Not a fan of JBE, but Rispone was an idiot and would have likely handled this worse. We do a piss poor job in LA when it comes to options for governor.

My first time voting was when Duke ran against Edwin Edwards. A KKK grand wizard vs a convicted/corrupt criminal. Geez I hate LA politics.

I'm not a fan of JBE either but he has been pretty good. Most leaders actually have been tbh. We have to be honest with ourselves and know that this is uncharted waters for everyone

That isn't shocking. I assume they are all asking for their top end estimates needed. No one is going to get reelected if any constituents die from of lack of resources because they are benevolent to another state.

Remember all the Honor Code jokes? The state of LA is absolutely benefiting from a leader that has a West Point education, was a rifle company commander and a graduate of the Ranger course. Its a big job but his education and training have prepared him for the task.


Our tax dollars trained him. It’s good to see some positive results.
Too bad he didn’t pay attention in economics class and too bad he made friends with the unions, the trial lawyers and the socialists of he might be able to lead the state better during the good times.

The anti-trump media wants trump to turn 4,000 ventilators into 50,000 ventilators like Jesus did with fish and bread.

He has kept the state in the top 50 in all list.

I wish someone would remind Mayor Perkins here in Shreveport. West Point grad and a Harvard Law degree hasn't helped us with his cronyism, back room deals and race baiting.

I was naive to think he would be different.

Same. I had hopes for the guy (at least to some degree) but he's been ridiculous

I am not a fan, but dude just got blitzed with half a dozen gotcha questions designed to smear the Trump Administration. He didn't fall for any of them and was even keel. Good job, sir.


I was not a JBE supporter, and I was highly critical of him, but I have been watching him during this ordeal and not only have I been impressed, I’m actually starting to like the guy. A rare breed of a dem.

I feel like you’re the type of guy who is going to post the negative job growth of him under this crisis as well.

He is the leader of the state, he doesn’t represent the state. He is doing very well leading us during this crisis.
But all the economic data and all the social studies indicate his policies aren’t very good.
Look at economic numbers, job numbers. rankings, etc. prior to this crisis and they are very bad.
