Before Ralph started winning?

Rispone is polling ahead now.

If you're a conservative, you should be asking yourself what the hell is he doing asking that when the guy to his left is a very entrenched democrat incumbent and is a very credible threat to win outright in the first round.


Thank you

Did he have to ask Abraham a question? Could he have asked JBE one instead?

So how did Cassidy defeat an incumbent female carrying the Landrieu name recognition by nearly 10 points? That’s exactly how a head to head between DumbBel and any Republican not carrying Vitter’s baggage should end up. Just need to keep the moron from winning in the first round.

Maybe not after tonight's performance. I suspect Abraham helped himself tonight and will be in the #2 spot come election night.

I don't think Abraham's response hurt him any. Abraham cried about how you shouldn't attack me for not casting votes in Washington and I supported Trump since the day he was inaugurated.


Rispone was rolling, he was getting at Edwards. Why pivot and take on Abraham? Keep attacking the problem, Edwards.

I don't think it's going to matter, as weak as JBE's opponents are.

Rispone is still easily the best candidate up there. Abraham called him a liar about wanting Trump to step down. How is Rispone lying about an op-ed that Abraham himself wrote? Is Abraham insinuating that he didn't write the op-ed?

When Abraham said tonight that Louisiana is the only 1 of the 50 states to lose jobs, JBE yelled “that’s a lie”. What data is JBE using to deny this? Isn’t that from Bureau of Labor?

From July of 18 to 19 La. lose jobs according to BEA. The fact is there are fewer jobs now than there were in Jindal’s last month.

His out of state political advisors

Who are they?



Are you really that uninformed that you did not know that Rispon's team is being run by out of state consultants or do you just not know their names?

quote:

Bryan Reed is a well-traveled and seasoned campaign manager, working prominent statewide races across the country from Illinois to Oregon for the past several years, Reed worked as Deputy Political Director for Rand Paul for President during the 2016 cycle. Reed has earned a solid reputation among conservative political outsider candidates.

Ron received 26% in 2012 but Rand only received 4.5% in 2016. Ron's supporters were not going to Trump; they were going over to Cruz. I volunteered on Rand's team in Iowa prior to the 2016 caucus. Reed is one of the guy's that I blame the most for Rand losing the majority of Ron' support in Iowa to Ted. Dude just did not understand how things on the ground were being perceived and he could not organize a ground game worth shite.

I think Rispone did ok I just think he has to start talking policy and how he is going to do all this stuff as “an outsider”. Those were good lines originally but he has to respond about how he is going to do it. Still voting Doc.

Yes, that was very confusing to hear. He was deflecting the point being made tho.

If we're playing the no one watched so it won't change the polls line everyone was spouting after debate 1.

The first debate is always the most watched.

Less people will watch tonight and less will watch on October 9th. October 9th is after early voting ends. Whoever came up with the debate schedule needs to be fired from whatever job they have.

He was within the MOE in a poll with a MOE of 4.2% and he was in third place in the poll that came out today.

He was weak on substance. I wish I had counted how many times he said Trump and CEO. And his attacks on Abraham will not help him.

To clarify, I would only vote for him if he called Fast Eddie a white Bobby Jindal in a commercial.




How does that take nuts? He is just shitting on a fellow white person and shitting on a republican. The democrats do that every day. The La democrats shite on Jindal about being Indian every day of his time as Governor.

Trump was never strong on substance in the debates. But when you get into office you think like you did your whole career and cut down on all the crap.

The albino Jindal is going to make sure that there is no runoff.

Sounds like just the guy Louisiana needs. Louisiana doesn't have conservative politicians. I'd kill for a Rand Paul or Ted Cruz to run this state.
