So he's running to unseat John Kennendy and has a commercial that says he graduated from Top Gun. But then the only issue he brings up is abortion and codifying Roe? Nothing on the border and security which would align more with his Top Gun intro? I'm confused, don't think I've ever seen someone go so hard in the paint and then shoot an air ball like this.

He's a future co-loser with Gary Chambers in the race to split the 46% share of Democratic Senate votes in Louisiana.

Yep, I get it. The F-18 and carrier intro had me fired up like I'm about to put some Kenny Loggins on and then this dude only says 1 thing about abortion? I'm still trying to make the connection as this is horrible even for the most out of touch lib.

He's the guy who will finish 3rd behind Kennedy and Gravy.

The white Democrat political class is going to get cut out of the $ if the blacks actually take over the Democrat Party.

So Mr Mixon is their last gasp effort.

Identifies as a Democrat. That’s enough for me. I’m out.

He's trying to use his military service to appeal to conservative voters but using his stance on codifying Roe to appeal to pro-abortionists. Many (probably most) conservatives want abortion to be a state-level issue as it gives voters more control/say.

With nothing else on his platform, it's safe to say he's focused on appealing to conservatives who aren't strictly pro-life/anti-abortion. That's a VERY small group in this state.

While having had a military career like his earns respect among conservatives, his sole expressed stance in his commercial is something many consider extremely liberal. That lack of any other political stance thus creates the implication that all of his political stances are extremely liberal (whether the are or not).

This is one of those candidates a party has pushed to run just to say "we tried".

biggest problem I have with this clown is that in his commercial he talks about fighting extremists abroad and uses military imagery, then implies that he is going to fight extremism at home. frick this guy.

Excellent point! Nothing adds up with this guy and it's kind of unsettling. At least with Gravy you know what you're gonna get. Mixon is just whoring himself out for future war chest money I guess.

And JBE went to West Point. In other words, democrats who run on military credentials are generally pieces of shite.

Yep. What's the plan, Luke? Scramble an F-18 to deal with Trump rallies? I love that being generally against abortion is an "extreme" view now. It's also a very dense legal argument he's trying to make. How can you codify Roe at the federal level if the SCOTUS has already emphatically declared it is an issue reserved to the states? It isn't within Congress' power to do so (or to ban abortion nationwide, for that matter).

He is a now tired dem formula, one we in LA are still dealing with in Edwards. The big government dem with a military pedigree who can seem more conservative as a result. It's the 'take the house' strategy dems have used since they took the house from Bush 43.

If anyone runs on a platform that exists primarily, especially only, that Roe should not have been overturned (sending it to the states) they are a liberal. Period. Don't let them lie to you. Don't believe anything beside their name; ignore all the other talking points because if they scream "moderate"... they are not.

If they claim overturning Roe banned abortions along the way, they are a Marxist.

He's Louisiana's John McCain, without the POW cred and political career. A leftist pretending to not be.

He's a liberal who has described himself as a JBE clone.
