Joseph Cao has a long career ahead of him

[Holmes]

some people still think coalitions are built by subtraction, it's hilarious.   If Cao-clones occupied all of those Democratic districts, a far-fight agenda would fly through Washington like a laser through melted butter

I should try doing this in one of my labs if I ever have the time, just to see if a laser travels through melted butter quickly.

Also: Cao isn't even supposed to be New Orleans' Rep, in that his election was a lucky fluke. Wouldn't you rather a Republican who votes with you "20%" of the time for 2 years, or a Democrat who votes with you 0% of the time, forever.

[Holmes]

Even if he voted with the Republicans 20% of the time, it would be a lot more then the Democrat that district would elect.

And the things he does vote with the Republicans on will likely be the those that the GOP is wrong on...its time to put principles over party.

When he votes against the Republicans, he's bad. When he votes with the Republicans, he needs to put principles over party?
