I’m not a tin foil hat kind of gal, but I can honestly perceive a plan where Cochran wins, then resigns (health reasons, ya know) and Barbour appoints himself or a place holder until a special election or the next regular election is held. Barbour would then keep control of the state party and be in the driver’s seat to be elected.
Cochran is showing the effects of his age. His errant wandering in the Capitol is pretty alarming.
McDaniel is not only fighting for this election. He’s taking on the whole corrupt, power hungry GOPe establishment in MS. Maybe he doesn’t care if he’s tainted goods and is willing to be a sacrificial lamb if it reveals the true colors of the Cochran/Barbour cabal and levels the playing field for the next real conservative who runs.
Bryant is supposed to appoint Gregg Harper after Thad retires in a couple
Barbour isn’t Governor anymore (Phil Bryant is), but he’s chin-deep in the fraud surrounding this race.

I agree wholeheartedly. McDaniel is fighting a fight that must be fought if this is ever to be stopped. And even if the courts shut him down, he has already done an immeasurable amount of good by shining the light of day on Barbour, McConnell, Cochran, and the rest of these cockroaches.
God bless Chris McDaniel.
