I have always liked John Kennedy. As our state treasurer and on to his present position as a U.S. Senator from Louisiana. His country-fied comments and put-downs never cease to entertain me, however...
There seems to be a shift lately. I hope he doesn't completely abandon his past policy beliefs and loyalty to the Republican Party because of the huge Democrat wave that hit recently. Is he suddenly turning on Trump? Will he go the way of the few RINO's that are already embedded in the party and in elected office? Will he fight for values that Republicans now own or will he see this as an opportunity to gain favor from supposedly disgruntled voters?
Time will tell. But here's a message for old John...remember Bill Cassidy?

Yes. He is a complete poser. He has accomplished nothing besides doing DuPont chemical’s bidding. Drafted the refrigerant ban bill with Tom Carper of Delaware so DuPont could continue to have a monopoly on refrigerants.

Why? Because DuPont is headquartered in Delaware and manufactures the refrigerant in Louisiana. So they phoned up their senators for a bill to ban the competition.

Every Republican turns into a RINO at some point along the way

John Kennedy is one of those republicans who was a democrat like 20 years ago

To be fair the democrats 20 years ago are basically the republicans now and the republicans now are becoming more democrat with how Trump said it’s ok to be illegal as long as you don’t kill anybody

One day this board will look back and pine for the good ol days of Cassidy

Of course he is a RINO. His tactic is subliminal. RINO's did not want the MAGA agenda to change their course. Making America Great Again does not help the RINO.

Kennedy, aka Foghorn Leghorn, is a complete joke. When I first started to see him I was mildly entertained by his folksy humor. As the stakes got higher, he never changed his schtick and didn’t get serious about our problems.

Kennedy is a clown. Plain and simple.

He's Louisiana's version of Trey Gowdy, but straight. He's great for soundbites and little else. His Foghorn Leghorn schtick is old.

He's considering running for president. That's the answer.

The quips in chief. The only thing he has accomplished is make people think he exposes people so funny. He sits on his hands and has offered very little.

He had a chance to fight the last two years with majorities in both chambers.

"A clown"??? If so, he's one of the smartest clowns alive. He earned his law degree from Vandy, one of the most prestigious law schools in the country. Then he earned a Rhodes Scholarship degree in London. As for being a former Democrat, 20+ years ago every La. politician was a Democrat. I've caught a lot of his judicial committee confirmation hearings, as well as the Senate's budgetary committee hearings. Those hearing get little attention from the National media, primarily because he also represents 10000% of the GOP's interests.
His intellect alone mocks the claim that he is a clown & he is far from being a Bill Cassidy clone.
