Battling for his political survival, six-term Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran narrowly edged out challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel for the win in a tight Republican runoff race that was too close to call for much of the night.

How many of Thad’s four-legged paramours voted?

I read over at Breitbart that the McDaniel campaign is eying a legal challenge. I hope so and I hope that he runs as an I in November.

He may have the energy for it, but he will not get any of the GOP-e money for it. So how sweet would it be to win like Brat won in VA, outfunded exponentially and connecting with people ala grassroots campaign.

Cochran did not win.

I’m confident that after a serious challenge and recount, McDaniel will come out on top.

There is no way Cochran won this thing legitimately.

That accounts for his entire victory. Latinos are notoriously low voters. Blacks are also very low voters. I don’t believe a robocall motivated any new voters. Were there any independent poll watchers in these precincts?

I hope all true conservatives in Mississippi either don’t vote that position in the fall or go ahead and vote Thad out

Take a look at how the Dems split the vote and elected Lincoln. That’s a formula for turning the country over to Democrats. Let’s lick our wounds and keep winning in the House and State elections. If every FReeper would run for a local race - school board, municipal, library, judgeships we’d change the nation faster.

We’re trying to undo a century of Progressivism and the patient likes it. This isn’t going to be easy or won quickly. We have to dominate the thoughtspace and Millenials are winnable.

I will not be voting Cochran. This is more than politics. I could never vote for such a slimy sleazy traitorous scumball.

Damn. Just Damn.
If I still lived in Mississippi, I would vote in November for the Democrat, Travis Childers. He is more conservative than Cochran and unlike Cochran, he actually lives in Mississippi. In fact I think I will send him a small donation.
I am so sick of Career Politicians, I could just scream.
No more, I will never vote for any politician that has been in any office 2 or more terms. Any office. Any politician. Any party.

Not only did he beg for Rat votes, he played the race card to turn them out. It is SICKENING! I would NEVER vote for Cochran if I lived in MS.

I’ll never vote for a rat, not as a strategy, certainly not out of spite. Neither will I vote for the lying two-faced scumbucket Cochran.

We need to remember that time is on our side.

I must respectfully disagree. Every day, there are more takers, and less producers. The takers will vote Democrat.

Every day, more illegals enter the country. Some day, they will get citizenship. They will vote Democrat.

Perhaps as time goes on, the GOPe will lose influence in the Republican party, and the tea party will gain influence. But it will not matter. The Republican party will go the way of the Whigs.

Sorry to be so pessimistic.

It was STREET MONEY.

They go out with bags of cash and get the black preachers to fire up the church bus. I’ve seen them literally hand out chicken dinners and $20 bills to people.

This is how the game is played and the RINO establishment funded it to retain power.

That is what decided the election here.

REPUBLICANS voted for the conservative.

Crossover crooked Dems stole the election.

THAT is the headline.

If he needed ‘rat support, he’s a Republicrat.
No more support from conservatives for dirty rats!

Thad is the sign at how far the establishment must go to hold on to power when those fed up with an outlaw unconstitutional entrenched gangster government organize and get involved.

I have set aside all my vacation time in 2016 for Ted Cruz....no I am not kidding.

You are unfortunately correct, IMO. This does it for me with the GOP, the Gutless Old Party excecpt, and only except, when they’re facing real conservatives. Them they pull out all the tricks they disdain to use on their “friends on the other side of the aisle”.
