I don't remember anyone here really stating one way or another how the Louisiana vote was going to go. It was a runoff in the first place where no candidate was able to get 50% in the original election. And given his positions, I'd take him as governor in most situations. His positions are largely in direct contradiction to the current move of the left. If the left put up a POTUS candidate like him, he'd win in a heartbeat.
His stances on various issues.
