The guy was a lifelong Democrat and got smoked by Mary Landrieu a decade ago.

Nowadays people go crazy when they see him. He comes out at Trump rallies and you’d think he was Trump himself.

He’s shown some real fight in the Senate and people love him for it. He would have beaten John Bel Edwards by 20 points.

I like Kennedy. He says what he thinks...and doesn't dance around it. Plus he comes off as very intelligent and well spoken. He was the second best speaker tonight...."Happy with crappy" was just funny...

The country boy act works well for him but the dude went to Oxford.

People were worshipping him at the Lake Charles rally last month. He could own this state if he wanted to.

Gotten really good at distilling an issue down to a soundbite...and a particularly folksy one at that.

However those that know what the issues notice that he is often full of hot air.

He is trending on Twitter because a bunch of blue check marks are mad he called Pelosi dumb. They aren’t even clever bashing him, the new right has memes and good jokes when they go after a dumb shite Democrat.

Closer to the truth than you know.

He is NOT what he appears to be. He is a hard core pay to play politician. If you think otherwise, you would be gravely mistaken.

I've seen him in action up close and personal.

Lots of funny quips, sure. Want something from him, bring cash.

I’ve never trusted the guy and in an election with a real opponent i think the one-liners will get old quick.

Not at all. What happened is that Rove courted him to switch sides as he was been a fiscal conservative all along and while state treasurer. Also, on local talk radio, he was a favorite guest to blow up Gov. Blanco's fiscal narrative post Katrina. He ran a campaign which had him not attending fundraisers or speaking around the state until the last few months of the race. He was leading in polls 9 months before election.

Hmm... I wonder why?

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) launched into a blistering attack against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) while speaking at a Trump campaign rally in Louisiana late Wednesday, stating that it "must suck" to be as "dumb" as her.

“In three short years, President Trump has doubled the growth in the greatest economy in all of human history. And do you know what our Democratic friends have done for him?” Kennedy asked. “Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to impeach him.”

"I don’t mean any disrespect, but it must suck to be that dumb," Kennedy added, prompting widespread laughs from the crowd and grinning from President Trump.
