John Bel Edwards and Republican businessman Eddie Rispone for governor.

Here’s where things stand heading into Election Day.

I never say this about any voters or any state...but...I watched POTUS, Trump work his heart to win that governor seat in Louisiana over & over again....and, tonight i go to sleep feeling so badly for our great POTUS, and so upset with the GOP Louisiana voters.

God bless you Mr. President you did all any human being could do...you know the old saying, sir, “you can lead a horse to water....but...you cannot make him drink”!!! Sir; We, the majority of the American people, have your back...forever!!!

This one is over. Repub parishes mostly @ 100% votes counted.
Too many RAT parishes have too many votes not yet counted.
When the smoke clears - 52-48 Edwards

the ramifications of this loss: (1) sham-peachment will continue and intensify, moderate Dems in Trump districts will feel more comfortable (2) Sleepy Joe Biden will get stronger...

Correct. Edwards is palatable for Louisianians. As a native, I’m disappointed, but Edwards is decent

Let’s see if he stays that way, for his 2nd term.

There’s this....

Louisiana has the highest poverty rate in the nation under Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards, according to data released by the Census Bureau.

In Louisiana, all of the Democrats vote in all elections. If you forget or are
Drunk, they will find you and take you to the polling place and keep the polls open until you get there. If they can’t find you, someone else will vote for you. It’s common courtesy.

Yes, it seems that our fellow citizens are mostly unwilling to defend freedom, other than supporting the troops.

LA voters love having the highest poverty rate in the country!! Unreal!!

POTUS even mentioned this to them, at the rally, the other night.

Geez....wake up, LA.

What makes it so bad is the lower turnout of Republican voters when they knew from the early voting that the Democrats were organized and enthusiastic.

Dems have nothing on impeachment. Edwards is a Conservative Dem. No one in their fowled, Biden included, is even moderate. John Delany would have been. Dems can win when they run as moderates. Stay steady. The key is to separate the moderate Dems(and there are many) from the left.
