Chris McDaniel may have refused to concede the Mississippi Senate primary without a challenge, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) appears to be moving on after the Tea Party suffered primary defeats last night.
“I certainly congratulate my colleague, Thad,” Cruz said on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning, pointing out that the Republican establishment poured millions into the Mississippi race and only won by a thin margin. Cruz reminded the hosts that he did not endorse a candidate in the Mississippi primary, as he promised to stay out of incumbent Senate races.
But Cruz insisted that Cochran’s narrow victory should be a warning for Republicans in Washington, D.C. “I think that demonstrates that there is a lot of hunger for change. People are frustrated with Washington, and they're hungry for leaders who will stand up and make the case we need to go a different path,” Cruz said.

One has to wonder....WHO is REALLY picking these rotten apples?
Is America really this stupid...or has it just thrown in the towel out of apathy/frustration?
“Cochran was voted in as GOP choice.”
lol, no he wasn’t! He lost the Republican primary by the 8 points predicted in the polls, but this wasn’t a Republican primary, this was a Democrat primary, and they got their man. Look at Hinds county.
Death of the Tea Party—Killed by massive abouts of money and the help of the Liberal Progressives. All is lost—the RINOS have won. Ted Cruze will never serve another term. Get ready for Jeb “Obama Clone” Bush as the next president of the USA—who will pardon Obama his first day in office. Its him or Elizabeth Warren. The Machine works to keep the people in Power forever! America is OVER. All that is left is a nation of greedy me firsters—feeding on the remains. Wait til China sees they do not need us anymore and we go into a death sprial of starvation, poverty and riots. A sad day indeed. Maybe in a 100 years we can re-build America—but I don’t think so.
Kudos! ;-)
Haha. Perfect.
And I’m sure he’s not sleeping with his intern either. He probably does sleep in her imaginary basement she doesn’t even have.
Then he should have kept his mouth shut.
Ted-bashers here don’t understand he’s as dejected and disgusted as we are, but he has an actual goal in sight and the calmer his waters, the faster he sails.
Democrats came out in droves to vote for him.
Black Democrats came out in droves due to the prodding of their leaders to vote for him.
bad system in Mississippi
nah, look at the extremes they had to go thru for a 1% win.
Cochran sold his soul for his office.
Let’s stick to the FACTS. ;-)
There are sufficient solid facts to demonstrate Cochran’s inadequacies without jumping into some imaginary cesspool.
The 35,000 Democrat Blacks and union pawns who voted for Cochran would vote for Satan if their Democrat masters told them to do it. They are mindless props for the Big Government bosses who dole out welfare and unemployment checks when Big Government kills jobs. They are too stupid to figure it out.
That’s who Cochran, Rove, and the Chamber of Amnesty are in bed with. What a shame when decent opposition candidates are treated like dirt in the process. But conservatives do not have to go to the polls in Nov. Or they can vote for the down ticket candidates but leave the Senate slot blank. That’s what we intend to do in Texas instead of voting for Cornyn.
Unfortunately, we have open primaries here in Tennessee too. ;-(
But do remember a lot of old white Repukes in Mississippi voted for Cochran, down on the coast, who didn’t really show up last time. Many of these were vets sucked in by the McLame bandwagon. Do they enjoy dying on wait-lists? Becuase Cochran HAS NEVER and WILL NEVER do anything to prevent the VA from murdering more military personnel than the average terrorist.
Yep this November when the Tea Partiers stay home and the Democrat Negroes that voted for Thad in the primary cast their usual vote for the Democrat, then ol’ Thad is sent packing. The RINOs have basically handed Mississippi to the Dems/Communists. Way to go Haley Barbour.
And I’m pretty sure the GOPe put a huge dent in their fundraising. This left a bad taste in all Republican’s mouths.
Why don't you do something about getting rid of YOUR own senator.
At least Ted Crus isn't an idiot and you can't say that about your senator!
I'd say that even if they went to the polls not knowing about that requirement, they wouldn't be motivated to be honest knowing that their trip was for nothing if they told the truth.
That's if they were even asked.
