Louisiana State Treasurer and Republican John Neely Kennedy has officially won the race for the only Senate seat still up for grabs this year.

We've seen enough of the early vote, shocking nobody we are calling #LASen for John Kennedy. Rs finish 2016 with a 52-48 US Senate majority
9:07 PM - 10 Dec 2016

With a sizable early vote lead, Campbell’s only chance was an overwhelming election day turnout, which he did not manage to rake in. Kennedy’s victory gives Republicans a 52-48 majority in the U.S. Senate.

Looking at the Decision Desk map, the only parish Campbell won in the early vote was East Baton Rouge Parish. A deeply red state in this cycle, Campbell for some reason decided to try and tie Kennedy to Donald Trump (who won the state by double digits just a month ago). Kennedy released a commercial saying “Yes, I do support our president elect” and then said very little else, letting Campbell just flounder.

Republicans also kept two other Congressional seats up for grabs on Saturday.

Why does this matter?  If I have given up cheer-leading for the GOP, why should I care which RINO or rat gets elected?  Should I even cheer a net loss of 2 GOP Senate seats, 6(?) House seats and couple state legislatures?...just because I thought GOP losses would be much worse with Trump at the top of the ticket?

They are all part of the problem.  Louisiana has just streamlined the uniparty system.  Former rat John Kennedy was a lawyer for Buddy Roemer...and a rat when he ran for US Senate in 2004.  He is a man who is pretty much ideologically identical to Donald Trump in the sense that he has no ideology except a finger in the wind.





  There is a joke about 3 US Presidents on a doomed airplane.  One President breaks out the parachutes and says "Women and children first."  The second says "screw the women and children," and President William Jefferson Clinton says "Do we have time?"

Using liberal logic it should be obvious this election was infiltrated by the Russians; on the other hand Ted Kennedy asked the Soviet Union to help the Democrats win the election against Reagan in "84".
Although they weren't much help back then they did manage to deliver and get a Kennedy elected now in Louisiana; how were they to know a man named Kennedy could be a republican.
Maybe there is a measurable difference between the former Soviet Union and the Russia of today; again that might be a maybe.

Ted Kennedy as a politician was not in anywise a decent man he set the standards for democrats very low, but not so low the Clinton's couldn't walk under it standing up.

I tend to agree wit you.  The Republican Party is not the party of Reagan anymore.  Collectively, they have swung to the left in, apparently, a mistaken belief that doing so will win voters.  In the process, they have alienated true conservatives.  Those of us who have maintained our conservative values no longer have a party to support. 

BTW, love the joke.

The Republican Party hasn't been the party of Reagan since January 20, 1989.

It hasn't been the party of Lincoln since that night in the Ford Theater, either, but that didn't stop
Republicans from calling themselves the party of Lincoln for what now seems to have been eons . . .
