I think JBE has done an exceptional job. What exactly are y'all expecting of him? Bobby would've shite the bed for sure.

Not sure what u are talking about. People can criticize Jindal for a lot of things but not about coordinating things during a national disaster. I haven't seen anybody better than him at it.

JBE needs to realize that politically, he really doesn't have a leg to stand on regarding the Republican nominee visiting.

Obama is golfing and refuses to leave Martha's Vineyard, and Shrillary decided she needs to nap this weekend.

Even IF the only reason Trump is coming is for a photo op, isn't the publicity worth more than what our current POTUS and Democratic nominee are doing right now?

JBE needs to play the role of Chris Christie after Sandy when Obama visited NJ -- he was welcoming, and touched Obama went. Some things transcend party lines. Unfortunately, many people can't see that.

Do you feel the same way when Hillary comes down for nothing but a photo op? Where is Obama surveying all the destruction? Oh yea, golfing at a white resort.

Like JBE said, if he's going to lay down 500 k - 1 mill cash, then come on down.


Do you really think he's going to have the same attitude with Hillary?

JBE is right, as usual.


Yea

Jindal was the GOAT at managing crisises in this state and Louisiana never saw anything get out of hand under his watch. Jindal is a guy you want as Governor in
situations like this flood.

JBE is just not fricking up but he's not "exceptional".

quote:

I think JBE has done an exceptional job.




He's attacking school choice and being a shill for failed schools.

He's expanded Medicaid which this broke as frick state cannot afford at all once the Feds stop paying.

He threatened LSU football to get tax increases.

He's raised taxes a shite ton and it's making the recession even worse and putting the economy in stagnation and driving producers out of state. You can't tax your way out of a recession, you have to grow the economy. We're one of the most heavily taxed states and we have nothing to show for it.

And that's just in less than a year. We still have three years to go.

quote:

Bobby would've shite the bed for sure.


Bobby shite the bed because he was a lip service only Governor that was trying to run out the clock for a bullshite presidential run that was dead in the water before it even started.

Jindal was a failure as Governor because of what he didn't do, not what he did.

What planet do you live on? Say what you want about Jindal and his policies, but he was on the ball with disasters.

When Trump comes, at least the media will follow. They haven't been here at all up to this point.

Hope he says the same for Hilary's visit next week

Sounds like there may be security problems.

During a declared federal disaster, Trump is not coordinating with State officials!

Obviously Trump is showing up for a photo op.

Who cares? Photo op means more media attention to the disaster. More attention means more help and assistance.

Imagine the media attention if the presidents lazy arse actually came down here.

I guarantee he donates money.

People don't get it. This situation needs attention nationally. Trump will bring that. I've seen dumb asses defending the President's decision to remain on vacation and not come here. Leaders lead. End of story. He should have come, if for no other reason than to bring attention to the situation. Attention equals increased Federal response and increased monetary donations from across the country.

What a fricking moron you are. A billionaire presidential candidate want to come and jackass idiots like u and JBE use it for a sound bite opportunity.

WTF has Hillary or Odumbfuk done?

And that would be fantastic. shite he can just tweet out a photo telling people to donate and that would be huge for national exposure of the issues going on. Coming down here and grandstanding and taking pictures and turning it into some political bullshite (which you know he'll do) does absolutely nothing besides help his campaign. All it does is create a cluster frick in an already cluster-fricked area. And the same goes for Hillary, Obama or any other politician, so you can save that bullshite rebuttal.

When I read the title I thought "Governor Edwards?":



PS: What are the odds of getting two unrelated but both shitty Governor Edwardses in just half a century?

Pretty low but Louisiana has managed to do it.

You're not wrong here, except for the part that there's no "if" about it.

I have no problem at all with Trump going down - anything to bring more attention to the situation is a good thing. But the posters on here saying he cares about average citizens and is coming down to do good and not to try and get a bump in the polls are kidding themselves. And when Hillary comes down, it'll be for the exact same reason.
