Cassidy's political career in La. is over unless he becomes a pro-Trumper...

Dear David Bruce:

To respond to yours:

quote:

any respect I had for JBE (I actually know him and voted for him round 1) has evaporated


Apparently reading isn’t your strong suit, so I bolded the parts where I acknowledge where I was wrong.

But I will never apologize for voting against David Bruce Vitter because he poisoned the well with his primary campaign, and ignored all polling that said either Republican in the race could have beat JBE. Therefore he, like the rest of the Washington GOP ignored local politics, and backed him and had no plan to address the Honor Code campaign. So, although I was certainly never on the Republicans for JBE bandwagon- I was certainly OFF the David Vitter bandwagon.

JBE’s Covid response has been awful. Because it, like Vitter’s gubernatorial campaign that you must have run or something - was completely deaf to suggestions other than the course taken.

Read again.

I'm juxtaposing the fact that I never had any respect about JBE at all in the first place compared to you having respect for him at all regardless of how you feel about him now.

JBE is a piece of shite that would seriously harm Louisiana and I voted accordingly to prevent that. Twice.

You voted for him of your own free will and seek to blame others for it.

Already adressed this in my previous post.

You're big on revisionism.

quote:

This is one of "republicans" you claim was so much better....

This is one of those "decent" guys.

Jay Dardenne.

A "Republican" who not only endorsed JBE but also signed up to be his Commissioner of Administration (whore) and help him stab conservatives and hard working producers in the gut day in and day out for a fat government retirement pension.

What a swell and amazing guy he is. What a decent and principled conservative he is.



quote:

had no plan to address the Honor Code campaign


This is true. They definitely underestimated the appeal that JBE would have to ancestral democrats and soccer moms in the suburbs.

They didn't air so much as a single commercial, social media post or mailer against JBE until the runoff and by then it was too late.

Unforgivable political malpractice.

And that was a big contributing factor to the loss.

fricking really?

If it makes you less likely to basically call me a slut - JBE isn't the first Democrat I've voted for in my life. But he is certainly the last. So lesson learned on my account. Mea Culpa. I'm Republican or 3rd Party if the Republican is completely unpalitable forever and for always. Even if the Democrat is a suddenly cogent Kip Holden who is my favorite Democrat ever, or Sinema - who has been remarkably sane and the politician I have been the wrongest about ever.

That said - don't you ever talk to me like that again. I've got a thick skin. And I can take a joke. But you're probably the one that owes me an apology now, David.

Yeah, I’m betting that once his term is up, he doesn’t come back. He’ll settle into a nice townhome in Georgetown.

Along with some lucrative position within the pharmaceutical industry, a "consultant" perhaps.

Mann might be setting himself up for disappointment if he believes this. And where is this propping up of Cassidy for governor coming from? Has he indicated that he may look at that at some point or something?

What is polling like in this State for Bobby Jindal 2.0?

It's harsh. Crude. And brutal.

But it absolutely delivers the point that I'm making.

And that point is if I vote for a specific political candidate and he wins the election, I will own everything he does and is responsible for everything he does while in office. And I apply this point to myself and others as well.

Example: I voted for Bill Cassidy and in doing so, I consented to giving him a platform on the senate floor to ignorantly grandstand and showcase his anti Trump screeches when his stance on Trump wasn't even a consideration in my mind for me at the ballot box.

And I accept responsibility for that and seek his retirement from Louisiana politics after the expiration of his current term.

Can't get more simple than that.

Funny thing about Jindal, JBE is doing exactly everything he accused Jindal of doing in his 2nd term and is doubling down on it.

What a POS hypocrite he is.

Sorry Bob.

The Democrats won't vote for Cassidy. It's only the GOP that crosses party lines to vote.

Now what Cassidy WILL do is come in third, giving us Landry vs random Democrat. And then the GOP will split between staying home, voting for the Dem, and voting for Landry and random Democrat will win.

If Cassidy makes the runoff vs Landry, democrats will vote for him.

Why would any self described conservative want Cassidy as their governor?

Oh wait, many self described conservatives voted the current Dem into office.

No it will not.

The impeachment vote is actually why he has no chance winning another election in Louisiana beyond the expiration of his current term in 2027.

Like it or not, the Trumpers are an extremely territorial and vengeful bunch and will go scorched Earth on him. He’s juduas and Brutus to them after he crossed a red line that he can’t walk back. All options are on the table including staying home and letting the democrat win.

On that basis, Cassidy is a non starter as he would catastrophically damage the GOP’s standing in a gubernatorial contest against, regardless of the quality of the democrat opponent. You don’t have to be a huge Trumpkin to know Cassidy for Governor in 2023 is a horrendously bad idea.

The best thing Cassidy can do for himself and Louisiana voters is keep his mouth shut, not run for reelection, quietly finish his last Senate term and then go make his millions on K street in 2027 for a sweet retirement.



If even a fellow Dan Satterberg Republican like Sentrius doesn't think Cassidy can win, it's definitely bad.
