So Rispone who put up millions to run was suppose to buy Abraham’s debt or else?

Oh and I almost missed this.

Sorry Abraham, you pay it off yourself. You had no business in the race. You didn’t have enough money for one primary.

I understand how you feel....

But....

Sore winner attitudes like this is not going to win elections.

To win elections you have to build a team that can build coalitions that can deliver the votes needed to win elections and sometimes you will have to pay money or give special favors to do that no matter how big your pride is and how you feel you're entitled to it as a primary winner.

For comparison's sake, Jay Dardenne's price for his endorsement in 2015 was a comfy job in the administration along with a fat paycheck and that was a price JBE was more than willing to pay and paid. Vitter wasn't and the rest is history.

Rispone should've done what was needed to bring Abraham completely on board and the fact that he didn't do that is a point of political stupidity and why he was a bad candidate.

Rispone's strategy is the one that had no business being in this race.
