Ann Coulter calls on Chris McDaniel to give up
Politico ^ | 7/10/14 | Jonathan Topaz

Posted on 07/10/2014 6:38:43 AM PDT by Night Hides Not

Ann Coulter is urging tea party challenger Chris McDaniel to concede in the Mississippi Senate Republican primary.

In an op-ed in the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, the conservative commentator said McDaniel supporters who are fighting to contest the June 24 runoff election results against Sen. Thad Cochran are hurting the GOP — and McDaniel’s own political future.

NEVER GIVE UP! Mercy, giving up is why we are in this mess now! Moderates/ridethefencers are no good anywhere. Don’t turn wishy washy and capitulate!

Ann is a partisan not a conservative, once you understand that and the difference between the two you will understand everything she does and says.

Excellent analysis. If Chris “took his lumps” for future favors from the gop-e he wouldn’t be any better than them, which he is. Ann doesn’t seem to have much use for character or loyalty unless it’s blind loyalty to the rino establishment she embraces. Ann’s a conservative in name only, cino, look at her endorsements.

By buying votes, they nullified the votes of those who voted fair and square. Why have an election if one side has it rigged. To ‘move on’ gives illegal actions the right to win and to do it again and again. Voting used to be a valued right for the public to speak and choose. Not any more!.. and many have lost their confidence in that right to cast a vote.

I thought it was a breath of fresh air to see McDaniel fight this thing!

The courts will ultimately sort this out. I don’t see why that is a bad thing.

Part of Coulter’s reasoning is that she says that not only would McDaniel have to invalidate the number of votes in the winning margin but that he would also have to prove that these votes were Cochran votes. I do not believe this is correct.

Yes let’s follow her advice and just give up against the establishment Republicans, who she supports, that smear Conservatives every chance they get. Why is this woman still even relevant?

Proof that she really doesn’t know what she’s frothing about. I’ve read every article I could find about this issue. I’ve read excerpts from state law. McDaniels does not have to show that the fraudulent votes were Cockroach votes at all; just that there were enough frauddulent votes to invalidate the election. Whatever value Coulter used to have is gone, gone, gone.

I love how it refers to her as a “Conservative commentator” when she’s about herself and the Republican party first.

Coulter is trying to blow the dog whistle but the conservatives are no longer listening. She screwed it up in 2012 with Romney and Christie. The correct play was Cain or Gingrich, but she was more concerned about her position as the crazy aunt in the establishment rather than her commitment to conservatism.

Then again, we knew in 2002 with her nod and wink to the log cabin Republicans, but we refused to believe it.

I understand what she is trying to do, and in some respects she is correct. We need the senate and if it means voting for the incumbent and then investing resources in conservatives for Democrat seats, so be it. Problem is the last two elections where we thought we had conservatives turned out to be a sham.

Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.

Actual conservatives want McDaniel to fight with everything he’s got.

Spineless cowards, idiots and fools want him to give up and let the SOP GOPe which is the other half of the problem of the s*** hole we’re in, keep going.

The only difference between the SOP GOPe and the Dems is that the Dems are at least honest about their intentions.

Fighters like McDaniels who are not beholden or attached to the entrenched corporate political elite class are the only hope for our country.

Guess that explains why Drudge won’t write a story about McDaniel.....

Drudge doesn't write stories. He posts headlines from other publications.

You're right about McDaniel though. Very few headlines about him posted on Drudge.

The credible criminal allegations in Mississippi are extremely serious, as Sen. Cruz observed. For example, something not mentioned on this thread, is Connie Cochran, acting as a County elections commissioner, allegedly instructing poll clerks not to switch pollbooks, thereby enabling voting fraud.

McDaniel has no choice. If McDaniel was to "give up" to obtain a future benefit, as Coulter is recommending, he would be conspiring with Cochran and Barbour to facilitate felonies.

Really? How so??

If the runoff election had been decided by REPUBLICAN voters, then Thad Cochran would’ve easily LOST the race, hands down. But instead of backing a bold, charasmatic, conservative, loyal, lifelong Republican like Chris McDaniel, the GOP establishment instead pulls out all the stops to keep their “good ole boy network” intact by spending millions of dollars to smear the Tea Party and play the race card against McDaniel in order to scare black Democrat voters into voting for a senile old senator with no core principles who’s been in Washington for WAY too long. And let me remind you that it is ILLEGAL according to Mississsippi law for voters who’ve already voted in their own party primary race to cast a vote in another party’s primary race!

Ann Coulter can go to hell for all I care. I’m so sick and tired of that has-been and I hope McDaniel fights this thing until the bitter end!
