Can you imagine what the tremendous cost would be if the Tea party wasn’t dead?
I saw the GOPe win in Mississippi as a “scorched earth” win. It was a term used by IBM salesmen back when I worked with those guys. It was a sales term. When a salesman pulled out all the stops and did whatever was necessary to make a particular sale, burning bridges in the process, they called it a “scorched earth” sale.
It helps in the short term but screws your future.
NPR interviewed a voter that had vothed for Cochran and she was clearly one of “Holder’s people”. She said she voted democrat her entire life and this was the first time she ever voted Republican. She said that the thought he would work harder for what is best for Mississippi.
This thing was probably a win for conservatives - in the long run.
‘Those victories, however, have come at a staggering cost — and Republicans are painfully aware of the price of putting down an intraparty insurrection.’
Where is the evidence of that? The GOPe leadership doesn’t appear to be the least bit aware of what their victories have cost them. They just notch up a win & go into gloat mode, without a clue of the real cost they are incurring.
Thad Cochran's opponent in November is a pro-life, pro-gun Democrat. He has an A+ rating from the NRA and an award from the National Right to Life organization for his commitment to the pro-life cause.
Those are the number one and number 2 issues that I demand from a candidate.
I could actually, in good conscience, vote for the Democrat in the Mississippi Senate race.
I would not vote for Thad Cochran to be the water taster at a sewage treatment plant.
And it’s about to get more expensive for the GOP Establishment in Mississippi as Chris McDaniel prepares legal challenges against Turd Cochran’s bogus runoff “victory”.
And despite what the Politico wants everyone to believe about GOP Establishment “crushing” the Tea Party, there WILL be more Tea Party members elected to Congress this November. Bank on it.
Maybe the Tea Party will finally wake up and realize that the GOP is not their friend.

Actually, I would!
Conservatives need to follow Lisa Murkowski's lead and target certain prominent RINOS with write-in campaigns in their general.
We've got absolutely nothing to lose.
The price to the GOPe will be greater when the Article V. Process throws these thieves out of office.

Yes, but it’s for all the marbles.
The Uniparty sees the a path to the end zone — and intends to kill the American republic once and for all.
“They should be worrying about whether anyone is going to show up at the polls in November.”
They should also be worrying about whether anyone is going to volunteer for their campaigns.
The Republicans and Democrats can split the tab
I hear ya. I would never vote for a Democrat though. The Rat party wouldn’t allow a conservative in there unless it was a trick.
What's his name?
I could vote for that, and I could especially do it to punish the threachery Cochran and crew hit Chris McDaniel with. He's still busy pulling knives out of his back.
I could campaign for that.
RE: Thad Cochran’s opponent in November is a pro-life, pro-gun Democrat.
What are his stances on Taxes and Obamacare?
“I will not vote for any establishment Republican.”
If the establishment GOP doesn’t come around before then, 2016 will be its last hurrah—they go the way of the Whigs.
And you don’t have to be a history major to recall what happened not long after the Whigs were replaced by the GOP. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
But no more `JEBs’, no more Christies or Bloombergs, and no more McCains, Boehners, McConnells, Grahams or Romneys.
There are things that gnaw at a man worse than being under the heel of his enemies, and that’s suffering because of betrayal by his `friends.’
Apparently it is to go to the courts in a lawsuit rather than fight the ongoing tyranny with the powers the Constitution gives them. That way they can put off any hard or "unpopular" decisions for another 3 or 4 years while the lawyers duke it out. And then they can do it again, ad infinitum.
In other words, they have no governing agenda except keeping themselves in a paycheck and somehow sucking off the taxpayers by staying in the Washington power arena as co-conspirators.
The leadership and their rich consultants are a bunch of scum sucking weaklings who have found they like the game just as it is.
Then do it or better yet, write in McDaniel. Don’t reward Cochran and his cronies.
They’re lost more than just money too, a LOT more...
