Well, Trump hands another Governorship to Democrats. (place 'face palm' emoji here)

"On Saturday, voters narrowly reelected Edwards to a second term, snubbing Republican businessman Eddie Rispone deep in the heart of Trump country."

"Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards will keep his job as the Deep South’s only Democratic governor, in a blow to President Donald Trump, who tried to boost his opponent."

Sorry...I didn't see this thread and just posted a dupe. But I guess it's worth two anyway.

It's as bad as D.C. and will never be run by anything but a Democrat.
Now you understand the meaning of the term "Louisiana Democrat"? Read their history. They love their corruption.
So, good. They'll continue to spiral down...but wait...they're already at the bottom.

J.B.E. was able to balance a Budget. Something Trump doesn't seem capable of doing.

"Louisiana has had three years of cash balances when budget years ended: $123 million from 2016-17, $308 million from 2017-18, and the latest one from the 2018-19 fiscal year that ended June 30."

Noone balances a budget when recovering from a recession. You show your ignorance with such a fucking stupid response.
