LA Democrats are liberals and which conservatives, but the big Republican corruption machine just took another hit to its toot toot.

Bless their dirty hearts.

The young guy that won talked about protecting the seafood industry (very big there) and reducing people's taxes (good is done in the right way). So now he is a centrist, but he is a democrat and looks young, so there is a chance for him to grow as his state becomes less conservative (it is starting to develop some high tech industry, that is a good indicator of the future).

You can't elect AOC in the deep south. It doesn't work that way.

Better to get moderate Dems than radical Repubs.

Go Louisiana!
