frick Cassidy!!
He's terrible, just terrible.
I will vote for a potato before I would ever push the button for that douche again.
He willfully and knowingly voted against the will of the people he represents.
frick him

“No it won't. Those who want Trump impeached are voting for the other guy, no matter who that is.”
Correct. Mann is a moron. Joseph Cao tried to do something similar on the Obamacare vote. He voted liberal, and lost his base. The liberals didn’t even notice he catered to them in his vote. Look where that got the man: 1 term.

Hey, here’s a simple idea: Stop voting for democrats and clear as daylight RINOs that’s friendly with JBE.
Damn, you and I agree.
It still amazes me that "Republicans" are stupid enough to vote for a Democrat.
If the Republican sucks and you just can't vote for them, then vote third party or leave it blank.
Democrats are worthless trash.

So regardless of his policies that actually impact Louisiana and its citizens, your mind is made up because he voted to convict Trump?

There has to be a strategy by conservatives to get rid of Cassidy. Let's elect him governor so he can resign his senate seat, then recall his RINO arse as governor and get him out of politics in Louisiana.

My personal favorite is the myth that the Louisiana GOP is this all powerful and all seeing cabal that controls candidate selection.
If that was really the case, JBE would be in Amite chasing ambulances and 18 wheelers and his Covid biomedical state is nothing more than a figment of the imagination.
The LA GOP is one of the weakest state party organizations in the country and whether that’s intentional or accidental is up for debate but they’re clearly weak.
They can’t even get GOP majorities in the statehouse to pass conservative legislation but people expect them to control gubernatorial candidate selection?

From my very brief research, I think Cassidy has the record for most votes received for a State office in a single election.
He got 1,228,000. I think that's a record.

Yup. It's the complete opposite. LAGOP is completely impotent and useless and generally by their utter inaction causes more harm than good.
They could have a million bullets and not be able to shoot their way out of a wet paper bag.
They are many times I wish they WOULD get involved, even if it's to support the Republican candidate I'm not supporting, so at least we can have some clarity and an attempt at eventual unifying behind a candidate.

Closed party primaries is what’s needed here. We need finality, order and consensus around a single candidate.
And have it in the spring to provide as much time as possible for base consolidation.
Our current system of open jungle primaries is the complete opposite of what we need and gives us chaos, disorder and rampant sour grapes.
The only people in Louisiana who oppose closed primaries are white democrats who are scared of black democrats itching to take over the party and RINOs who would have a much harder time of winning party nominations.

only good thing here would be getting him out of the Senate
but if he and JBE were to basically swap places I will yack everywhere

I actually prefer our open jungle system. It doesn't put so much emphasis on Party and it's a fair way to pick a winner. If someone dominates and gets 50.1% - they win. Otherwise, top 2 go to runoff. It also reduces the number of elections we have to pay for.

If this was really a popular belief, it would be the norm nationwide. It’s not though.
Democrats and republicans who are despised by their bases are allowed to escape scrutiny and judgement by voters who are actively involved in politics and have a lot invested.
It’s a cowards way out and can have disastrous consequences for the general election for either party.

I don’t find this argument compelling.
I’m fiscally conservative but when it comes to a huge decision like Governor and Senator for the next 4-6 years and all of the policymaking, voting and governing they would do in office, you know, the consequences an election brings, I don’t mind paying for multiple elections to make sure the electorate makes a choice they are absolutely comfortable with.
Louisiana voters don’t get that benefit with the rushed jungle primary and runoff system that takes place inside of a month.

And you entertain this after rationalizing your vote for liberal democrat JBE?
What? Did you read my whole post? I also Said I want him to run BECAUSE HE WILL LOSE.
Sentrius. Call Dave and find you a pro bc your lack of one is apparently causing you to be unable to concentrate.
I will Speak slowly.
I will never again vote for a Democrat.
I would like Cassidy to run for Governor bc he’d most likely lose in humiliating fashion, because he won’t be able to make it to the runoff bc he’ll only split the Democrat vote and take left leaning independents in the primary. So worst case scenario we wind up with a Republican Governor that isn’t Cassidy and Cassidy stays in the senate.
That said if Cassidy makes it to the runoff for governor, he would beat whatever R he ran against with JBE’s voters, bc D’s and left leaning independents and Trump hating RINOs have no where else to go. If the person he beats is Landry (which would be the likely adversary under this narrow set of fricked up facts), Landry beats JBE in the special election when Cassidy steps down to be governor, even if Cassidy appoints JBE in the interim as a reward for his endorsement.
Either way - you won’t have to vote for a Democrat and you can continue to scream on the Internet and call people cocksuckers anytime anyone questions the Republican Party and it’s infinite stupidity.

wait till we unleash all those brand new voting machines we just bought here in LA - results will become shockingly more predictable going forward

I honestly don't care about the consequences to a particular party. Voters still have the final say so and aren't limited by party. To me, that's a good thing. Every candidate still faces scrutiny and judgement - its just from everyone rather than only the hardcore of each side.

I'm with you here that it could be pushed back.

I do. Anything that makes then weaker is what I'm for. Therefore I want jungle primaries.
