John Kennedy, U.S. Senator and imitator of folksy talk announced he would not run for Governor of Louisiana against Governor John Bel Edwards. That decision was not surprising since he has no record to run on and was a supporter of former Gov. Bobby Jindal and his failed policies. And he now supports Trump's policies in Washington. Now comes an opinion column by Morris dated December 7 concerning Kennedy's decision and Morris' disappointment with Kennedy's decision.
Morris is still singing the same tune about Edwards being the only Democratic Governor in a deep south state and how Trump carried Louisiana. He than talks about how Bill Cassidy defeated Mary Landrieu and that Trump voters in Louisiana and the fact that Louisiana is a republican state still has its advantage. The people of Louisiana should remember Cassidy well. He is a doctor who said he had a health care plan to repeal and replace the ACA but his own party would not take up the measure.
Morris also makes the silly statement that since Kennedy is not running for governor, it doesn't mean that he will be taking it easy on Edwards. This writer has news for Morris, Edwards can take care of himself against any republican because republicans have no accomplishments to run on or talk about. Morris knows that and that is why he and conservatives continue to blame democrats for all things negative that take place on the republican watch.
Morris also said, "at the end of the day, Edwards is still a Democrat." THIS WRITER SAYS, THANK GOD HE IS. Morris tries to be coy and throws in, "assuming the President avoids serious legal problems in the coming months, Trump could be a major factor in the governor's race." His opinion column is all over the lot. Of course it is easy to understand since Morris is a Trump ditto head supporter no matter what. And that really says it all. Conservatives are stilled chapped at the BLUE WAVE on November 6 that blew their leadership out of the U.S. House come next month. And it even took place in Trump territory.
