Lake affect snow around Buffalo due to Lake Erie is a very wild phenomenon for sure.

You talking about the dead end on Frenchtown by the railroad tracks or was their one on hoo shoo too as well?

I’m voting for Sid although, it’s probably an exercise in futility considering that Kamala carried EBR Parish.

Don’t forget— runoff elections always have like 10% participation compared to presidential elections where 40-45 vote.

Not only that the St. George vote has been paying very close attention and will come out fully engaged and vote the 2% property tax + Sid at very high levels.

Give his team a lot of credit- if you were a first time visitor to BR and didn’t know any of the dynamics of the race and you drove anywhere in the Parish— you would think Sid was going to win by a landslide by all the signs everywhere in EBR— Might be 20-1 Sid signs versus SWB.

Not that signs mean anything about actual votes but hats off to his campaign team and volunteers for at least making it a competitive respectable race in a matter of months.

Sid’s got a punchers chance.

We need Scott down here NOW in East Baton Rouge to work his magic— to do a quick 3 week project to oust SWB in the runoff.

Tell me he would not commiserate with a similar situation regarding the blight and drugs and homelessness on the streets of this town as well.

Didn’t Reagan grant amnesty with some immigration reform handshake deal that the dems reneged on? This is true. I forget the details.

Same thing happened with raising taxes-the Dems promised to cut spending if Reagan raised taxes with a hand shake agreement and of course the cutting spending never actually happened.

Let me tell you why I think Trump and the Republicans are screwed with just 10 days to go. 3 things: 1) Ground game

---

Just one rebuttal to this and it has nothing to do with official RNC ground game (which I think is much stronger than it has been in decades in its own right)—

Surely he realizes a guy moved to Pennsylvania right after the 2020 election and now has a literal army of people working night add day to flip Pennsylvania ?

I can’t remember the actual numbers but they have registered thousands and thousands of new republican voters and cut democrats leads in registered voter from like 700k to less than 300k (remember Trump only lost Pennsylvania by like 100k or so last time).

Also what about the early voting makes him feel like his assertions are being proven right ? Everything I’ve seen shows republicans in a much stronger position than 2020.

Certainly Trump will have an opportunity to respond. As he should. A jury should then weigh the evidence and credibility of the witnesses and render a verdict on whether he broke the law or not.

---

And that’s what your saying Jack Smith did here releasing all this to the public and out in the media 30 days before the election?

You sure you understand the difference between court system and court of public opinion?

Now your going to try to say with a straight face Trumps legal team has a proper way to respond to this in the media somehow?

No one thinks Ted James is the ideal candidate. But we live in reality. Its him or its her, and I don't want her for 12 years. No other candidate has any chance whatsoever.

---

Again— you say that like you are very confident and just assume Ted James is better- from everything I have seen and read about him— he has a lot of the same views and ideology as a Chokwe Antar Lumumba type radical. At least they have worked and associated with alot of the same national radicals anyway.

You think BR is bad now— maybe you should check out what Jackson, MS has been dealing with the last 6-7 years.

So we have an even more radical candidate than SWB in Ted James in the EBR mayoral race and now I am hearing big name local Republicans like Eddie Rispone are backing Ted James?

I don’t get it. Do some republicans actually believe James will be better than SWB?

He’s not— he was Kamala Harris Louisiana State campaign manager in 2020 race— that’s hilarious (and I guess par for the course with weak pathetic local state Republicans) if anyone thinks he will be less radical and more unifying somehow than SWB and definitely not somebody who will clean up the problems in this town.


I just don’t get it. Especially with Sid Edwards out there. Sure he’s a long shot to win a runoff — but I just don’t see how it really matters anyway if you have SWB versus James— they both are equally terrible at that point in a runoff. If you are a Republican— I don’t see how anyone—unless they are maybe promised something once James is elected, is making that call).
