He can talk all the talk he wants. Republicans don't fool with black people enough to hand him these keys.
Now a Senate seat might have worked for him. He could have been an order taking placeholder like they wanted Walker to be. But Governor? He might as well come try for Governor of Louisiana.
They like this talk from anybody breathing. But they
love this talk from a white male.
That's really the bottom line. He racked up some votes from the populace for the primary. But a lot of votes against him will be from Republicans as well as middle of the road voters when it counts.
They will be the party of the Forgotten White Male for quite some time yet.
