I don’t think I’m at peace with the 100% probability that he’s going to be defeated until I’m sure that it’s clear Craig will defeat him by double digits.
Considering that he won in 2016 despite having said that the federal government should not have outlawed slavery, I agree
Yeah, Lewis might win if it ends up as 2016 redux. I wouldn't bank on that if I was a Republican.
All I'll say is that, if he loses, this comment isn't going to be why
That's what I've been saying too. 
:I
I believe this quote completely vindicates this position. "If an issue was brought up in a previous election and it didn't succeed, there is no way that it could succeed in a subsequent election." - Louisiana Governor David Vitter (R)
I mean, yes, but the circumstances of this race are very different than those of LA-Gov 2015: instead of a Melancon->JBE level upgrade, the same person that lost to him in spite of those comments is probably going to face him again
Sure, but the political climate in 2016 vs 2018 also seems to be quite different. I suspect there will be especially a fair number of women who held their noses and voted for Jason Lewis in 2016 (or who didn't vote in 2016) who won't be prepared to do so again in 2018.
