2019 Louisiana governor race

[Message Board User 12,389]

Hugo and others are probably more familiar with this, but early voting starts today for their "jungle" primary.  Election day is 10-12-19 and then the top 2 candidates will have a run-off 11-16-19...unless a candidate gets more then 50% on 10-12-19.

I can't imagine that Louisiana would be stupid enough to vote out John Bel Edwards (who inherited a $2 billion deficit from Bobby Jindal and turned it into a surplus), but this is Louisiana.

Latest polls have JBE in the mid to upper 40s while Rispone & Abraham are in the 20s, so there probably will be a JBE vs Rispone or JBE vs Abraham run-off on 11-16-19.

Which one of the candidates farmed out the most jobs to other peoples' families, as opposed to their own? There's your vote count.

John Bel Edwards

Wins easily because he’s a Republican masquerading as a democrat

This guy is a fucking clown that is running on Trump

Trump’s current problems couldn’t have come at a worse time for Rispone

Only you could shit on a Democrat winning a statewide race in Louisiana, a state that Trump won by 20 points.

I’m just telling it like it is.  JBE is on the wrong side of many issues for political expediency.  

I’m still going to vote for him today.  

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,356]

Also, the narrative of “JBE is a Republican masquerading as a Democrat” plays really well for JBE here in Louisiana.  It’s not a slight.  It’s exactly why he’s going to win.

Bel Edwards is lucky that he doesn’t have to share the ballot with trump and deal with his MAGA degenerates.

 

louisiana had a big deficit before Bel Edwards and now they have that problem fixed. Bel Edwards should win this one.

Which one is the candidate who claims on his commercials that he should be elected because he believes in only 2 genders?

Has to be Rispone

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,356]

Lolz, they know JBE appeals to conservatives. 

Anyway, I voted today.  Straight ticket democrat except in races where there were no democrats.

Three races were all republicans, I left those blank.  

Line was pretty good all morning, my wait time was about 5-10 minutes. 

[Message Board User 12,389]

Yep - Rispone is hitching his wagon to Trump.

That teacher pay raise JBE passed was chicken scraps for teachers already getting paid next to nothing.  It disgusts me that he’s credit claiming on it for re-election purposes.

Fucking moron is splitting the Republican vote by backing Rispone and Abraham.

Yeah I would LMAO if JBE ended up getting 50% of the vote, eliminating the need for a run-off.

Seems like the kind of thing that would happen to a MAGA idiot like trump.

Bumper sticker, team-first politics at its finest.  How exactly is a governor of Louisiana or any non-border state going to have anything to do with building the wall?  Why are you campaigning on that?

As a Houstonian and Texan, I support building a wall along the Texas / Louisiana border. 

We’re full. No more Cajuns.

Damn shame Edwin Edwards aint doing all that great, and is ineligible to runn until 2028, he may have won a 5th term as governor.

The fact Trump’s presence in my state is considered an asset for Republicans is really depressing.

Lake Charles? Is the rally at the Golden Nugget or L'Auberge? Surely it's not at that Isle of Capri dump.

Looks like it’s at the civic center which is usually used for monster truck rallies.

A Trump rally in Lake Charles.  Why, that's sure to be the functional equivalent of a gathering of Nobel laureates.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

Someone needs to ask that Doc Abraham what he is going to do about Trump's changes to medical care, because that is going to get ugly.

Probably not a coincidence. 

[Message Board User 12,389]

It would be a massive embarrassment for Trump and the GOP if no run-off.

 

[Voldemort86 2,259]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but if I was a democrat, and I heard about trump holding a rally in my town or area, it would motivate me even more to go and vote against whatever that idiot is rallying for.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,356]

The Republican alternatives to Edwards in this race are laughably awful.  

Even if it goes to a runoff, I’m confident Edwards would win convincingly.

Except for the hot slutty women. They can come over.

[Voldemort86 2,259]

how many Nuremberg rallies does trump do per week?
 

the guy has loads of energy because “executive time” or his day job, consists of him watching 9-10 hours of tv a day on multiple screens while he dog cusses people who dare criticize him or his work.
