Louisiana Paper Blasts Clinton for Snubbing Flood Victims: Is It Because We’re a Red State?

"If Hillary Clinton becomes president next year — then she will inherit the job of overseeing the federal role in Louisiana’s recovery from historic flooding. That’s reason enough for Clinton to visit the state and see the damage for herself, and she’s made a bad decision in avoiding Louisiana since the waters receded.
Rebounding from what’s been described as the worst American natural disaster since Superstorm Sandy is going to take many months, and the work will be ongoing after President Barack Obama leaves office in January.
Louisiana is a reliably red state with few electoral votes, and Clinton isn’t likely to flip it to her column in the coming election. But Louisiana’s crisis should be a call to conscience and compassion, not the cold calculus of electoral math. The scale of this disaster argues for sustained, bipartisan resolve to rebuild our broken state.
If she wants to be the next president, Hillary Clinton should act like one, and come to Louisiana."
