Cochran has committed the unpardonable. He needs to lose even at the cost of a Republican seat. He needs to be made an object lesson that using the worst of the sleazy Democrat strategies and becoming the enemy makes him radioactive.
And so does Mitch McConnell. With friends like these, who needs Barbara Boxer.
I think he will lose. Those Black and Democrat voters will not vote for him in the general election, and neither will a lot of conservatives.
