People who are the messengers of bad news often catch heck. A guy named Rispone is not going to resonate with a certain segment of conservative voters. A certain segment of conservative voters are not particularly motivated to vote by language and behavior that disrespects women and others. That would probably explain much of the discrepancy in this particular election. Once the remaining vote count is limited to cities and large population parishes, the Dem vote will just get stronger. People who are surprised because the “majority love Trump,” must not be looking at the poling data which show him with no more that 40% approval and often less than that. What the Dems will have trouble with is finding a ticket that is centrist enough to bring in Independents and a few Republicans, and not so centrist that a lot of more liberal enthusiasm is lost in the election effort.

Well then those conservative pearl clutching voters need to buck up and understand we have a country to save and standing on the sidelines complaining about tone is a worthless enterprise.

And yet they voted twice for Bobby Jindal. I suspect it’s a combo of Rispone being a lousy general election candidate, and the incumbent being a great campaigner.
