Jeez, how did Abraham lose to that guy?

Abraham understood that politics is a relationship business in Louisiana and that was why he was able to secure a lot of endorsements.

Rispne's campaign told louisiana politicos to frick off did no such outreach and thought Trump sycophancy was enough to get him into the runoff until it became painfully obvious that was not happening and he was going to have to go below the belt on Abraham to get that spot.

And then there's also the fact that Rispone did not have Ralph Abraham out there stumping for him in TV ads, on the campaign trail and getting photo ops together with Rispone on the stage with the President.

From what I've heard, Abraham's price for that was to help him raise money to retire his campaign debt and Rispone refused to do that and the rest is history.

Edwards won as many as 15% of Abraham voters in the runoff.

Don't piss off voters you will need later.
