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.

Our very own Kennedy. Democrats must feel like they've just taken one in the nuts.

We may as well go for the ki11 in 2020 by replacing some RINO senators with solid conservatives and, additionally, targeting 8 Rat seats that will give us a 60 vote behemoth.

With so many weak-sister Senators like McCain, Graham, Flake, Murkowsky, Hatch, Heller, Corker, Alexander, Hoeven and Rubio (those are just the ones who voted for Rubio’s amnesty bill) we need every vote we can get.
Let’s hope Kennedy is better than the aforementioned Cheap Labor Express Republicans.

Looks like somebody beat me to it. Sorry about that. Mods can put the original thread in Breaking News and remove mine. But I was so psyched that Free Republic came back up that I wanted to get the good news out there!

Got to watch parts of the Army/Navy game today. Was great to see the reception Trump got there.

I think... hear me out, I am a crazy spirited redneck... Donald Trump was speaking prophetically here.

When we’ve won, we then need to rest the burden of carrying the new result forward upon the Lord. Keeping the blessing going will be too much of a burden for us to carry alone.

Like Benjamin Franklin, a sometimes spiritually perceptive man, was quoted to have said: a republic if you can keep it.

There’s only one real way to keep a blessing that was engendered by a special revelation of the Lord, and that is to rest it on the Lord. Try to carry it ourselves and it will rot.

In 2018, Flake, Heller, Corker and Hatch need to be replaced.
They voted for the Gang of Eight amnesty.
In 202, we need to replace Graham and Alexander.
Ditto for them.
Unfortunately, Rubio, Hoeven, McCain and Murkowsky were rewarded with another term for voting against the citizens and the rule of law and with the Gang of Amnesty, six more years of treachery for them.

Well, now how hard was that? Campbell’s main campaign thrust was to tie Kennedy to Trump...so Kennedy just said “yes, I support the President-elect.” And he really didn’t say much else.

The Democrats are soooo stuck on stupid.

I’m waiting for the first “gang of —” to begin their sabotage.

I would like to take it to the leftists with as strong resolve as they pushed 0bamakare.
