LA-Emerson: Edwards 48, Rispone 25, Abraham 19

[Frenchrepublican]

’’President Trump, who won the state by 20 points in 2016, has a 50% approval and 42% disapproval with 8% undecided’’

Sure, Dudes

Edwards probably wins the run-off if he can't avoid it, but it definitely seems like there's some truth to the idea that Democrats like moderate Republicans a lot more than Republicans like moderate Democrats.

Outside of the south this still wouldn't be much of a problem with a governor as popular and well suited to his state as JBE. Southern whites are mentally unhinged, there's no getting around it.

JBE isn’t even a moderate though.

Yeah, like Donnelly and Heitkamp he is a fake moderate.

He is to the right of Joe Manchin

How so ? Edwards is a ''southern populist'' who is liberal on economic issues while being more moderate on social issues like abortion, I guess that if you compare him to mainstream democrats he is a moderate, but otherwise I wouldn't call him a ''moderate''

This is the crux of the thing. Democrats are mature and are okay with moderate Republicans. Republicans though, refuse to generally vote for Moderate Democrats like the other side does.

I hope you're joking, right ?

Democrats are mature and are okay with moderate Republicans. : Senators Kirk (IL) and Ayotte (NH) agree with this statement

Republicans though, refuse to generally vote for Moderate Democrats like the other side does. : That's why we have senators Tester, Manchin, Brown and Jones in the Senate (and Governors Kelly and Cooper)
