".....McDaniel will unveil the challenge during a Monday afternoon press conference, his campaign confirmed to The Hill, which was announced to reporters last week and teased as an opportunity for McDaniel to announce a major development regarding the results of the June 24 runoff election.
Cochran won the fierce primary fight in the runoff, finishing with a 7,667-vote lead when the results were certified, unanimously, by the Mississippi GOP executive committee over a month ago.
McDaniel has yet to concede, however, and hes accused Cochrans team of stealing the election, in part by courting African American Democrats to head to the polls for the senator in the runoff. He and his supporters have spent the subsequent weeks poring over poll books, looking for irregular votes. They claim theyve found over 8,300 irregular votes more than enough, they believe, to challenge the runoff results in court and successfully win a special election re-do of the race....."
Dang, when Trent Lott is the voice of wisdom for the estabs, you know the establishment is clueless ...
If these guys think we are going to forget this they have another think coming.
Lott says this AFTER his buddy Thad Cochran is renominated.
And Noah faced a little bit of precipitation.
One of the things I hate is when rinos call us purist. They don’t realize being pure is good. Here’s a list of who they are and want us to be. Pick your favorite in response to what they consider an insult. I’m happy to admit who I am.

So basically, The Hill was looking to print a “Republicans are in Disarray” story with a Mississippi angle to it so they dug up that old crony capitalist lobbyist Lott for some content quotes. You know that is the only reason they are talking to him.
Go away, Trent. I’ve really been enjoying your being out of the limelight. Why ruin a good thing?
McDaniel and his allies have accused Cochran of stealing the nomination, in part
by courting African-American Democrats to turn out for the senator.

I keep seeing this attribution about ‘turning out for the senator’. Why didn’t
McDaniel make an attempt to ‘turn out these voters for his campaign? Does he not
consider them a part fo the Mississippi voting constituency?

Trent Lott on Ted Cruz: Cut his legs out from under him
Im of two minds, Lott said. Id like to be in the arena and help work something out. But its gotten too nasty and too mean these days. I couldnt work with these guys.
Theyve made their point, Lott huffed. Its time to say enough and move on. Referring to the die-hard tea partiers in the House Republican caucus, he added, These new guys dont care about making things work. Lott noted that in the mid-1990s, he warned then-Speaker Newt Gingrich not to force a government shutdown. I knew it wouldnt be good for us, he said.
I asked Lott if his old GOP pals still serving in the Senate have lost control of their party. How do they feel about that? I inquired. Lott shook his head: That Ted Cruz. They have to teach him something or cut his legs out from under him.
Fixed it.
Would this be the same establishment RINO Trent Lott who voted against convicting Bill Clinton when the impeachment reached the Senate?
Zero credibility, Mr. Lott. Zero credibility.
Notice that Lott is yet another pol who does not reside in the state he represented after he leaves office but instead remains around the District of Corruption.
This article is wrong. McDaniel hasn’t been “pouring over poll boiks” because Thad Cochrans relatives and friends are in charge in MS and they won’t turn over the poll books. MS is obviously as corrupt as IL, and that’s no compliment.
Cochran deserves to lose because he cheated.
Phil Bryant has been complacent in all of this and I hope he is primaried and removed next election.

What Trent doesn't seem to understand is that Tea Partiers are not challenging the GOP for being willing to make a deal, from time to time. We're challenging the GOP because they have made it a HABIT! The GOP no longer stands against Democrat ideas; they are incorporating them into their actions on a daily basis. As a result, their 'willingness to compromise' has created the economic problems we've experienced in the past 10 years, and put this country into the worst debt position in our history.
THESE are the main reasons the Tea Party has worked so hard against both Democrats and Republicans, but mainly Repubs. because they are SUPPOSED to be the party of smaller, less intrusive government, and they've let that slide for far too long.
