McDaniel didn’t concede.
Well, it’s done. Cochran retires in eighteen months...the governor picks the insider with no reputation...and things just keep going on. I think if I were a Tea Party individual in Mississippi....I’d remember this and put myself into the middle of mess on every single occasion. The only way that Cochran won...was by getting Democrats into the primary...so I’d make them sweat this out on every single race possible.
Unbelievably, it seems the mainstream media narrative will be that this was some great victory for the GOP establishment, and a crippling defeat for the tea party and conservatives. Here you have a sitting Senator who has been in the seat for 36 years and barely squeaks out a win.
Cochran did not win the Republican vote. It’s a hollow victory because McDaniel actually won the Republican vote, should have won the primary if it had been fair.
And those horrible phone calls should go viral, this is how these power-crazed liberals win. I think power-crazed liberals should be our new mantra to counter “right-wing extremist”
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?
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.
