Dude..... Rispone will not beat Ralph Abraham.... Even though he has out spent him 5 to 1... Ain't gonna happen...

I agree with most of what you said. Jindal was re-elected with >65% of the vote and very little challenge because he was doing a good job his first term. The "looking for a better job" combined with the crap turn in the economy is what demolished his legacy. One of those is not really on him (the economy) however if he were more engaged he could have maybe lessened the blow. The other however falls squarely on his shoulders.

Had Jindal been a one term Governor and not sought re-election, he would have gone down as a good-great Governor or at the bare minimum forgotten about. Not the disaster he is known for.

All that being said, Rispone was in a lose-lose situation. (Much like most conservatives in the state would be with a Jindal topic, remember 65% of the voters voted for him in a state that is 43% democrat voters)

- He defends Jindal and explains that, most people wouldn't understand anything and label him as the next Jindal.

- He goes after Jindal and critizes him, he looks like a person that can't own his choices, and places the blame (no different than JBE)

- Or he goes against his morals and lies that he never supported him or any of his ideals. That they were all bad, blah blah blah.

The truth is Jindal's ideas were not all bad and some are still having positive effect to this day. His execution was terrible his second term and has now made everything "Jindal" radioactive.

You give too much credit to the voters in this state. There are alot more undecided voters plus the ones who have their candidate, but will change on a whim, than "some petty individuals" . A huge chunk are driven by personality, hyperbole, plus the peer pressure of his baw neighbor than the polls would indicate, even to their own detriment.

BUT if the conservatives come out in full force you could end up with Abraham vs Rispone in a run off.

Not even close to happening. There is simply no where near enough conservatives in this state for this to happen.

Sorry Ralph the gig is up. You had your chance and you blew it. I was going to vote for you - cuck.

Don't confuse Conservative with Republican. We have old conservative democrats in our state and conservative independents.

There are 3,000,000 registered voters in LA.
1,114,000 voted in the 2015 primary.
1,153,000 voted in the 2015 runoff.
2,029,000 voted in the 2016 presidential election.
1,178,000 voted for Trump in the 2016 election.

I know that the first hypothetical I said was very unlikely. But there is the chance. I was just using it as an example of why voter turnout will be and always has been the biggest decider of this race.

Voter turn out in 2015 was the second lowest it has been since Edwin Edwards first election in 1971! Only one lower was Jindal's re-election in 2011. Voter turnout plays the biggest part in this election.

2015) 1,152,864
2011) 1,023,163
2007) 1,297,943
2003) 1,362,524
1999) 1,295,204
1995) 1,550,360
1991) 1,549,255
1987) 1,558,730
1983) 1,609,352
1979) 1,365,880
1975) 1,203,004
1971) 1,174,043

Asked each candidate if they would rollback the Medicaid expansion. Rispone and Abraham BOTH said NO! Rispone wants to be CEO of the $30 billion state budget. Bobby Jindal Part II!!!! Abraham hit him hard on saying he's an outsider. Rispone has been THE SECRET MONEY MAN behind most of state-wide republican candidates and Congressional candidates for years. Donating millions to their campaign coffers.

And, because of that who should we vote for?

that dwarf rat faced coonass

Rispone is Italian not Cajun. I think we'd prefer you stick with that and not vote

Rispone is a typical sawed off, little man syndrome having dumbfrick coonass. Only thing I would vote for him for would be to play Fievel the mouse in the next American tail movie.

turnout will decide everything.

Holy crap we agree on something!

I may have been mistaken. I thought you were part of the group blaming Rispone in the event that there is no runoff or JBE wins because he was turning off Abraham voters that would now be voting for JBE instead of Rispone.

There is a group on here that are already making excuses for if / when Abraham loses and none of those excuses put the blame on Abraham.
