15 minutes with Trump will save you 15% on your car insurance... but you may also get an STD.

So if the Rs lose Louisiana, how will Trump react? Will he blame it on those dipshit Rs that were running, and claim that if his preferred candidate was running, they would have won?

His base has latched onto this phrase with relish. The rapidity with which it took hold and has spread is frightening because like the Leopards Eating People's Faces tag, no one from his base stops to consider that he is attacking a private citizen over and over again. Substitute, 'Where is the Jew? The Mexican? The Muslim?" and they would be just as fervent.

I think JBE wins in the end. He might not win outright today, but the repubs don’t have a strong candidate running against him.

[Patrick Bateman 3903]

Live results should flow here.  I think NPR has a live link too.

so aside from a shitty little airport, and a pretty decent PoBoy place that has collapsing ceiling tiles and a couple of video poker games in a little plywood box, Lake Charles has Donald Fucking Trump.    

What a paradise.

Well, in at least one way, Rispone > JBE

Rurals getting redder, suburbs getting bluer in yet another election.

Louisiana GOP may also enjoy a supermajority in the state lege after tonight's vote so even if JBE wins the run-off it may not matter much.

I hate this fat fuck, but the results from Louisiana look bad tonight. Repubs getting supermajorities and forcing a run off in the governor race. It really sucks how much control trump has over the Republican base. Those people are brainwashed like no other.

Louisiana has been ass backwards for a long time.  I’m surprised we even have a Democratic Governor after Blanco.

Imagine the cities of Longview, Vidor, and Brenham combined - that's basically the entirety of Louisiana north of I-10.

Brenham has employment opportunities other than the "Walmarts".

Yeah, I could have probably just said that Vidor is Louisiana north of I-10.  

[Js1 85104]

So the “experts” said 48/49% would mean JBE wins a run off and 45/46% means he loses so ~47% means.....gird your loins. 

[Bama Chick 28596]

I know he’s not running for Governor but by god Louisiana, if y’all don’t vote for this man -

Rispone is tiny as fuck. He looks photoshopped in that chair. @Message Board User @Hugo Stiglitz do you guys think Edwards is safe here?

Trump already made one recent visit to Louisiana ahead of the November 16 runoff election for governor, and The Advocate reported that the president plans to return again in the hopes of flipping the race back to Rispone. A spokesperson for Trump said that the president plans to hold a rally in northeastern Louisiana next week, marking the first time that region of the state has seen a presidential visit since Ronald Reagan in 1983.

 

The rally comes as a series of polls this week showed Edwards on top in the back-and-forth race. A poll from Edgewater Research showed that Edwards led the race by a margin of 50.3 percent to 46.6 percent for Rispone. Another from JMC Analytics showed Edwards ahead but by a smaller margin, 48 percent to 46 percent.

This race is uncomfortably close, my state is so fucking stupid.  I need to go vote again.

Yeah the powers that be should just give everything north of I-10 to Arkansas and Mississippi.

Why would your state vote out a governor whose taken a massive deficit and turned it into a nice surplus?
 

oklahoma and Louisiana make some weird choices when it comes to their politics.

The Trump/Fox News effect is very real in Louisiana.  We have too many ignorant racists with money and influence that would vote for a Russian over a democrat.

The guy JBE beat in the last governor’s race now lobbies on behalf of Oleg Deripaska’s business interests and I’m pretty sure Vitter’s wife was just appointed to a lifetime position in the courts by Trump.  

Sucks too because Louisiana could be so much better.

Fuck that place.  I left after HS graduation and never looked back.  Other than the cuisine, there is nothing of value there and fortunately there are enough coonasses living in exile to get around that problem.

Louisiana loves them some trump.  Trump tells them to vote rispone, I think they do.

[Js1 85104]

Medicaid expansion had a 76% approval in Louisiana.  All JBE has to do is show ads of Rispone saying he is going to freeze the expansion, which would kick out hundreds of thousands within a couple years. 

HEALTHCARE. HEALTHCARE. HEALTHCARE.  #1 issue.  Fucking keep harping on it.  

Healthcare wins.
