Someone is keeping your prize from you

The core of Rispone's message here is this. There is a "boom" happening. You might not feel it where you are but it is happening. And someone is keeping it from you.
While Edwards is trying to bring former Gov. Bobby Jindal to the forefront of the governor's race, the Republicans – especially Rispone – are trumpeting Trump. The Republican Governors Association went on TV shortly after Edwards with an ad claiming Louisiana is being left behind from a Trump-fueled economic boom.

Trump is trying to give you things but John Bel is performing some secret conspiracy to give it to somebody else.  You might not actually see those people very often but they are there. And they have what's yours.
Rispone's ad also represents the latest diatribe from the Rispone campaign on immigration, which has traditionally not been a campaign issue in a state where only 4% of residents are foreign born, and even fewer are unauthorized. Last week, Rispone's campaign put out a newspaper ad that said if elected, "Louisiana will stand with President Trump" to "build the wall," and called New Orleans a "sanctuary city." The ad also said he would not "put up with ANTIFA lawlessness," referring to the left-wing activists, or "tolerate replacing the American flag at government buildings with Mexican ones," an apparent reference to an Aurora, Colorado immigration detention facility. 

In the TV ad, Rispone says, "as governor, I will work with President Trump to protect our constitutional rights, to ban sanctuary cities, and end taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants in Louisiana."
Pretty ugly stuff.  Meanwhile John Bel's message is, "Hey let's give $3 million plus a ton of tax breaks to Methanex!"  Can't imagine that might backfire....
