Yeah, I just wish there was a way to make it patently obvious that ticked off Conservatives were responsible.
Having Childers win by (say) 10,000 votes and having 50,000 or 100,000 or some other very large number marked with an invalid write in for McDaniels would be an excellent message. But it’s not worth spoling down-ballot candidates.
I saw an article today that said Cochran support among conservatives was very low (not surprising).
There’s only one way, really, to show the base’s fury, and that’s to take it public. Very public. And when a solution is found regarding Cochran, to get conservatives behind it so the message is crystal clear.
