Good Stuff. But I have to admit that seeing the name John Bel Edwards scared the hell out of me.bearister said:
"President Trump blessed and helped win, against the odds, the Florida and Georgia governors races in '18 an astonishing display of political muscle.
This year, in two more conservative states, Trump tries a similar feat Kentucky earlier this month, and Louisiana yesterday and flopped.
In Louisiana, "Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards claimed a second term [last night], winning a stunning victory in a heavily Republican state and beating back repeated attacks," tweets and visits by President Trump, The Advocate of New Orleans reports.
"Edwards defeated Republican businessman Eddie Rispone with about 51% of the vote, polling 40,341 ballots more than his opponent out of more than 1.5 million cast."
How it happened: "Urban ministers, organized labor and black politicians worked for Edwards, the 53-year-old who is the only Democratic governor in the Deep South," per The Advocate.
"Rispone ... had Trump at his side at rallies along with $2 million and 60 paid staffers sent at the last minute from the Republican National Committee and millions more dollars from the Republican Governors Association." Axios

So does Roger Stone deserve his own thread for getting convicted?

Is there something about expanding Medicaid, raising minimum wage and supporting teachers that you disagree with?concordtom said:Anarchistbear said:

In other words, he's the opposite of me?
Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.

Can you secure extra funding to add Stephen Miller to that study? Do you think there are any former Moonie deprogrammers that can kidnap Miller's fiance and save her?

Expanding Medicare, show me how it's paid for. I'm into being fiscally sound (against the national debt) and so am loathe to expand it if means risking the US Dollar.
Raising minimum wage, I believe this ships jobs overseas, causes inflation, slows economic activity overall. (My assertion has been countered on BI previously, and caused me to consider a few things about that differently.)
Supporting teachers - I am totally for increasing investment in broad US education!!! Smaller classrooms, higher teacher wages (which would attract better and brighter), and more advanced educational opportunities. Up everything here! Would make us more competitive in the future, (opposite of what raising minimum wages would do).
