If JBE switched parties like Roemer, would he all the sudden be liked here?

Just curious. Some people that are touted as possible leaders ate themselves former Democrats.
Blue Dogs going (R) isn't new.

He’s too big of a disaster for Louisiana’s business climate and LSU to be celebrated.

His first term was just like Jindal’s second term. Phoned it all in.

Mitt Romney is really a Democrat. In fact I’d respect him more if he changed parties.

IOW- nobody respects a poseur. If JBE switched parties, people would see thru it. Plus he’d lose his true base of support. 90 percent of Orleans Parish.

He would have to be one for starters.

I know next to nothing about him but I would imagine "blue dogs" don't support the likes of Abrams.

Democrats are more of a cult than they used to be. Some lie to get elected but mostly their disagreements are over minutiae related to fundamentally bad ideas.

Do yall not remember John Kennedy as a Democrat stumping for Gore and Kerry?
Y'all love him now.


Trump was once a Democrat. Hell Reagan was once a new deal Democrat.

His policies make him a leftist. He’s anti-business and pro big government.

He’d be a huge RINO.

Romney would have won if he wasn't a mormon.
The religion is too odd and cult like to have the leader of the US to be a part of. Similar to Trump's comments on seventh day Adventist.

JBE is a blue dog Democrat. If he switched parties it would be fake.

The national DNC should take note. He is the only kind of Democrat who could win a national election.

Roemer switching parties from Dim to GOP is the reason why a sitting Governor was eliminated in the jungle primary by a known crook and former KKK Grand Wizard.

And we were skeptical about Kennedy until he started voting right wing. Actions speak louder than words. If JBE starts governing like a right wing extremist then I shall like him.

I contend that since we've never had a conservative president.
That the Republicans were started as a liberal segregationist party.
That conservatism is fairly new in the modern definition.

Could only mean the conservatives are truly the RINOS and have tried for years to move the Republican party to the right.

This is why a two party system sucks. We really need four parties.

Well, we aren't getting that so you have to work with what you have.

What would you call Calvin Coolidge?
