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

The Duke campaign was a pivotal event in formation of paleo-conservatism, which was direct precursor of Trumpism.

Then you should know that they all promoted either working with Duke or co-opting his base. Explicitly.
