re: Mary Landrieu Doubles Down on Stupid......

surprised at the brazen stupidity of this woman.

Yeah, I'm just not seeing it.

quote:

---

Landrieu vowed to campaign aggressively against GOP foe Bill Cassidy’s opposition to the Medicaid expansion in the state

---

Well, duh, I don't think anyone would expect different, and I don't really see this as stupid much less brazen.

quote:

---

“That would be a real setback for the people of Louisiana, many of whom are working 30, 40, 50 hours a week but find themselves caught in the Jindal gap because the state refuses to expand health care options to the working poor at little to no expense,” Landrieu told me, referring to Governor Bobby Jindal’s opposition to the expansion

Again, this isn't exactly news, nor do I see it as necessarily stupid.

And even with all the law’s setbacks, we’re seeing benefits for thousands of people in Louisiana.”

I really don't see what's rolling on the floor funny about this. I may disagree with her here, but I don't think this is stupid.

quote:

---

This race will be won not on the president’s record, but on my record

Okay...

quote:

---

The Affordable Care Act won’t be the centerpiece of my campaign

---

I bet not, THAT would be dumb. She should run on the offshore revenues she helped secure.

quote:

---

The centerpiece will be my leadership and ability to deliver for the people of my state, no matter who the president is.”

That just looks like boiler plate political rhetoric. Nothing dumb, new, or doubling down.

Do I support Landrieu? No. Will I vote for Landrieu? No. Do I agree with all she said that's posted here? No. But your OP really has nothing, and doesn't indicate anyone doubling down on anything. It looks more like Landrieu trying to distance herself from an unpopular president, and at the same time take advantage of an unpopular governor of the opposition party.

In short, TJ, I think you're trying too hard.
