Everyone handicapping the 2008 congressional primary also thought Fleming would finish last and he ended up running away with it. Underestimate him at your peril.

I’m not voting for her. I don’t trust her. She may vote on “emotions”. I’m voting Fleming. He has a good track record and has a ton of support throughout the state.

Two problems with that comparison.

First, a 2008 congressional primary is not remotely comparable to a 2026 statewide Senate race. Different scale, different electorate, different media environment, different money requirements.

Second, he didn’t “run away with it.”

He got 35.1% in the primary receiving a mere 428 more votes than his primary opponent, he did not “run away with it”. He won the runoff 55–44. That’s competitive against a Democrat in CD-4 in 2008, he again did not “run away with it”.

Pointing to a close district race from 18 years ago isn’t evidence of statewide strength today. Current momentum is the key indicator.

Fleming is the best candidate. I don’t trust Letlow.

Fleming will always be butt hurt about the Trump endorsement. He can never be trusted .

It's political mudslinging time of the year. Attack ads actually work even if half truths at best.

Must be.. It was on TV. The same TV I just saw Bill Cassidy take claim for shutting down the border for Trump and completely disregard his taking part in OPENING said border under Biden. He also leaves out that he tried to impeach Trump. He also didn't say a word when they were bombing Trump with fake arse indictments daily. If I were to run into Bill Cassidy on the street I'm fricking him up. That dude is trash.

Why doesn’t he claim this about Fleming?


I know Fleming has his fans here, but Cassidy clearly thinks he can beat Fleming in a head-to-head runoff but not Letlow.

Well the polling says otherwise and Fleming has close to zero ads out and a fraction of the funding of either Cassidy or Letlow.
