Rep. John Bel Edwards needs to be authentic and tell voters who he is. Is he the liberal, union champion, big government entitlements advocate and House Democratic Caucus chairman—or is he the pro-life, pro-gun, Southern Democrat and West Point grad who is ashamed to stand with his party, the president or Hillary Clinton?
On one hand he panders to the teachers unions, pushes more government programs and brags in front of minorities about how he stands up to the “powers that be†when no one else does—and then he runs and hides when Hillary Clinton comes to town and also runs a TV spot for his campaign that never mentions he is the only Democrat in the race.
C’mon. Edwards is the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus and toes the party line. Why doesn’t he “stand up†as a proud Democrat? Why is he trying to fool voters?
Last week, Edwards went out to the Southern University campus and acted like he was their champion. He boasted how he fought to stop the merging of SUNO (which then had the second-lowest graduation rate of any urban public college in the country at 8%) with the University of New Orleans. This is not something he should brag about. He was wrong.

Exactly. A true conservative southern Democrat would never have supported Obama twice, let alone go to the convention to nominate him.
Blue Dogs all supported ObamaCare, remember?
