It was on a college campus. Did you hear the response to climate change question? The moans and groans said it all. Lots of democrat voters in the building.

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?

All Edwards does is talk about how great his Louisiana economy is and how the state has been adding jobs for years. It's nonsense. The only thing Edwards knows how to do is grow government and increase taxes.

Rispone sounds just like Trump. He wants transparency and to handle Louisiana's economy with a business-first approach. Lowering taxes alone isn't enough, we need drastic changes. A constitutional convention is what Louisiana needs at this point and neither Abraham nor Edwards are willing to commit to it. Politicians who don't want politicians to lose an inch of power in Louisiana.

Voting Rispone

Yep. JBE did some damage with Jindal barb. I can already see the gumbo pac ads now. Eddie Rispone supported Bobby Jindal, Eddie Rispone is no outsider he is just a white Bobby Jindal.

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.

Problem is Trump still needed to GET elected and Abraham wasn't there for him. Abraham danced around the question and didn't answer it.

Rispone's Jindal answer hurt him more than the Abraham whining.

Abraham has a smart online ad of Rispone praising him as a good man and good conservative.

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.




His out of state political advisors do not understand how a jungle primary works and apparently neither do his white boot supporters.

If he did that I would vote for him just because it would show he was sporting a large set of cods.

Just don't see either Rispone or Abraham beating Edwards. Looks to me like Edwards for 4 more years. Surely, the Republicans could have run someone better than those two, like Kennedy or Scalise.

Did rispone give any specifics about what he would cut or how specifically he planned to improve the economy? They all said they wouldn’t roll back Medicaid. Just trying to understand what he plans to do different exactly.

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

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?

Remove any bias & this is painfully obvious.

News to me. Too many friends, relatives & business acquaintances have recently left our state for work opportunities.

Overall, the debate was a big letdown by all.

If we're going off twitter stats, Rispone has 1407 followers while Abraham has 2857 followers and Rispone's tweet the same time range as the video has one retweet and nine likes.
