Democrats in the Louisiana House have lost another member, the second party switch in less than a month amid a yearslong decline in Democratic electoral fortunes.

State Rep. Jeremy LaCombe, a Democrat who was elected in 2019 to District 18, spanning parts of Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge parishes, said Monday he is switching his party affiliation to Republican.

Republicans in the state House recently gained a supermajority – a crucial threshold for overriding vetoes and passing tax measures – because another Democrat, Rep. Francis Thompson of Delhi, switched to the GOP. In that case, the state GOP held a press event touting the news.[/quote]

Both were DINOS.  Good riddance of garbage.

You are one of the main contributors to Trump’s win. Voters were turned off by your orthodoxy, so we lost.[/quote]

Evangelical right wing racists and misogynists are responsible for Trump's won as well as Palestinian- Americans who were so naive (and stupid) to believe trump actually have a flip about them.[/quote]

Sure, there were many contributing factors to Trump's 2024 victory but the very obvious primary factor was the unprecedented circumstance of an incumbent POTUS seeking a second term and then backing out of the race just 3 months prior to Election Day. Combine the actions of that historically unpopular incumbent with the fact that the incumbent party was left with little choice but to nominate the unpopular incumbent's VP and you have a situation where the incumbent party has zero chance of winning; even against a relatively weak opponent.

Biden paved an easy path for Trump to win a second term. It's as simple as that. Overthinking something this obvious is counter-productive.[/quote]
