That dude should just save his money and drop out of the race.

And he can move back home to chicago.

Cassidy's got something like $12-15 Million in his campaign account, and it ain't his own money. He's not going to just let it sit there and not try to at least buy himself some favors or a future position somewhere that he can continue making money off taxpayers.

Will likely remain in D.C. and Baton Rouge working as a slimy lobbyist or "consultant" after he loses.

Rolfe McCollister... and he didn't really disagree.

I'd be shocked if Bollinger was in support of Cassidy.

Rolfe McCollister is one of those Baton Rouge Republicans who loved Bobby Jindal and is very likely supporting and voting for Cassidy in this year's Senate race.


100% he is. He's basically planting the seed that it's those whacky MAGA folks who irrationally hate Cassidy.

At best he is too gullible to be our Senator because he easily gets manipulated by Democrat stupidity. At worse, he is a RINO.


He’s a windsock.

If he ever had grounded values, he forfeited them years ago in favor of poll watching to maintain his political career.

Give me a politician that votes on principles and values even if I disagree with some of them.

Do people forget that Rolfe endorsed Sharon Broome the first time she ran for mayor of BR? He doesn’t know shite and nobody should listen to anything he says.

I will climb over people if I have to, just to vote for someone else. If Pol Pot and Stalin were on the ticket together, I'd vote for them before Bill C.

Bill Cassidy has voted against his constituency far too many times to be forgiven. We elected him to represent the majority of the people back home. He decided to do the blatant opposite. That's unforgiveable.

Democrats

There are also about 800,000 No Party voters registered who have the option of voting in either primary. Many will likely vote in the Republican Closed Primary.

Ice cold take; going to be Cassidy and Letgow in the Closed Primary Runoff.

Please correct me if I'm wrong; I don't think a No Party voter can skip the 1st and vote in the runoff. And obviously, a unaffiliated voter cannot vote in the Democrat closed primary and the Republican closed primary runoff. (No switching ballots).

Are the No Party numbers this high? This is Cassidy's only hope to get into the run-off.

Closest number that I can find. I don't think there is an appreciable amount of registered Green, Independent PARTY, Libertarian Party, etc. voters; so the Other Parties column from the Secretary of State, updated 2/1/26, is likely mainly No Party voters.

STATE
Total:2,964,303
Democrat: 1,077,759
Republican: 1,052,420
Other: 834,124

Even if Trump endorsed him....I'm not voting for him. I won't.

Trump not endorsing him just seals the deal for a lot of people and I'm glad. Cassidy is a snake and he doesn't understand his own constituents.

And that's the easiest decision I've had in the voting booth since 2024.

There's still some big money Republican types who are in Cassidy's corner. Davidson and Rispone


Respect for Rispone, but he's throwing his cash away if he goes all in on Cassidy.

Better for Louisiana and Baton Rouge to just shovel it into St. Micheal's and the other private schools like he has been doing.
