As part of a campaign I’m working for, I’ve been monitoring daily early voting in the parish. Republicans are absolutely cooked in this parish. Dem turn out as far out pacing early voting for Republicans.

And yes, I’m fully aware Republicans like to vote on Election Day like some ritual in losing, but if these numbers don’t turn around, we’re gonna have a the social justice DA and any number of crappy judicial candidates.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Republican Party Executive Committee for the parish is actively taking advertising money from Democrats and endorsing them in his three newspapers, like a white Gary Chambers.

EDIT: every down vote is a republican who didn’t go vote because they didn’t think they would win and now we’re gonna have Senator Jaime Davis, DA Eric Thompson, and take your pick of whatever judicial moron wins on the Dem side. Congrats you played yourself!

I mean EBR is a Liberal Parish. Of course Dems are going to beat Republicans there.

Have you paid a scintilla of attention to the last few gubernatorial and presidential races?

I'll be shocked if it's closer than 56/44 party-wise.

Just because you can’t win every parish wide seat doesn’t mean that you concede every down ballot seat to Democrats. There are plenty of Republican, majority districts with judges races and justice of the peace races that are extremely consequential for this parish right now.

To want some kind of Republican firewall against what’s coming to this parish in the future? Should we just let all the Metro Council members be Democrats as well?

The defeatist attitude around here is nauseating.

I’m not talking about parish wide races, there are winnable Republican races in this parish that people are ignoring.

There is a large percentage of moderate Republicans who might as well be Democrats, people will get the government they deserve

I understand that, but voting isn’t marriage, you aren’t committing to this candidate for life. Voting is like riding the subway you get as far as you can, and then you walk the rest of the way.

I read it like a warning of apocalyptic doom for Republicans nationwide. Re-reading it I see you didn't do that, but I'm trained by all the 3x Trump voters.

Voted last week at the archives. It didn’t pass the eye test.

From the looks of things, it looks like I was the only Republican in the entire establishment.

I tried to vote early two times on Saturday in Baton Rouge. The parking lots were full, cars down the street, line was out the door and around the entire building. Gary Chambers has his crowd turnt up!

He has and he is working to erode Republican races like the district 6 JOP race.

Yes, it’s pretty bad. And you can see from all the down votes and responses that people have essentially just given up trying to win what’s winnable.

Now there’s a response with at least a reason, thank you.
