Democrat Edwards will face runoff in Louisiana governor's race

10. True Story

I had lunch in my favorite suburban New Orleans Indian restaurant yesterday and the owners, nice, middle-class immigrants with a daughter recently-graduated from medical school, had the TV on.

I gave my required “Trump is a moron” comment for all to hear, and they lamented the state-of-affairs. And then she told me they only vote in presidential elections. I told her to go vote for Edwards and how important that is.

My point is, there are Edwards voters out there—many stayed home yesterday. And once Edwards brings out the “big guns” for the general election, they won’t stay home.

Republicans flew in the top three Trump org criminals—Dad, Junior, and Pence—and they filled 600 seats out of the 20,000 seat Cajundome in Lafayette.

The media picture is skewed because that’s all Republicans have—spin. Edwards has a $1 billion surplus in the budget after Jindal left a $1 billion annual deficit. Those are the real numbers, and Republicans running a “give us that money in more tax cuts” doesn’t affect someone making $12 an hour under Trump and Republicans.
