They cant do that in the Primary. Have to be registered R or D.


I wish that were the case, but it's not. No Party voters can choose either the Democratic or Republican ballot at the polling place tomorrow. We do not have true closed primaries.

Bill Cassidy urged registered Democrats to switch to no party before the primary.

Letlow and Cassidy make the run off.

People are pissed at Bill bigly…and the combination of Trump and Landry backing Letlow are a big help.

Fleming tried his best. But his base peaks with the angry at the clouds and get off my lawn type of conservative voters. They’re loud. But they’re in the minority and aren’t well funded.

So, you think they are all going back to Cassidy now?


I never said or thought that to be the case. It is just pointing out your fallacy that Miguez would have made an easier path for Cassidy.

Also it still has some weight that if certain respected people put a bumper sticker on their car, it will influence locals to vote for that candidate.

Letlow & Fleming in a run off. Trump backing Letlow gets her in the Senate


Here is a wildcard that potentially blew my mind. What if Cassidy or Letlow lose and decide to run for a new House district race?

Terrible advice once again by snake rinos around him. Also a deal he made with Thune which once again gained him nothing.

Just look at their voting records. This isn’t hard. People want to be TOLD who to vote for. It’s a huge problem. Fleming is the only answer

Not really if you look at the area of Letlow' congressional district. It's socially conservative AF but poor AF. Some large landowners and a lot of closed papermills and plants. Funroe is the highlight of her district.

If there were old school Democrats still around that district could be ripe for picking up a seat.

The only place Fleming leads is in the minds of the obnoxious on FB who think someone is going to drill a CCS injection well in their backyard.

That’s pretty rich coming from a Louisiana voter. Have you looked at your Congressional delegation lately??

Conservatives voted Cassidy in. Conservatives voted Foghorn Leghorn in.
Conservatives voted Higgins in.

I’d be careful throwing your boomerang of stupidity at this runoff or you’ll be left with another septuagenarian blowhard claiming they’re fighting for Louisiana…again…when in reality they won’t do shite.

Just like the other blowhards.

Hardly anyone is backing Fleming financially. His campaign has been kept afloat past day 1 with personal loans to his campaign at $2.5 million a pop.

Voters without skin in the game is a really bad sign

Typical election. Typically our “leaders” are selected, not elected. The anti-Trump filth controls Cassidy so he has a better than average chance to pull it out somehow.

Cassidy ceiling is likely around 27%

Flemming and Letlow split the remaining ….my hope is Flemming leads the primary at 38% Letlow near the same around the 35%
