John Kennedy wins Senate Seat in Louisiana - Republicans now control Senate 52-48

Posted on 12/10/2016 7:31:00 PM PST by SamAdams76

Great news out of Louisiana tonight. With 80% of the vote in, John Kennedy (R) is blowing out Foster Campbell (D) by a 64-36% margin.

Some insurance for the Republican majority and this virtually guarantees that President Elect Trump gets the Cabinet he wants.

How could it have been any other result? The bandwagon effect alone guaranteed it. Who would want to have another member of the minority party representing them in the Senate? I know nothing about LA, but this had to have been a lock. And glad to see it.

Campbell’s main campaign thrust was to tie Kennedy to Trump...so Kennedy just said “yes, I support the President-elect.”

That strategy actually worked in Nevada. The Nevada Republican was winning by 10 points. Then he repudiated Trump, and lost.

Hi Sam,

No worries ~ I had asked to have it placed in Breaking News without success. Maybe I wasn’t requesting it properly. But that’s ok, just as long as the great news got to our fellow Freepers!

I saw that reception at the game and thought how amazing and wonderful it was. So blessed and grateful! Yea!

For those who don’t know, Rubio helped Trump win Florida. Give it up

If Joe Manchin, D-WV, flips in order to help him win re-election in 2 years, that will be 53-47. And with Mike Pence being the tie-breaker, it means the Dems would have to flip at least *4* Republicans to inflict damage on our nation on any critical votes.

More republicans getting elected to the senate and the house. Those Russians are still busy hacking and helping get more republicans into office. They, the Russians, already elected Trump into the White House. Thanks, Putin.

Apparently, hacking is now worth a lot more money to candidates than campaign contributions. Again, thanks, Putin.

Graham is already working on a bill will Durbin to legalize the illegals that Obama deferred action on with DACA, the so-called Dreamers.
Big problem is that if we let them emotionally manipulate people who feel sorry for kids brought here illegally by their parents, who are responsible for their situation, into legalizing the kids, then we will set ourselves up to never be able to deport the parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, anybody.

The Nevada candidate was a Cheap Labor Express stooge, a Jeff Flake wanna be.

While I think know the Trump/Pence visit during the flood was sincere, I think their being in LA has paid a yuge dividend!

I sincerely hope the declining, failing & dying Democrat Party takes a good hard look at the political slaughter that occurred in the state of Louisiana this evening!!! It was true political destruction....across the board.

I can assure you, folks out there in America land....that the 2018 Mid-Term elections will mirror what occurrred this evening, 100%, unless the Democrat Party wakes up to the reality that their current political mantra is as dead as an idea whose time has long passed.

I would suggest Democrats who still have sanity and common sense, transfer over to the Republican Party and start a new, more centrist political life!!! Hanging with Nancy Pelosi & company is as bad as trying to shake a bad drug habit, and failing in the process!!! End of story!!! Go figure these fools and idiots out!!!

Dems worried Trump will appoint ND Senator (D) Heitkamp Sec of Agriculture. A GOP candidate would probably win her Senate seat.
