Like, actually conservative -- the NRA likes him (I think; he had a 93% score from them in 2015 when he first ran) and he's anti-abortion

He's running for re-election

come on guys its pretty interesting, there aren't many democratic politicians that can get away with these positions any more

I think one reason for it is that there are a lot of Catholics in LA so even democratic activists there are likely to be softer on abortion rights

Probably the only way a Democrat could win in Louisiana.

Interesting flavor of Dem and a model for the party should it ever wish to regain power in the south

Probably not gonna see much more of politicians like him though

Being anti-abortion should disqualify you for political office, or a pay above minimum wage.

Seems fine to me. I don't expect all Democrats to have the exact same views

"the only way democrats can beat republicans is by agreeing with republicans on everything" is a stupid take

I think reducing interparty differences to two issues is an even more stupid take though

I think that's a bit reductive

It's not about just taking Republican positions it's about knowing what issues you gotta give leeway on and framing other issues properly

Wanted to cut education and hospital funding to deal with the deficits...a big no no.

Louisiana is still tanking on job creation, despite a booming US economy...another strike.

Id be really shocked if he manages to win handily this election, especially with the negativity towards Democrats as a whole.
