Admittedly I’ve been supporting Flemming but after listening to Letlow the more I learn this less I like . This debate was eye opening . Her previous support of DEI initiatives and voting record score is abysmal.

She seems very dishonest and desperate.

Moon Griffon hosted a debate between them today on the radio. Cassidy did not participate. I have not heard any of it yet but I've already made up my mind to vote for Fleming. Letlow is lazy and cannot be trusted to actually stand up against the GOPe.

The little of it I listened to basically had her repeating the fact that DJT endorsed her, not much else.

Letlow is MAGA is the GOPe. Trump has been the establishment since 2016. Old school conservatives are the boogeyman that doesn't exist anymore.

That being said, I'm voting for Fleming hands down.

I listened to a podcast interview and all she talked about was how she was prepared for the job because she learned so much from her now deceased husband. Fleming gets my vote.

Fleming spelled out exactly what happened . Landry people ran interference and assisted in blocking fleming getting the endorsement.

Fleming also pointed out Letlow only got in race once the “ok”was given she would get trumps endorsement .

Can we stop electing/making famous people just because they are a widow and their late spouse accomplished things?

You're spot on with that notion. It seems Letlow is leaning on the deceased husband spiel to bait voters. I believe Fleming when he says that Trump would've endorsed him if he had went to him sooner.
I will be voting for Fleming and have persuaded 20 to 30 family members to do the same. VOTE FLEMING, FOLKS!

I don’t understand how any conservative could listen to this debate and choose Cassidy or Letlow over Fleming.

Julie Letlow is a yes girl and an order taker. She was appointed to congress for 2 reasons. She had small children and her elected husband died after being elected. She also served a purpose of doing what she is told by her donors. She gets her congressional retirement now after she is out. she says yes to everything she is told to say yes to.

I am not sure she even likes what she is doing. She gets off a plane in Monroe likes she is a film star trying not to be noticed.

So what do you like about Fleming? Voting against border wall? We need more illegal aliens and need to bus them across the border?

Letlow has a small sample size because of how she got into politics. Her husband won the seat but died of Covid before he took office. She ran in the special election and won with Trump's endorsement. She is not a polished speaker on interviews I have seen and hence the comments on sticking to the talking points. Brett Bair interviewed her last week and same result.

As for record, Wiki has the following:

quote:

In the 118th Congress, Letlow introduced the Parents Bill of Rights Act (H.R. 5). The House passed the bill on March 24, 2023, by a vote of 213–208.


quote:

Letlow authored a Parent's Bill of Rights that passed the U.S. House in March 2023. The measure was introduced as H.R. 5 in the 118th Congress and passed the House on March 24, 2023.[36][37] The bill would give parents more oversight over what is taught in public schools. It would require school districts to make curricula public, provide parents with information on available library materials, allow parents to address school boards, require public disclosure of school budgets, and require parental consent prior to any physical or mental medical exams taking place at school.[


quote:

Infrastructure
In July 2021, Letlow told KNOE-TV that there was "Nothing like a pandemic to bring to light how vital rural broadband is to our district", and said that rural broadband can provide better access to quality healthcare and education. Of the infrastructure plan proposed by Joe Biden, Letlow said, "You know, it's the political football...I really want to make sure that that infrastructure bill addresses true infrastructure needs. Roads, bridges, ports, rural broadband. Cut the other part out.


quote:

2020 presidential election
Letlow said she would have joined the majority of Republican representatives in objecting to the results of the 2020 presidential election in Congress, had she been in office at the time


As for the DEI shite, She was a finalist in 2020 for the LaTech President position. Nobody in academic admin prior to 2025 could survive without some support for DEI at colleges and universities. Since she left academia she has not uttered a word about DEI to my knowledge.

Bottom line for me. I am an ABC guy, Anbody But Cassidy. For me DJT has endorsed Letlow twice and despite Fleming working for him in the WH in multiple positions. I trust DJT.
