Article talks about JBE's growing prominence in the Democratic party.

I follow LA politics, but not that well. Can I get a breakdown of everything JBE has done this year? I mean, just the high points.

There's a chance the DNC can pass him off as a moderate, and they have to give that a whirl.

But it all comes to a grinding halt if he won't budge on killing fetuses and the 2nd Amendment.

That idiot couldn’t get elected dog-catcher most places. Zero chance. His stock has peaked.

-got elected in a state where his party isn't strong, thanks to a weak and bad opponent

-is more an anodyne left-leaner than a wild-eyed commie

-perceived as similar in style to the guy who just beat moore in AL

-not much else as far as i can tell

i guess maybe criminal justice reform (that was also championed by the business lobby, and for which we'll be waiting for the results of for a while)

Military service, governing a conservative state, not caught with hookers yet. The bar is pretty low nowadays

He's a Democrat who got elected in a deep red state. The reason he was elected (his opponent was terrible) is irrelevant to the Dem fanatics. They are just THAT desperate.

He's a Dem that won in a red state. They think he's a unicorn, and don't look at his record at all.

They are also looking at the BS approval ratings, which are only "high" because the Louisiana GOP is worthless and no one is banging the drum publicly about how shitty he is (since it's not an election year).

Attached himself to external BP coastal restoration money coming into the state.
Distanced himself from the downturn in the petroleum sector in the state.
Saved all of our college football programs when they were never threatened.

I think because he's standing up to the legislature who is crooked as they come. Bobby Jindal took corruption to another level. Jindal was so bad anybody could have taken over and been better.

But Louisiana will always stay the same. Poor leadership in every facet.

He may have gone to West Point. I'm not sure. I think I may have heard that a time or two during the campaign.

Louisiana has been ranked the worst governed state out of all of the 50 states on his watch.. That is something he accomplished while in office.
