If Jon Bel Edwards wins in LA tomorrow, it is because he ran the way Democrats SHOULD run: STRONG

[RBInMaine]

I love this guy ! Jon Bel Edwards is one TOUGH campaigner. Yes, he's a social conservative but actually pretty progressive on issues such as retirement security, education, Medicaid Expansion, infrastructure investment, etc. And he POUNDS on his opponent BEAUTIFULLY. That is the kind of Democratic Party we NEED. Take the RePUKES to the WOODSHED !! STRONG ! TOUGH ! CLEAR!
Not this bla bla bla jelly-spined meeley-mouthed horseshit we see WAY too often from Progressives/Democrats. Just YouTube the debates he has had with Vitter-The-Whore-Chaser. He beats the CRAP out of him. It is BEAUTIFUL !! THAT IS HOW YOU RUN!

[RBInMaine]

1. GO JON BEL!!

[SunSeeker]

2. Yes indeed. Time for Vitter to be sent away to his room!

[RBInMaine]

6. Good one!

4. He's also a good dude!

He'll do the right thing by the people of Louisiana.

[RBInMaine]

8. Yup. Good man who cares about people and SMART and ACCOMPLISHED.

[Nye Bevan]

5. To be fair, also because Vitter is a despicable, hypocritical, prostitute-using piece of shit.

Having said that, I do like Edwards.

[RBInMaine]

7. And Edwards has basically called him just that, to his face !

[JI7]

9. he is running against Vitter

[RBInMaine]

12. And he has been smacking the crap out of him, which is WONDERFUL.

[JI7]

14. It has been fun to see

[RBInMaine]

16. Vitter is a lying, cheating, FRAUD.

[joshcryer]

10. +1

[RBInMaine]

15. Vitter must GO.

[joshcryer]

17. Best of luck to your state.

It's a fine time coming.

[msongs]

11. after 7 yrs of placating repubs dems ought to wake the eff up...if its not too late already nt

[RBInMaine]

13. Do what FDR, TRUMAN, JFK, LBJ and CLINTON did. POUND THEM HARD !

18. remember, he did come out against the refugees coming to LA.

I trust people here won't be saying "he sold out to 'racism.'" Or trying to primary his next term.

If he wins, it will be a demonstration how capable Dems can be in the Bill Clinton South (states in South he won twice) if you're not "othered," like Edwards woulda been had he been on the side many of our fellow progressives are on with the Syrian refugees.

19. If you are going to be a purist, then enjoy LOSING FOREVER. He is PROGRESSIVE on MANY issues.

[ericson00]

20. what do you mean ME be a purist?

I'm the one saying that Edwards wasn't a purist. In fact, Edwards showed that when you have liberal economic policy but a non-liberal defense policy and worldview, the red states are winnable.
