he'd have two."

After the polls closed on election night 2018, he looked at the map everyone else was looking at and announced that the Democrats had blown it and there was no Blue Wave.

In 2019, he loudly endorsed Michael Bennett, who, with Carville's wind in his sails, went on to win 0.3% of the vote (with a whopping 963 votes) in the only primary he ran in before dropping out of the race.

So, while he was great a few decades ago, I'm not all that impressed with him these days - and am sure there are plenty of people here who know more than he does. They definitely know not to say the kinds of dog whistles he's throwing out there.
