PS. I do not know Mr. Fleming or am I involved with his campaign. Just a fan who can spot a winner and believes Cassidy and Letlow are certainly not.

I’ve had enough of former physicians that moved to north Louisiana from a different state in the senate if I’m honest.

How long has he been a politician? Because that's what moves me now. If you've been at the trough long enough, you've likely already been poisoned by the machine.

Do you even know?


" In 2008, when he first ran for Congress, he owned 30 franchised Subway sandwich shops in Shreveport and north Louisiana"

That means he didn't enter politics until he was 57 years older. So he had lived in the real world of the US Navy, as a business owner and practicing medicine. He has impressively varied life experiences, more than most people and CERTAILY MOST POLITICIANS.

Facts matter

I like him and he has been my first choice. My only concern is that I'm not sure we need another 75-80 year old representive in DC. Tired of the chamber looking like an assisted living center.

So he's been a politician for 18 years? Yeah frick that. That's too long. I was on Team Flemming only because he wasn't Cassidy. But now I'm on Letlow.

Stop supporting these dinosaurs. If Letlow gets in and goes for a third term I'll be out on her as well. And so should you.

He’s too old. He’s about 10 years too late.

I don't think that he has practiced in years. He owns a bunch of Subway franchises. That's been his gig for decades.

He finished 5th in 2016 when he ran for Senate and Kennedy won.

He’s a hardcore neocon

Because Trump is terrible at talent assessment and picking people. How many examples of this do we need?

We can support Trump and still acknowledge this glaring flaw.

And he will be what? 75 years old come election time?

I've kind of had enough of the old folks home in DC.

I’m with Fleming. He would do a great job in the Senate.
