Last night's Democratic presidential debate featured a slew of predictable boilerplate from the candidates advocating for abortion. First, Sen. Amy Klobuchar got asked about it, and she stated the usual stuff, and then Sen. Elizabeth Warren got asked a slightly different question by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow about whether there was any room left in the Democratic party for a pro-life Democrat, such as Louisiana's governor John Bel Edwards.
Warren was evasive, failing to answer the question directly, but she made it pretty clear there was no room.

Kinda like her answer to raising taxes on the middle class to pay for her 49 trillion healthcare plan.
If just elected Louisiana. Governor, John Bel Edwards had an ounce of street smarts...he would change political parties from Democrat to Republican...immediately!!! Why? he cannot really do a thing because the state legislature is just about all Republicans!!!
On the one hand, I get upset with RINOs who hold political positions which seem very out of step with traditional Republican/Conservative politics. I consider Mitt Romney, for example, to be a Democrat.
But on the other hand, I think it is a sign of strength that the GOP has a real diversity of opinion.
The Democrats, however, enforce ideological purity. They all vote the same way on all issues. A Dem has no future if they find themselves out of step with the party.
That’s Stalinist.
Yep. With the just completed elections, the GOP has historic highs in the legislature. 1 more than a 2/3 supermajority in the Senate; and 2 shy of the 70 needed for a 2/3 supermajority in the House.
I have no respect for Edwards' "pro-life" position because he is a democrat. If he is pro-life, he should not be a member of the pro-death party. This ain't his grandpa's democrat party.
And LA elects a dem for gov?
Me thinks this ol' looosiana swamp rat has a ton of street smarts.
He passes pro-life, anti-abortion legislation and then gets the pubbie to give the teachers a $1000 raise and he takes the credit.
This guy is a West Point grad, an airborne ranger and is conservative enough to stay there, regardless of party.
He is an old fashioned "yellow dawg" demonRAT, one of the few left.
He will probably get thrown out of the party by the quad-squad.
ONLY because he’s Pro-Life.
But they better not ever elect him to the Senate or they will see that he’s just a Manchin clone. (ie. only votes pro-life when he’s NOT the deciding vote).
