re: We'd be a better state if Eddie Rispone would've won

Perhaps, but Republicans need to put out better candidates. Rispone was a joke.

If the Louisiana Republican Party can't win the top spot in an overwhelmingly Republican state, they need an overhaul, new leadership, or something. It's like they sponsored a contest to field the world's worst candidates.

Maybe Kennedy will run? He can actually field questions and respond intelligently, even if he has to throw in folksy idioms to drive Progressives crazy (I love that by the way).

It wasn't that Rispone was folksy, it was that he couldnt answer a single question other than repeating one or two rehearsed lines over and over.

Would I rather him than Billy Boucher's daddy, Governor Smack smack? shite yeah, but he was still an awful candidate and apparently the best the La Republican Party could do in 2019. Do better.
