(CNN) To hear Rep. Steve Scalise tell it, President Donald Trump nearly won the Louisiana governor's race all by himself. "Eddie Rispone made up a 22-point disadvantage over the last month because of President Trump's involvement," the Louisiana Republican congressman said of the party's gubernatorial nominee. Edwards won it with 57% of the vote on Saturday. It's long been accepted wisdom that no one motivates the Republican base like Donald Trump. But with results like in Louisiana, Kentucky and Virginia, it also appears to be true that no one motivates the Democratic base -- and the swing suburban vote -- like Donald Trump either.
