Is this accurate did both R's support Trump?
quote:
Trump's message to voters in Lake Charles will be less precise than traditional get-out-the-vote events. He'll seek to unite a squabbling Republican Party against the Deep South's only Democratic governor, trying to keep Edwards from a primary win, while not telling voters which GOP contender to back in Saturday's election.
"I will be in Louisiana tonight (Love it!) to get Republicans to vote for either of our two great Republican Candidates and force a run off with John Bel Edwards," Trump said in one of several tweets about the Louisiana governor's race.
Republican loyalties are split among two major candidates: Ralph Abraham, a third-term congressman and physician from rural northeast Louisiana, and Eddie Rispone, a businessman and longtime political donor from Baton Rouge who is making his first bid for office."
Both Abraham and Rispone planned to attend the rally. Both claim long-term support from Trump, even as they quarrel over who backs the president more.
"The president deeply cares about Louisiana. Louisiana loves President Trump. It is a match that is literally made in heaven," Abraham said.
The president is not endorsing either candidate to maximize chances that Edwards will fall below the 50% vote threshold needed to avoid a runoff, according to a White House aide and a campaign aide, both of whom asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss strategy. Trump plans to endorse whichever GOP candidate makes it to a runoff against Edwards, the aides said.
In Louisiana, all candidates run against each other, regardless of party, on the same primary ballot. With polls showing Edwards well in the lead, national Republicans have bombarded the state with millions in advertising and visits from Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Donald Trump Jr. to urge anti-Edwards votes and force a Nov. 16 runoff.
"Trump is going to energize the base, the people, the conservatives, make them recognize that we need to do something different," Rispone said.

It's funny because Abraham def suggested Trump to step aside and let Pence be VP after Billy Bush Saturday. Billy Bush Saturday was the ultimate litmus test.

Will Hard Rock NOLA affect turnout in Orleans Parish?

50 or so people were on site, so perhaps if they were planning on voting this evening after knocking off for the day?
Maybe some other workers and engineer types are having to work unexpectedly today.
Most everyone else out there, first responders, etc, you figure were already working today so they had this already handled.
Shouldn't affect any voting sites.

IMHO, JBE wins outright.
La. is quite Democrat, when it comes to local politics. I don't see how this Dem incumbent can be unseated.
Naw.... There ain't as my baby killing lovers and gun hating frickers as you think.

quote:Then all should vote for Rispone. But then again I don't get your primaries having run off's and all that jazz. The article makes it like splitting the vote with the two R's is good to force a run off?

Is Rispone still involved in any way with ISC? Or is he retired and the company is in the the rest of his family hands now?
If not, and he wins, would that possibly become a conflict of interest since his company works for all the oil/chem plants in the state?

You are wrong, I believe.
All “real” polls point to JBE peaking at 48 two weeks ago. He was down to 45 this week.
Talked to an analytics guy who said it could be as low as 42-44 JBE.
If that’s the case, JBE should submit a resignation tomorrow as he’ll get killed in the runoff.
An aside, TRUMP didn’t come to Louisiana for his side to lose.
