The whole point of the jungle primary is to help Democrats win. It has the same effect in California often, only the reverse, helping Republicans win in solidly blue territory. Will our legislators ever grow the balls to get rid of it? Doubtful.

Rispone wasn't a "shitty candidate." He ran against a popular incumbent. It's shocking the race was this close. He did a good job. We don't need to turn to an establishment politician to win back the governor's chair. We need to keep doing what we've been doing. Nominating outsiders from the private sector who are in touch with the people.

Yeah I don't think there was a lot of turnout. I was dealing with depression myself and couldn't attend. Right now I'm working on starting a talk show where people can air their grievances and we can talk about local issues and I'll invite both candidates on. It'll probably premiere next week. Plain Talkin' with Daniel Ducote. I'm leaning towards Falconer, though.

All the Louisiana State Senate District 11 candidates have been invited. I'll be there. Patrick McMath will be there. We're going to discuss the election and any other concerns you have. Let's make it a big community event. Tell everyone you know to show up! We'll also be promoting Rispone for governor!

Obamacare repeal. Thanks, Rand Paul and John McCain.

As far as real life experience goes, I will add that I've walked the streets of Baton Rouge for four years, keeping them safe for little children. I would go out every night when I was away at college and patrol the streets, armed with non-range weapons, looking for crime. I was a vigilante. I've seen things that would scare all of you. I've battled folks. I've saved folks. I've gotten involved in it all. It's changed me. If y'all had seen what I've seen out there, and lived the way I had to, and do the things I had to do to survive on those streets, you'd understand my worldview. So I do have quite a bit of real world experience. But anyway, it's irrelevant since we're not even talking about my campaign now. I respect your differences of opinion all the same.

It's all about who I should endorse in the runoff. But I'll be making up my mind some time this week after meeting with the two folks.

Falconer and McMath sure think it matters, as they've both reached out to me to ask for an endorsement.

Believe me, I was being very serious. 98% of the people here understood exactly what I was talking about. EDIT: Holy shite, man. You're in my district and I still didn't even know who in the hell you were. At 12.43%, I don't know if either candidate wants an endorsement!

Listen kid, I know everyone is dunking on you right now. Truth be told nobody is going to take someone who just graduated college and decided to run for office without any real life experience seriously. Instead of worrying about who to endorse, why not focus that energy to do something entrepreneurial, learn a skill, or something. I doubt the other two candidates in the runoff could care any less about your endorsement. Not being rude, just stating a hard truth here. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I offered a serious policy platform that could've fixed our state. I've spent the past ten years studying this stuff and this is what I think would be best for our state. That's why I think people took me seriously.

Let's keep the discussion about who to vote for in the runoff - Falconer or McMath.

Yeah. What does that have to do with deciding who to endorse?
