He was admittedly unelectable at the time.

2018-03-18 04:41:58 UTC  

But in Louisiana today

2018-03-18 04:42:04 UTC  

He's probably electable statewide.

2018-03-18 04:42:09 UTC  

We have jungle primaries though

2018-03-18 04:42:19 UTC  

Like California

2018-03-18 04:42:27 UTC  

So moderates tend to win

2018-03-18 04:42:51 UTC  

Didn't Duke manage to obtain like 1/3 of the vote back then?

2018-03-18 04:43:19 UTC  

Pretty good share considering the reputation, honestly.

2018-03-18 04:43:33 UTC  

Yep, 55% of the white vote.

2018-03-18 04:43:45 UTC  

Completely defeated in the black vote, too.

2018-03-18 04:43:56 UTC  

And he defeated an incumbent Republican governor in the first round

2018-03-18 04:44:01 UTC  

Emerging in second place

2018-03-18 04:44:29 UTC  

31% and then 38%

2018-03-18 04:44:32 UTC  

Almost like Le Pen in France

2018-03-18 04:45:15 UTC  

didn't Duke hold a state legislature seat

2018-03-18 04:47:37 UTC  

Yep, he was elected to the same district that was later held by David Vitter.

2018-03-18 05:03:56 UTC  

To be honest Duke has good hair

2018-03-18 05:06:16 UTC  

interesting data breakdown for White Women voters:

2018-03-18 05:06:30 UTC  

Suburban White Women: +11 R

2018-03-18 05:06:53 UTC  

Married Suburban White Women Some College: +27 R

2018-03-18 05:07:16 UTC  

Unmarried Suburban White Women Postgraduate: +28 D

2018-03-18 05:26:15 UTC  

Of course.

2018-03-18 05:26:41 UTC  

Married white women are always more Republican.

2018-03-18 05:27:05 UTC  

And suburbs are basically just white-flight cities

2018-03-18 15:38:03 UTC  

They’re trying to look conservative

2018-03-18 15:38:09 UTC  

That’s how they think they will win

2018-03-18 16:10:09 UTC  

They might if they can replace their progressive base with the blue collar workers who used to be democrats like what Lamb did

2018-03-18 16:11:00 UTC  

But that is unlikely so long as we don’t run crappy candidates who don’t address the issues which trump won on

2018-03-18 16:24:35 UTC  

If only the blue dog coalition defected, maybe if Trump reached out to them and made a deal he could do a turnover, that's our best shot if November ends badly, but we've got to do everything in our power to make sure that doesn't happen, first.

2018-03-18 16:55:01 UTC  

Watch "Let's Talk Elections" videos, predicting Democrat landslides. It gives you motivation.

2018-03-18 16:55:17 UTC  

When are we actually going to do something impactful?

2018-03-18 17:05:56 UTC  

Let's maybe try the email campaign, that's somethibg viable we could all do

2018-03-18 17:07:39 UTC  

we first have to think about who we'd be sending it to, and what we say in them

2018-03-18 17:26:18 UTC  

@Pielover19 lol I told you about that kid right ? He literally thinks Jeff Flake running as a Democrat would beat Trump and that Michelle Obama would win

2018-03-18 17:55:15 UTC  

Thinks Graham won't be primaried out.

2018-03-18 19:06:28 UTC  

Lol I made fun of that Styx dude on Twitter yesterday

2018-03-18 19:06:36 UTC  

Total fedorafag

2018-03-18 19:07:51 UTC  

Also tbh I think we need the Blue Dogs
