Not that I read Politico, but this bullshite article popped up on my Google News feed this AM. Had to take a look at who they were talking about, because I didn't realize Mitch was "Cajun"

Some of these bullshite quotes are hilarious.

quote:

'I think he’s a remarkable talent … on the Bill Clinton, Barack Obama scale,’ says one admirer of New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.


quote:

Mitch Landrieu isn’t, for the moment, getting ready to run for president. But that’s not stopping the Democrat who led the rebuilding of New Orleans


quote:

He contrasted Trump’s record with his own experience leading a city devastated by Hurricane Katrina and wracked by years of mismanagement that’s now on the rise.

quote:


His admirers say Landrieu‘s background also gives him the advantage of being able to speak credibly to Trump voters.


quote:

“If he showed up somewhere, people would show up to hear what he has to say,” Carville said. “That’s a huge thing. Not everybody crosses that threshold from Day One.”




Dems please keep hyping this buffoon and let this happen. Trump 2020 would be in the bag.

There's no way Carville is so disconnected that he thinks a white man has a shot at the Dem nomination. I can't stand him, but stupid he ain't.

Mitch Landrieu is about as Cajun as the Robert E. Lee statue.

Didn't Politico also Proclaim that Rand Paul was the most interesting man in the Republican race for president? That worked out well.

I know he will get a lot of hate here, but I wouldn't be upset with this pick.

What's everyone's main issue with him?

I really hope these nitwits go all in on Landrieu. The fact that this idiot is even being considered shows how shallow the Dem bench is for 2020.

Landrieu's administration's incompetence literally allowed thousands in New Orleans to flood.

His primary opponents will drill him on that.

Then again, if he is the chosen one, neither CNN nor other candidates will ask him about it.

What part of his background....his sister who got voted out of office for pushing Obama's unpopular policies and hasn't been heard from since? His alleged mistress that worked for the city? His douchey "proud to be a fricking Landrieu" son? His successes in stoking racial tension? Or his achievements in fixing the cities crumbling drainage and streets infrastructure?

Half Moon would be running a campaign based on racism and statue removal. I wish he'd get the Dem nomination because Trump would destroy him in the debates.

Critical issues, 'failing' equipment continue to hinder New Orleans' drainage system, report finds

quote:

A team of consultants found that even after repairs on the Sewerage & Water Board’s drainage system were well underway late last year, problems continued to plague the system and to hinder the city's ability to push water out of low-lying areas.


quote:

The report found 170 critical problems with the drainage system at the end of November, including pumps that cannot move as much water as they are supposed to, clogged catch basins, drain lines and canals that slow the flow of water, and major deficiencies with nearly every electrical line tested.

Yes, because he continued the bullshite mismanagement. Citizens of New Orleans are pissed about this, and other problems that have been plaguing the city for years. I hope this past flood was enough to show the dumbasses just how bad their politicians are.
