Lol frick off. JBE went from a 13 point win in 2015 to even in 2019. Trump played a big part in dragging this to even. Just like in Kentucky.
yeah... that was just wrong (the post you replied to... I'm agreeing with you
) Virginia is blue now thanks to NOVA
Kentucky GOP had an extremely unlikable candidate who turned off plenty of voters with some somewhat unpopular policies
tonight in LA was a tale of when you have a vulnerable incumbent... you REALLY need to rally around 1 guy early and ride him... and for the love of all that is holy... do not have said candidate piss off part of your own base by attacking another popular candidate in your party
the LAGOP not rallying around either Abraham or Rispone in the primary and letting things go wild was a huge error
quite frankly... the state GOP should probably look at some new leadership after this debacle

JBE was very very beatable. GOP and voters shite the bed.

Or introduce legislation to move Louisiana's election system to the Georgia model.
A non-partisan blanket jungle primary and a runoff a month later sounds good in theory but it has been more trouble than it's worth and tonight and 2015 was the end result of that.
Jamming a party primary inside of a general election has never made sense to me.

That implies there was ever leadership.
Newsflash, there isn't.

JBE - 625,970 (gained 148,499 votes in runoff)
Rispone & Abraham combined - 685,468 (Rispone got the combined total of him & Abraham and gained 48,660 more votes in runoff)

The whole point of the jungle primary is to help Democrats win. It has the same effect in California often, only the reverse, helping Republicans win in solidly blue territory. Will our legislators ever grow the balls to get rid of it? Doubtful.

Damn. I fricking love Louisiana. I can’t believe this happened.

JBE was the incumbent. It was unlikely he'd be unseated. I thought he'd win.

This race was considered a toss up by non-partisan outfits.
JBE was as much likely to lose as Rispone was likely to win. Could've gone either way depending on the mood on of just tens of thousands of voters.
But Rispone ran a very mediocre to shitty campaign in the runoff and he just could not close and seal the deal on JBE and it cost him. He was way too hands off and played prevent defense with a tie game in the 4th quarter.
The biggest warning sign during the runoff was when Rispone did not have Ralph Abraham doing ads for him, stumping for him, and being on stage with Trump together.

I can’t stand the Rs that are voting for Ardoin but not Rispone
Do they always hold until the end to see how many votes they need? Are they careful it is not 114% in NOLA?
How can a state vote for job loss and higher taxes?

^ Dude is a perfect example of the average Trump voter. Too dumb/naive/obsessed to blame his own lot in life and other outcomes on the obvious. Instead it has to be voter fraud/illegal aliens/liberals/martians.
Trump-tards blind to the fact that Democrats are winning races in Republican strongholds because of Trump. Maybe if the ultra-conservative wanted a shot at winning they shouldn't have pushed some dim-witted Trump-clone on us.

If Trump didn't campaign for Rispone, JBE would've won by 10-12 points.
Trump can only do so much and it's up to the candidate to make the case to the voters why they should hire him and Rispone failed to do that, especially when he alienated enough Abraham supporters by going negative against Ralph Abraham.

Incumbents are difficult to remove and you are going to be in the reverse situation next year when Trump beats whatever socialist loon democrats nominate.

Maybe your problem is you lack objectivity. Which is hardly shocking for 99% of the posters on this sub-forum.

Establishment democrats are the ones that are being objective here, digging up retreads like Mike Bloomberg, Deval Patrick and so on and putting them in the primary while their flavor of the month frontrunner is either too low energy, too gay or too much a of shill woman.
That's not a sign of confidence they're going to beat Trump.
