I mean seriously, is this the best Louisiana can trot out to run the state. This dude is far from my definition of professional.
Aren't you one of the biggest Trumpkins ever?
A fan of the most unprofessional president ever?
Good god, I always get a kick out of Trumpkins knocking others for lack of professionalism and complete craziness and then cheerlead and fangirl over Donald Trump's latest antics.

What about your tax dollars going to government schools that hardly teach anything? How much money do you want going to the St. Helena Parish school district that is the worst in the state and the state is ranked 49th in the country?
Zero.
But I'm not willing to completely upend education in this state, unless it's going to be an improvement.

Customer's expectations... you mean the same "customers" that raise shithead kids in single mom families to become criminals?
You have to admit that 2/3rds of our adult population isn't qualified to make a decision on the best place for their child to attend school.

Yes, that’s right. Edwards or Abraham have to energize conservatives and demonstrate why they are better than JBE. There’s no doubt about that.

He's already made his case in the last election. It's baked in. Else, Gov Honor Code wouldnt be a thing.

That's the point I've been getting at you to agree with. They're running out of time for the name recognition side of the equation and thus far I'm not sure I can speak to what their positive cases actually are.
The advantage in being republicans is they still can do it, where a Dem in this position would be toast. Just best not wait much longer to make the case.

You should be.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again.
What does Louisiana really have to lose when nothing else has really worked in the last several decades and the state is still bottom 5 in positive education stats?

I just read an article on BR Business talking about how EARLY the campaign ads for Governor are, In 2015 they didn’t start running until early September.
The big push for early campaigning this year is because this election falls on the same day as LSU's Homecoming. Candidates are hoping to get as many early voters as possible so that game day plans don't interfere with voter turnout.

You only copied half my sentence.

Allowing our uneducated, ignorant, inner-city "parents" to school choose with no accountability for said schools, would be a worse outcome, in my opinion, than what we have now.
Granted, that's the only situation I can think of that would be worse.

There has not been one single poll that shows JBE has the necessary 50.1% to win outright in the first round. Not a single one.
For the runoff, JBE will not be running against Vitter who was a wounded animal after a bloody fight against two republicans and had the shadow of Jindal in the background.
JBE will be facing against a GOP candidate that has the support of the entire GOP apparatus behind him, no personal background issues and and will have Donald Trump coming to town to do some MAGA rallies for him and hammer JBE and JBE will be forced to run on his record.

We literally have nothing to lose and nothing else has worked and your idea is to double down on insanity.
It's time for something different. And like really different. Not just lipstick on a pig.

I think I see your problem. You automatically assume the inner cities are the only areas breeding uneducated and ignorant kids. Here is a h/t for you it is across the state from rural to suburban to inner city. The entire educational system in the state of Louisiana is fricked which is why people are forced to spend 10k to $25k to send a kid to elementary school now.

And part of that reason to spend money is to make sure your kid stays away from the crap kids, right?
So when vouchers cause everyone to be mixed up again, how's that gonna work?

I totally agree, but after the 2016 election, do you seriously still put your faith in polls?. Personally I'm not displeased with either Republican (Rispone or Doc). I'm voting for Rispone because he publically and financially backs St. George, but whoever the Republican candidate is after the October election will get my full support.

Trump may be the chemotherapy we need to burn out the insane political correctness that's killing American culture but there's no denying his behavior is the most unprofessional to ever come from an American President.
Even Trump admits he's not professional and has often mocked being professional at his rallies.

Like I've said earlier, it's such a breath of fresh air after watching two RINOs gore the hell out of a legit conservative in David Vitter and soften him up for a tax and spend liberal to beat him.
And look at them now with one of them working for JBE after he bought his endorsement like a total whore and the other losing a congressional race to a YouTube sensation.

It's like a choice of Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. You really can't go wrong with either one.

"Professional" is just such a nebulous term to me. I guess if it means, acting exactly like people are conditioned to see a president act, it makes sense here. However, in my mind, not doing so does not necessarily mean "unprofessional.".
A big part of me feels there is nothing really more "professional" than someone actually recognizing the real need we had to have one do that and to do it. The status quo had become pretty damn unprofessional.

Yes that is why I send my kids to private school plus it provides them with networking advantages you can't find in public schools anymore. I'm against Vouchers being used to send any kid to private school.
I'm in favor of reestablishing neighborhood schools. Stop the bussing in of kids from 15 miles away in order to fix the skin color demographics at the expense of education.
There will always be winners and losers in society but the disparity should not be so significant as it is in Louisiana under the current system.
The world needs criminals to keep the defense system operating, opiod addicts to keep the private rehab facilities in business, and ditch diggers to keep our DOTD change order business fully functioning. Louisiana just doesn't need so many of these people in our midst. Send some of them to Vermont and New Hampshire!
