Who cares? Photo op means more media attention to the disaster.

The media will key on something Trump says that the media deems offensive.

Nationally, the media has already moved on to the Blue Cut fire in Santa Barbara.

And the Olympic swimmers who claimed they were robbed.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing for the Governor to say. What's so bad about it?


What's he gonna say about Hillary's visit?

prettu sure the topic of discussion was JBE's response to this flood. I think he's handled it exceptionally. This wasn't a hurricane where everyone could plan for it, it literally happened overnight. He's done a great job.

She's too busy napping to visit. Like most democrats she doesn't care about Louisiana. In her defense she probably wouldn't even know if she was in Louisiana.

What exactly has he done that was exceptional? He has not fricked up like blanco, but I have not seen or heard of anything exceptional?

Even if it is only a photo op, it still brings awareness and more donations and assistance. Trump doesn't need to do this, LA will go Red like the rest of the South and he will get its electoral votes whether he goes or not. And after he does go he will talk about it over and over to anyone with a microphone and a camera, again, bringing more national attention.... something a lot of posters have commented on there not being enough of.


This. Edwards needs to shut up and let this guy bring more exposure to this disaster. Big donors will throw some big cash if trump asks them.

It is a photo op for Trump. It is a chance to get publicity, therefore cash, for the flood victims.

His presence should be welcomed by anyone who was affected or knows anyone who was. To publicly admonish him for coming, then try to shake him down is a stupid move.

Hillary should be welcomed too, as well as any A,B,C, or D list celebrities that show up to raise awareness.

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.


Yours is a political statement. You aren't thinking big picture. I don't like Trump, but the more attention we get, the better. If you think he shouldn't come you don't get it.

Hell, I despise Hillary, but if she came, it would be the same thing... She would bring attention to a bad situation.

Put your political feelings aside.

That was 20 years ago and I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said.

Hey DONALD, here is your chance to make a splash with your visit. Challenge John Bel that you will make a $ 1 million personal donation if John Bel will match it with his personal funds! BAZINGA!

Next John Bel should invite the BAM to a round of golf at the Country Club of Louisiana and he could see for himself the flooding around Manchac Bayou on the back nine! BAZINGA!

I know this is flood related, but really 6 pages later, it's mostly Poli Board?

Am I doing this right?

Is Hildawg making an appearance or helping out in any way?

Will she be donating any of the money she has stolen and extorted from the American people?

Did I miss where any Democrats had come down? How much money did Obama donate? He is an millionaire after all.


How much has CGI or the Clinton Foundation donated? Aren't they supposed to be a philanthropic organization?


How much has Bill and Hillary personally donated? They made $125M last year, surely they can afford a few duckets to people in need.



How much exposure have they brought to the problem?

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.






Man your hackery has no limits. Jindal got airsick the one time he tried to go up and look at storm damage, sent an aide after that.

Look I know its tough for republicants to admit we have the right man at the right time for the job in LA right now but just sit back and enjoy a good governor, god knows its a rarity in a dumb, red state.

Trump will give money but it won't be publicly. That's not how he does things.
