Sentrius I upvoted you. I’m all in for Rispone but just ready to Geaux. Rispone may be a quiet Trump. Our last few governors have been as bad as it gets. Let’s see how would you rank them?

Blanco
Jindal
Edwards

What a 3 up 3 down batting order. No wonder we are where we find ourselves.

It's fine to call yourself like Trump but I just cannot see how campaigning like him would work.

There is and can only be one Donald Trump and trying mimic him is just not going to work and that's a lesson quite a few candidates across the country found out in the 2018 midterms.

Kris Kobach in Kansas being one of them.

Rispone has lots of resources and money with which to adjust his message in order to find that sweet spot where he calls down the echoes of Trump’s 2016 campaign without inviting people to ask why he isn’t as funny and engaging as Trump is.

Hopefully he can get it done.

1A.) Jindal = may have been a disappointment that abandoned Louisiana on the whims of money sucking consultants and naive dreams but he did get a few things right like not raising taxes on us, managing emergency preparedness whenever a big storm hit, did not attack oil and gas and the rest of the private sector, did a few things to keep Government small.

However, I do hold him personally responsible for dividing the Louisiana GOP with his stupid and pointless feud with Vitter when he should've swallowed his pride and did everything he could to make sure his successor was not a tax and spend liberal even if it's someone he personally hated.

Louisiana is supposed to come first, not your ego.

1B.) Blanco = She may have screwed up Katrina royally to a point where it cost thousands of lives and billions in property damage but I fully believe that genuinely cared about Louisiana and didn't try to attack the private sector and didn't play good ole boy politics.

She was just overwhelmed by the job of Governor.

3.) JBE = The political twin of Edwin Edwards that also idolizes Huey Long and sees government as the most important thing there is and does everything he can to grow it, doesn't believe in economic freedom, doesn't support citizens keeping as much of their own money as they can, sees the private sector especially oil and gas as a piggy bank that has money that should belong to the Statehouse and does not give one shite about out of control numbers of people leaving Louisiana.
