Okay if Louisiana votes for that absolute scumbag Vitter over the man of true integrity and honesty John Bel Edwards because OOGILY BOOGILY BROWN PEOPLE then they no longer deserve the rights and privileges of this great Union and should be ejected immediately tbh. But I do believe that at least a slim majority of Louisianans will see through Vitter's slimy and desperate tactics and make the right choice (though the South hasn't given me much faith in that as of late...).
In what world are "integrity" and "honesty" more important than policy? I'm sure there are a lot of Louisianans who think they are. But really, sure, Edwards is considerably more right-wing than the national Democratic Party, but he's still either identical or to the left of Vitter on literally every issue.
I'm going to be completely honest, I'm not really sure how any well-informed individual who cares about policy can be a split ticket voter in the context of the modern party system. We don't live in a country where there are Democrats who are more conservative than Republicans. Above the local level, literally every Democrat is to the left of literally every Republican. If you vote for a Democrat, you are going to get considerably more liberal policy than if you vote for a Republican. And yet, I'm sure that there will be thousands of Louisiana conservatives who will vote for Edwards later this month. The same way that Massachusetts and Maryland liberals elected Baker and Hogan last year.
So if Louisiana actually elects Edwards, my question will be, do these people just care that little about policy, or are these voters really that low information?
