I am STRONGLY urging it. Be damned with the Cochran shills here and elsewhere
It may be the only way the R is able to keep the seat! Is it feasible ?
I agree! Even if it splits the vote and the Dem wins that might be the cost of winning the long game, and we should be playing the long game.
A write in campaign CAN win.
Look at the June 3 results here:

(Mississippi results are down the page)
Notice the top vote getter that night was McDaniel. The ENTIRE Democrat slate didn’t get HALF the votes of EITHER Republican.
I don’t think Cochran will get DEMOCRAT votes in the general election, do you?
McDaniel could repeat what he did on June 3 and be the next Senator from Mississippi.
Would it not be wise to first re-count, verify the ballots? I understand some in MS contemplating doing just that.
From everything I’ve read here this past month, Cochran is worse than most of the Democrats in the Senate.
I hope they fight this election fraud, tooth and nail. But that may be difficult if they have to work with a gang of RINOs in the state government and the AG office.
If that fails, then write-in next fall, by all means. There might even be some chance of winning, given the level of Cochran’s fraud and lies in this primary.
Run, Chris, run! It’s time to start dismantling the existing GOP piece by piece, starting with Turd Cochran, or we will NEVER have an opposition party in Congress that stands up for the Constitution, conservativism, limited government, and individual liberty.
tried for over a half hour to access his website and it seems to be crashing! Probably due to a avalance of people urging him to run as a write in!
Great way to keep Harry Reid as Majority Leader.

No can do. Sorry.
It may be the only recourse.
But I wonder, since so many people don’t “get it” that his name is McDaniel, NOT McDaniels, if people who added an “s” to his name would have their ballots disqualified. That would be terrible. That issue should be addressed beforehand.
I say do it. We’ve bailed out GOPe candidates for a long time only to have them backstab us on numerous occasions. It’s civil war in the GOP. Time to take the establishment on full force.
Ridiculous.
Absolutely.. Go for it.
Yes, this is the only way to send a powerful message to the RINO establishment. The same needs to happen to McConnell in Kentucky.
I don’t think you have to change to “no party” status to vote for a write-in in the fall. If you did I’m thinking only Tea Party and McDaniel loyalists would be will to do that. I say go for it. Wouldn’t need 50% at that point either - just simple majority.
If Cochran had an ounce of honor and loyalty to his constituents, he would vacate his nomination in favor of McDaniel. GOPe is treading in very dangers waters. Honest,salt of the earth voters do not like being bilked out of their rightful nominee.
Once again, the GOPe has committed fraud against its own party rank and file members. I have more respect for an armed robber. At least he is honest about his intentions.
