Scalise: Louisiana defeat doesn't make Trump 'look bad'
By Zack Budryk - 11/17/19 02:27 PM EST

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards’s (D) reelection by a narrow margin Saturday did not make President Trump “look bad” after Trump visited the state three times in support of Republican candidate Eddie Rispone.

“What he said was he'd be made to look bad whether he came in the state or not. Eddie Rispone made up about a 22-point disadvantage over the last month because of President Trump's involvement. So Eddie Rispone was at about 27 in the primary. He ended up at 49,” Scalise told Fox News’s Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”


“So clearly President Trump's involvement made a big difference at helping close that massive gap, and, look, the governor's polling showed he was above 50 before President Trump first started getting involved. That forced a runoff,” Scalise added. Trump did not make an endorsement in the primary, urging supporters to vote for either Rispone or his competitor, Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-La.). No candidate achieved a simple majority, forcing the Nov. 16 runoff election.

Yeah, I can't believe that Donald hasn't been a deciding factor in why Republicans have lost elected positions.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Now this is a stretch.  Republicans got 51.8% in the first round.  Then Trump made it a referendum on impeachment.

Of course it does.  It was a tremendous defeat that President Trump nearly turned into a GOP win, and as we all know close wins don't count./sarc
