Chris McDaniel is running, and he HAS MY VOTE !

GOP showdown: McDaniel expected to challenge Wicker for Senate By ALEX ISENSTADT, 02/26/2018 Mississippi Republican Chris McDaniel is expected to announce later this week that he will wage a 2018 primary challenge against GOP Sen. Roger Wicker, according to two people briefed on his plans. McDaniel, a conservative state senator ... has scheduled a rally on Wednesday afternoon in Ellisville, Miss. McDaniel is slated to hold a Facebook Live event on Monday evening to encourage people to attend the rally. He has recruited two senior Republican strategists, Rick Tyler and John Yob, to assist him. Tyler most recently worked as a spokesman for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign, and was a staffer on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s 2012 White House bid. Yob was a top aide on Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s 2016 presidential campaign. The expected announcement comes ahead of the state’s March 1 filing deadline. ... McDaniel has been preparing for a comeback bid since his narrow 2014 loss. A pro-McDaniel super PAC, Remember Mississippi, has been established. Through the end of 2017, it had around $850,000 on hand and had received checks from GOP mega-donors Richard Uihlein and Robert Mercer. ...

He was acquitted but everyone else involved took it in the neck.

All black jury except for one white (I am sure this person was screened well too).

McDaniel is going for Wicker’s seat - announced a short while before Cochran announced so I think that Cochran may have waited for McDaniel to declare to throw a wrench in the works - will have to see how things go but I’m backing McDaniel....again no matter where he tries.

So I guess we should expect (a) 98 percent black turnout, and (b) 27 year old sex allegations against the R candidate.

Namesake of the Espy Awards, at least as depicted on Mad TV some years ago.

There were three of the charges which he admitted to all of the relevant points, and was still found not guilty.

If this guy is a Clintoneer there are probably multiple scandals around him

In a general election their importing of fraudulent votes won’t work so well as it did in the special election in Alabama.
