LA 2019 Gov Race: Gov John Bel Edwards wins a 2nd term

[Comrade Funk]

I have this race as Lean D

Democrats need to appeal to rural voters.

Democrats can chew gum and walk at the same time.

If Democrats are a big tent party, prove it. Show up in rural Louisiana tomorrow.

Jobs, healthcare, policing reform.

That's all Democrats need to talk about.

THEY.DON'T.CARE. All they care about is "muh caravan, muh abortion, muh 2nd amendment".

Yep. People need to face the reality rural whites in LA, WV, OK, OH, etc are NOT closet socialists (no sh**t). They're just not lol. Remember how Ojeda got BTFO in #populist WV-03? When you devote your day listening to Mark Levin, Hannity, and Laura Ingrahm, you're gonna develop a certain mindset.

Only makes Bernie's "poll" about winning West Virginia and Oklahoma more laughable.

I say Tilt D in the runoff, but it wouldn't be surprising in the slightest if Republicans run away with this.

Pity.

Luckily King Phil still waves the standard of the independent thinker up north.

Don't forget about Baker and Hogan. They sailed to victory last year, but Edwards is going to have to fight just to get a bare majority!

How can it be so close? Edwards is pro-life

Edwards is a communist, in the view of many Louisianians. All they see is the D after his name, and they care about nothing else.

Democrats (primarily white) like to feel enlightened so they vote for 'Moderate FF Republicans ' like Baker/Hogan in landslides.

Republicans are increasingly more tribal, getting their news from Hannity and Levin. Manchin (who underperformed the polls) and JBE are perhaps the last two left (if JBE even wins).
