The GOP needs to find someone to come and fix the party down here because there is no reason we should be losing much less not have a qualified GOP Governor candidate.

If I were dems I would definitely target the senate race in Louisiana in 2020. Bill Cassidy is vulnerable and lots of swing voters in the bayou state are moving towards dems.

According to Matthew Dowd (Maureen Dowd's son).

GOP in Louisiana lost the 18th District to a Democrat, the 62nd District to an Independent, 17th District to a Democrat, and 18th to a Democrat.

BTW there is no reason we should have lost in two of these districts since they were heavily Republican districts.


On the flip side is this type of mailer really fricking necessary?

Don't understand how GOP lost 17th District to a Democrat, when the seat was vacated by a Democrat, and only Democrats ran for the seat?????

There's a big difference between State and Federal races.

We may well see some seats in the state legislature swap across the aisle with this election due to Edwards having no real competition to challenge him (no big, statewide scandals, good financial rhetorical platform, no competition with enough name recognition below I-10) but I don't think it will transfer over to the Federal elections.

At this point Trump is looking like a Reagan 84 landslide for 2020 and Louisiana is very heavily Trump. Democrats in Louisiana will need to walk a very fine line between hooking onto JBE's wagon but doing so without being anti-Trump.

So Louisiana lost 1 "R"ino, but lost no conservatives.
Nothing changes.

Louisiana GOP has succeeded despite itself.

A committee of retards and apes could run a more effective party.

That is absurd. Trump will be extremely fortunate to be re-elected; and that will take help from the Democrats nominating a Klobuchar or Gillibrand or someone who can't be elected.

He’s done. Strangle the VIX. Route to a dark pool to hide the trade. Consult with Doc Fenton. Do the exact opposite as the Russian expert on the MB. Hide your women.

Move to Iowa. Dairy really is seasonal. Tariffs work. Look to Kobe beef. Tariff like polices are tariffs.

Taxes on a postcard.

Lock box.

Q sent me.

Be scared.
