Ralph Abraham: I Will Put an End to Sanctuary Cities in Louisiana when I'm Governor

JBE won over suburban women and moderate Rs who were repulsed by Vitter. I'd be surprised if many people who prioritize immigration voted for JBE.
You can spin this all you want but it's typical of the LA GOP. Reminds me of all the goobers who ran commercials from 2009-15 in this state with their family behind them saying they'd fight the "Obama Agenda" from their seat in Baton Rouge.

Welcome to politics.
He has to do more than this. IMHO, the main reason JBE is a major threat to be re-elected is that the Republican nominee's lack connectivity to the base. This is not an issue with legs in the minds of educated voters imho (not that it doesn't have merit). It is just that those voters have enough wealth to insulate them from contact with this issue.
If you want to connect with the voters on the fence (RINOs), then I feel that these are some of the issues that need to be pushed:
Traffic congestion
Infrastructure
TOPS (restructuring)
College Campus safety
Mind you, I am not saying don't address fiscal concerns. I am simply saying that Abraham and Rispone are having a hard time getting traction. Pandering to the people who are already going to vote for you seems unwise.
Just my .02.

Uh dude, that's almost verbatim for what I said while leaving out the part where I said JBE discussed absolutely nothing policy wise.
Were you blasting him for that like I was back then?
No, no you weren't.

When the race is a straight up ideological and nationalized cultural battle, they will swing back to conservative.
Vitter lost because a lot of democrats who usually vote republican went to JBE.

Uh huh, and they won the election and got to make policy we are forced to live with.
Don't like it?
Come up with a candidate you like that can pander way better than those guys.
Fortunately for us, both conservative candidates for Governor are actually legit unlike the two arse clown RINOs in Dardenne and Angelle. So I say to them, pander away.

Do you ever demand competence from the state GOP or are you assured they're doing a good job by the (R) next to their names?

Come back when he proposes to eliminate the state income tax or cut whole departments
Have to get elected first. To do that, a bit of pandering is required.

I'm fine with pandering. What I'm not fine with is the same lip service we've gotten from state Republicans since the 1990s.
Which candidate is proposing to slash spending and cut departments? Reform the tax code?

There has not been one single poll that shows he has the necessary 50.1% to win outright in the first round.
And he's in dead heat if not outright tied with the republican candidates in the runoff.
There's also been a poll showing more than 40% of democrats want another democrat for Governor.
This race is shaping up to be like the 2014 senate race.
quote:

Louisiana does not have party nominees.
If you're talking about Abraham, he just tied JBE in a runoff poll despite having like 50% name recognition.

Not enough of them to matter.
Besides, they already know JBE's positions after 4 years.

Abraham just got the endorsement from a public service commissioner who supported JBE in 2015 and snagged Boysie Bollinger for his finance committee and Bollinger gave money to JBE this year.

Who said anything about the state GOP?
I don't give a shite about them. They don't control who runs or who doesn't. They're just an advertising and financial support apparatus for republicans in Louisiana.
You give them way too much influence that is laughable.
If the State GOP had the power and influence you think they have, they would have never allowed the Vitter/Jindal feud to boil over to a point where it helped JBE win the Governor's mansion.

True...but is this the issue?
I don't see this as getting much traction. Those voters that feel strongly about it were going to vote R anyway. IMHO, there are other issues to connect to the "soccer moms" and the "middle class" Republicans. I would focus my pandering to those issues.

So, it means they want somebody OTHER than JBE? What do you think that means with regard to the GOP candidates? I wouldn’t think much.
Posted on 7/4/19 at 9:56 am to NIH
You can’t force the governor to send State Police to patrol the French Quarter because NOPD can’t do it and do their job parish wide.
Cut the cord, let NO bring in the illegals and take care of them by themselves.
Harboring illegals is wrong, picking and choosing which laws you enforce is wrong.

The State through the State Police have a vested interested in keeping the hotel/motel tax collections fat.

Well did you read the question?

There could be an opportunity to depress the democrat base to just enough where JBE can't get 50.1% in the first round.
How that happens remains to be seen and I hope it can be figured out. That much discontent from the base is not a good thing for an incumbent.
