JACKSON, Mississippi — State Sen. Chris McDaniel told Breitbart News Sunday host Stephen K. Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, that “courage” is needed in Washington to fight the national debt and change the direction of the country.

“I think Mississippians understand the significance of it,” McDaniel said when Bannon asked why he’s made the national debt—and unfunded liabilities of it—a major focus of his campaign.

McDaniel added:

I have two kids; I’ve got a two-year-old and a seven-year-old. My dream has always been to leave them a better country than the one I inherited. Based on those numbers, it’s fairly clear that’s not going to happen. At some point, the adults have to enter the room, and we have to start making tough decisions about the future of this country, and I, for one, am tired of kicking the can down the road. Some cuts to spending have to take place, and Mississippi is a good place to lead that charge because we still are the most conservative state in the Republic. That message is resonating, people are ready to change, and that’s why we’re going to win on June 3.

Bannon noted that with the exception of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) when he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2012, McDaniel is the only candidate he’s ever heard who actually understands—and can articulate—the threat of the national debt to the nation’s security and future:

Maybe other than Ted Cruz when he ran, I have never seen a candidate really address what terrible shape the balance sheet of the United States government is, and you are the only challenger I’ve ever heard that talks about the $100 trillion, $150 trillion, or $200 trillion of unfunded liabilities that the United States is

Let's get 'er done in the Magnolia State. Let's make a difference for the Republic.

DC needs the courage to comply with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers which “leaders” have sworn to protect and defend.

Best wishes for a McDaniel win in the Mississippi primary. This is what he has to do....stay on message and be a stong, convincing, and compelling voice for the conservative message.

We need a Contract with America and a collective will to simply do what’s right.

Let's get this straight. Thad has been shacking up with his secretary for almost ten years, gave her a significant amount of pay and perks and has his wife in a nursing home in Mississippi. Thad would make Bill Clinton look like a faithful man. McDaniel has some loony supporters take a picture of the wife in a nursing home and McDaniel doesn't cry foul soon enough and he's morally corrupt even though Cochran's camp had the information for almost three weeks? No wonder our country is going down the sewer.

McDaniel has Cochran so scared that he’s willing to attack himself to create sympathy.
