Louisiana Nov 16, 2019 Run-Off Election Results thread

When I'm right about 2020 I'll look like a genius

And when you’re not you’ll become a massive punchline here

I will be right . I understand politics better than anyone on here.

Arrogance like that won’t make you a lot of friends here

I don't care . I'm a successful 33 year old Male.  I don't care what Democrat hacks on the internet think of me.

You're like, 16. Unless you show me a picture of your yacht, I don't believe you

[Rookie Yinzer]

Black Louisianans showed up and showed out.

If JBE wins, there's no doubt: the suburbs and urban areas are all that's responsible. Most of rural LA has swung 25-40 points to Rispone compared to 2015, despite JBE being a popular pro-life Democrat who gave hundreds of thousands of poor white trash healthcare and balanced the budget. Really no reason left to pander anymore...

What makes you think being pro-gun and pro-life only matters to rural voters? It's a big part of why JBE is winning in the suburbs tonight

The difference in the suburbs between 2015 and tonight is built off of a large cohort of GOP-DEM converts who didn't vote for JBE 4 years ago and who don't really care about all of that to the same extent; they're mostly post-Trump former GOP exiles. More than anything, these types are "anti-gun" in the way you look at them.

Let's also not forget that black voters are likely responsible for a hefty portion of this, considering JBE is only outperforming his 2015 margins in a handful of suburban areas (Jefferson - & Tammany by a hair).

Then why did they vote for Republicans in every other race tonight?

[Oryxslayer]

Literally all but one precinct left uncalled is in a JBE county. How high do you think he'll be able to pump up the numbers?

[Lisa's voting Biden]

I really wish they kept the predictions for LA-GOV open longer here. I'm only 1/3 this year now.

I will be right . I understand politics better than anyone on here.

The 2019 governor elections are an absolute disaster for Trump and the Republicans. That's not really an arguable point.

the only thing that matters is 11.3.20

We'll see you then.

So how will President Fartbag and his spin machine spin this one?

Haha what an amazing roast you're so funny

"R**** RISPONE was down by 80 points before my rally last night! I came in and did what I could, but he was just too far behind. Should've asked for my help sooner!!"

Disaster goes too far for the net loss of a single governorship

No it doesn't. These are 3 states where Trump won in a landslide and was very involved in trying to get Republicans elected. None of the Republicans were fundamentally broken candidates like Roy Moore or David Vitter. And despite all that, Democrats took 2 and at least improved a lot in the third.

And why did they do that? The suburbs have turned against Trump. The suburbs of Louisville, Cincinnati, Jackson, and New Orleans are repeating what the suburbs all over America did in 2018, proving it wasn't a fluke or a flash in the pan. Republicans will not be able to count on winning the suburbs at their previous margins going forward, and that is a disaster for the party.

[KaiserDave]

A combination of outstanding black turnout, white suburbanites, and rural blue dogs have propelled JBE to a great victory tonight!

[SN2903]

The only election that matters is about 11.5 months from now.  If trump wins reelection Democrats literally are a laughing stock for decades.

Because nobody knows any of those other downballot losers and no-names.

[Brittain33]

Rispone was down 17 points in the polls and Dems were poised to retake the majority in the legislature before Trump showed up and righted the ship.

[Holmes]

Literally everyone shut up and and stop fighting. I just want to read about the election.

[Adam Griffin]

215 out of 248 precincts remaining are in Orleans & EBR

"Good Saturday Evening! I just treated myself to a delicious dinner from McDonalds. Too bad Eddie Rispone lost, I did my best to save his dying campaign. Oh well. Anyway, I just finished my second Big Mac. I will be briefly relaxing until 0300 and then hit Twitter before getting some Z's. Tomorrow is work day number 1284!"

[OSR stands with Israel]

So who which party will win the overall vote in LA/KY/MS

[Xing]

Jefferson is done. Edwards got exactly 57% of the vote there. Pretty insane trend there from 2015.

Tonight matters for redistricting after the census, and for protecting the Medicaid expansion.

Dude shut up and take your humiliating defeat with a modicum of self-awareness

Take a little advice from my Neoseeker days, kiddo: trying to one-up every single message in a thread does absolutely nothing for your credibility and, in all actuality, makes you sound very much like a screeching thin-skinned whiner.

It's over. R win based on what is out.

Ok, but you were literally just saying suburban voters voted for JBE because they're exiles from the GOP who have lost their connection to it.
