The Democrat will lose, whether it’s a gay black liberal greenie or Theodore Bilbo’s ghost. Pressley will decisively lose.
An interesting question (for me, at least) - why voters for a long time made a distinction between "national Democrats" and, say, "Mississippi Democrats", and then (rather suddenly) stopped to do that? For a long time Mississippi voters were more then liking to vote Republican for President, sometimes - for Republican candidates for Congress or Governor, but time after time voted for their Democratic state legislators and local officials (usually - rather conservative, though, typically - less so, then their Republican counterparts). And then almost everything stopped, almost all voting went along "party lines" and difference between "national Democrats" and "Mississippi Democrats" - suddenly vanished in people's mind. The same - in rural Louisiana and Alabama, the same - in Florida panhandle, and so on. And all this - in less then 15 years (very short time by historic standards), 15 years ago (and even 10) there were tons of locally elected conservative Democrats, now even remaining (few, of course) Democratic conservatives usually have no chances. People became more dumb and vote as robots? Or what?
The answer is a lot of the people who were doing that have just simply died or gotten so old they’ve stopped voting or are unable of it. The “younger” generations were reared under the Reagan Revolution and have since become the majority voting block. Most of the “older white conservative” democrats in state legislatures have either themselves died or retired.
