Watch out, kingbob. If you make LSURUSSIAN mad enough he’ll dox and stalk you like he did to our friend WikiTiger.

Do you honestly believe she would have ZERO input on policy from that position?
It doesn't mean she sets policy, which is what your original post about "Broome vs. Wicker" implied.
You're really reaching here. Why?

Frankly I believe Broome will win the runoff no matter who her opponent is. That's not what I want to happen but it's just a mathematical certainty, imo.

Bruh, didn’t you dox me years ago? 
I didn’t exactly make it difficult. I pretty much dox myself all the time. I expect no true anonymity on this forum, especially since I live around BR.

Now you're lying, too. As usual.
WikiTiger used his real first name and his middle and last name initials as his first TD screen name.
He used to post some LSU baseball photographs on Wikipedia which he published under his real name back then and which he linked to in some posts on the Rant. That's how he came up with his new screen name of "WikiTiger."
Anybody who was posting on TD back then knows that.
That's all I know about him. No doxxing or stalking.
Tell us again how you guaranteed Rispone was going to defeat Edwards...

RIP WikiTiger you won’t be forgotten no matter how many times LSURUSSIAN tramples on your grave.

I wouldn’t be so sure about a “mathematical certainty”. Bodi was an awful candidate and lost by 4000 votes. Broome has lost support with the blacks in br since then. Broome has lost massive amounts of support from the business class in town. Broome has energized southeast baton rouge over the St. George shenanigans to show up and vote her out. Broome’s support has only shrunk, not grown from 4 years ago because she has proven that every part of her platform 4 years ago was a complete lie or a complete failure. She ain’t fooling anybody anymore. If Wicker was in the race, she wouldn’t even be on pace to make the runoff.
I think the only thing that can help her is if there’s a runoff election for Senate. That will at least help boost black turnout to vote for a black democrat candidate for senate. If Cassidy wins in the primary, I think there’s a very good chance that any one of these GOP candidates could flip at least 4000 votes to beat Wicker in the runoff.
I don’t know if a republican will win, but to say they don’t have a chance is highly disingenuous. This will likely be a close race to the finish, even more so than in 2016.

Hmm, that's pretty cool actually. My biggest issue with Carter is that he is low energy (recently not over his whole political career). Still going with Watson, but that's not a bad move.
Of course I am a Wicker fan.

Bingo. You’ve been reading my posts baw. I’ve been saying for months in every mayor thread a huge problem Broome has is the lack of US Senate runoff in December like she had in 2016. Cassidy will win in November and even though the 2016 US Senate runoff was a blowout it still drove black turnout in Baton Rouge higher than if there wasn’t a US Senate election. Bodi White was horrible but he still only lost by 4,000 votes. Matt Watson can win some of the independent voters who were turned off by old out of town Bodi White and he doesn’t have to flip many of them to win the election. And he won’t struggle with support in the areas where Bodi White did well.
Another huge factor is who wins the Presidential election. If Trump wins it will demoralize Democrats in EBR and subdue turnout in December because they’ll have a depression hangover from November.

Like I said, Wicker is not a bad candidate at all. She’s not a conservative republican, but we could do far worse. She would be a pretty representative candidate for br as a whole. Carter and Wicker are both moderates. I would have no trouble voting for Carter in a runoff against Broome or Marcelle. I just wish he’d get his head out of his arse about the unconstitutional mask mandates.

Broome has lost support with the blacks in br since then.

Broome has lost massive amounts of support from the business class in town.

There's no way Watson wins in a runoff with BroomeHilda. His personal baggage will be front page news if he gets into a runoff.
Carter might have a chance just based on his business support, name recognition and LSU connections. Which is another reason I'm voting for him.

No, but it might be enough for them to not show up.
I mean you called Broome’s victory in the primary “a mathematical certainty”. Your words, not mine
If Trump can win with all of his “personal baggage” do you really think most voters GAF about that anymore? I think Watson’s weakness is fundraising ability. The doners want Piazza or Carter. Would they throw their weight behind Watson in a runoff? I don’t know.
What is your understanding of the rumors about Watson?
I know about the cocaine usage one, the unpaid debts, and the seeming lack of any clients for his “consulting” business or any real source of income. I know he has moved a lot since his divorce and doesn’t own a home. I know his ex supports Broome.

Bob, I was on board fir Watson but I haven’t seen the necessary fire and leadership skills from him that we need to fix the mess in EBR. He hadn’t been able to beat the bushes and raise money. He hasn’t gone out and made a real case for himself. What am I missing?

And whether it's unconstitutional....meh.
Government imposes safety restrictions and requirements all the time (seat belts, wear safety equipment in certain occupations & circumstances, speed limits, stop signs) and I don't see those restrictions getting declared unconstitutional by courts.
