While we certainly didn’t talk about the Louisiana flood situation much during GrokTALK!, we did take note that Donald Trump (along with Mike Pence) did travel down to flood ravaged Baton Rouge area. Former US Senator Mary Landrieu (LA-D) actually complemented him as her Party’s Prez icons, Obama and Hillary, were nary to be found (emphasis mine):
UPDATE: In A Rare Moment, Mary Landrieu Thanks Trump For Louisiana Visit, Throws Shade At Hillary & Obama.
After Donald Trump visited Louisiana to help unload supplies for victims ravaged by the massive, unprecedented flooding, former Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) thanked the GOP nominee and actually called out Hillary Clinton and President Obama for refusing to visit.
Here’s what Landrieu said:
Mary Landrieu: ‘I want to thank Mr. Trump for coming to LA…I hope Sec Clinton will make her way down. I hope Pres Obama will make a visit.’

Meanwhile, Obama is has remained on vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, while Clinton has yet to even make an official statement on the flooding.
I really like how that UPDATE ended:
Ouch.
Remember, it was Woody Allen that said, “80 percent of SUCCESS is showing up.”
