He got a a majority of the white vote when he ran for governor of Louisiana. Is that marginal?

He lost handily because of people of color. Majority of whites voted for him. Why do you think Trump hesitated to disavow?

He also lost because the state GOP opposed Duke and rallied around Edwards. Duke is not a formidable political figure in Louisiana

Exactly. I don't understand what's to be gained by pretending there aren't ideological white nationalists in America.

Not pretending they don't exist, just reminding that they are marginal figures.http://www.counterpunch.org/2009/05/15/king-of-the-hate-business/ …

Scalise speaking at a conference, while bad, doesn't mean he's a personally an "ideological white nationalist."

No but that's not what we're saying. We're saying white nationalist is enough of a force for him to want to cultivate
