I’ll vote Rispone but man he was beat down tonight



JBE needed a knockout punch. He didn't get one.

Rispone said nothing at all to really lose it.

Abraham was twice the candidate as Rispone. You idiots drank that kool-aid and here we are.

I'm watching it now. Rispone started weak but kinda ripped JBE a new one mid way through it with the facts

Problem is facts don't mean much these days

There was VERY LITTLE substance throughout the yelling match.

I kept waiting for a “Your mama is soo ugly!...” joke.

It was good to see Rispone getting under JBE’s skin. He looked really angry and came off as an arrogant jerk. Nothing changed tonight. Still going down to the wire. Question is do you want to remain “last” in everything for 4 more years or not.

It will never outdo one of the debates Edwin Edwards and Dave Treen had when one was telling the other to shut up and the other was telling his opponent to shut up. Very interesting verbal spar.

What are some good examples of facts that ripped JBE a new one?

Rispone hired FOREIGN workers at a time when there were thousands of Louisiana workers literally starved for work. It's not right. He never answered the question but I think we know the answer-
He wanted cheaper workers.


If they weren’t illegal they probably came on H2b program or something similar which requires you to pay them more than local guys so he wasn’t looking for cheap workers

Yeah, right. Coming back from a deficit, actually funding education, and working to find $ to fix infrastructure surely caused the downfall of LA. Pretty sure it was 50 when JBE took office but can't find data past 2017. Surely can't be due to the fact Rs controlled both the house and senate as well as the governorship from 2011-2015. Nah, I doubt that had any effect at all.

But Rispone can do anything right? He's a businessman. he's a leader.

Why can't he hire Louisiana workers at a time when Louisiana workers are hurting worse than ever before?

WTH are ya'll talking about? As an independent, who really doesn't pay much attention to Louisiana politics, I watched and thought JBE was a defensive a-hole. Rispone, who doesn't inspire much confidence, did mention eliminating income tax...eventually...to be a competitive, not to mention tackling the constitution. Sounds good to me.

Lake Charles is still BOOMING. Yet, there are MANY out of state workers here because some people just don't want to work or there are not enough qualified locals to fill the positions. Hell, if the State is going to pay you to sit on your arse, why go to work?

BTW, do you eat Crawfish? How many Louisiana people are running the Crawfish Boats? It sucks, but if our young people want to play video games and not work, seems like you need to get some Green Card bah's who don't mind doing a Dirty Job. As long as they are legal and there is a need, well what else can you do?

How many reasons do you want?

Was his company hiring at the time, maybe they didn't have any projects that needed more people than what he already had


Maybe there were very few projects in Louisiana at that time and it's hard to find Louisiana people who want to travel and be away from their families for years. ( I am in this industry, live in Baton Rouge and haven't worked in Baton Rouge in 7 years. I am in Texas right now, there is nothing at home)


He is not going door to door seeing who needs a job, did they apply with his company?


As I have already said..this is a specialized industry and it's not easy to get a job if you are a older person with no experience in that field. Most of those people would not want those jobs because they would be making significantly less than they were making at their previous jobs if they have no experience.


You meantioned oilfield. Oilfield and industrial electrician or instrument tech are not the same thing. They would not be making anywhere near what they were making due to lack of industrial experience.


To work in most facilities you have to go get and pay for, out of your own pocket, a TWIC card that costs around $130. If you don't have that you aren't going to be hired more than likely. Did they take the initiative to go get that done and submit to the background check and month long wait to get card?

Can/did they pass a drug and alcohol test?


I'm tired of typing now so I'm gonna stop. Bottom line, I know more about this than you do.

Rispone more than held his own given his lack of polish in such forums.

Really got under JBE’s skin a couple of times and made him lose his composure.

I voted for Edwards as an anti-Vitter vote because Vitter is an awful human being.

I contend there were a lot of traditional conservatives like me that will now go back to Rispone.

JBE is in trouble imo.

Neither is Governor. Having just watched the debate its obvious Rispone has ideas but no plans. That's Trump. Did we not have any more compelling candidates among the state republicans? Rispone, if elected, will stumble his way along trying to figure out where the money is.


Either you are a liar or a moron. But it is a fact after reading this post from you. A liar because you can’t be a knowledgeable conservative while thinking this, a moron because you can’t be a knowledgeable conservative while thinking this.

Trump has surprised the shite out of me, all while having to fight for literally everything that he has done.
