Are you implying Louisiana or any state in the Deep South is going to be anything like California? And to the downvoters Louisiana also has 2 US senators and 5 of 6 US reps republican to go along with a majority republican state legislature and obviously a republican US president who will win a second term so anything that resembles an overreach by JBE in his second term is going nowhere. I’m honestly not worried. Edwards is probably going to sit around and get the second term blues.

He’s landlocked on the local state and federal level. He hasn’t much choice but to play baseball. I don’t see anything devastatingly left ever becoming policy here, after all JBE in fact conceded to anti abortion which I give him credit for. The thing that upsets me the most is the economic loss. If Rispone was going to be anything like DJT he would loosen Regs on oil and gas and get some money into these parishes so we could fix our roads. Obviously not happening now.

True. He'll go left when he can but he won't be able to do too much damage if the legislature does its job. But we needed a Governor who could help this state benefit from the Trump economy and we just shut the door on that. Our chance to keep up or catch up economically has been put on pause for another four years. That could just be too late.

I asked his supporters in another thread what JBE would do in his second term to improve the state and all I got was "go fishin, go huntin, watch football, life goes on".
