Somebody explain John Bel Edwards to me

[DINGO Joe]

He's pro life, pro death penalty and nauseatingly pro prison industrial complex.

JBE did the whole prison reform thing

The state has seen a 20 percent decrease in the number of people imprisoned for nonviolent crimes and a 42 percent decrease in those sent to prison for drug possession.  Actually fell behind OK for highest incarceration rate.   Also got rid of Louisiana being the only state that could convict without a unanimous jury (via Constitutional amendment).

Probably will make him a little more unpopular in rural areas since that's where all the prison are.

He also spent money on education, which the Rs don't believe in.  Did the Medicaid expansion too.

Incredibly effective, but doesn't this just invite even worse every cycle?
(Or is my line of thinking exactly why Dems lose so often to whackjobs since 2010?)

I guess Rs better more careful about when they call their prostitutes.

If Mitch Landrieu ran for Senate in 2014 instead of his sister, he would have defeated Cassidy.  Landrieu, along with Breaux and JBE are pragmatic Dems whom can win LA
