I’d bet that if Ms. Smith hadn’t run, McDaniel would have received over 50%.
Smith is perhaps proving McDaniel’s point.
“The reason there is a run off is because of Chris McDaniel. He split the GOP vote so Ms. Smith did not get over 50%. “
And it’s a damned shame Chris didn’t win. This woman is another train wreck! And if you think things were bad in FL and GA, you should not forget AL and MS. The people in these two states have the intellectual capacity of an amoeba.
If this is close or a loss we need to do some hard thinking as to how we are campaigning as a party. As the democrats go hard left we seem to be losing ground in very republican states. We should be blowing out the democrats in solid red states. It’s easy to point at Texas or Florida where out of staters might be closing the gap, but in Mississippi, Alabama or Montana, we should dominate. Something is not adding up as to the citizens belief systems and how they are voting.
An R jersey is better than a D jersey, but just barely in this instance.
blah. stupid column. won’t happen. nonetheless, people on FR will scream like two year olds girls about how mcdaniel is God, moore got ripped of, and hyde-smith is a LOUSY RINO ESTABLISHMENT CRONY-CAPITALIST GOPE UNIPARTY BUSHITE OPEN BORDER GLOBALIST CORPORATIST FREE-TRAITOR NEOCON MULTILATERALIST SCUMBAG!!
Why is there never any concern when a Democrat candidate makes wild and insensitive remarks?
did they just call it a “jungle primary”? isn’t that racist?
tea party members will vote hard for the republican. espy is toast.
This is a psy-ops piece designed to dishearten Mississippi voters. Those who call Hyde-Smith a rino are helping the creep who wrote this piece of BS.
Everything that could be an indicator of victory points to Hyde-Smith but here are the biggest ones: in the only post election day poll she leads 50/36 with 14 points “undecided.”
To win Espy has to pull EVERY SINGLE UNDECIDED vote.
There is no election day registration, no early voting, and only photo ID voting.
With the exception of Hinds County Espy’s counties are all in places where less than 12k voted while the combined Hyde-Smith and McDaniel vote won counties where 25k 34k 40k 45k and 50k voters voted. Big counties are where voters live closer together and are easy to reach; small counties take much more work to pull out voters from.
McDaniel has endorsed Hyde-Smith and already moved 8 1/2 points of his support to her.
Trump will be doing two rallies on Monday and very few will have already voted because there are no “no excuses” absentee voting and only people 65 and over can absentee with out excuse.
The entire RAT cheating brigade must be on the ground down there right now.
They can win this, and restore Collins and Murkowski to their veto over Supreme Court nominees, unless the GOP is working as hard as the RATs are this week - which, of course, they are not.
“He split the GOP vote so Ms. Smith did not get over 50%. “
Perhaps it’s because Ms. Smith is stupid.
I guess the Narbour machine ain’t as good as they thought
Face facts, McDaniel is a shitt candidate.
Prediction 1: Sometime in the next few days, the fake news will release a poll showing the race statistically tied.
Prediction 2: Smith will win by double digits.
The real problem in MS is BossHog Barbour, part of the Cheap Labor GOPe who sabotaged the conservative MsDaniel in favor of the ailing Thad Cochran who had to give up the job. The woman appointed to fill his seat was a Democrat until Democrats had trouble winning in MS. No wonder conservatives are not enthusiastic about her.
Ever wonder why the GOP lost in states like California, Wisconsin, etc etc by allowing the media to drive the issues? In too many of those GOP campaigns vote suppression is a “NO NO”. When conservatives factually point out political positions and the results their socialist opponents are taking right away they’re accused of (and should be achieving) “suppressing the vote” . Right now many of those quality losing candidates should be bringing “The DON’T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR”, as what the media calls a meme, back what it’s costing voters issues that should have been such issues for 2018
Why doesn’t MS change the way they vote for elections. Why not have primaries where only Republicans participate and where only Democrats participate.
Yes, as usual the ‘purists’ would rather the Democrat win to get back at the ‘establishment’, even though we need every GOP Senator to accomplish Trump’s agenda.
