" ... but reality is that SOME percent is better than ZERO percent ... "
ZERO percent ? ? ?
Have you read
Chris McDaniel's Ratings ?
RINO Cindy Hyde-Smith is going to be a TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT to many.
Read this:
Seven Ways Cindy Hyde-Smith Is Little More Than A Carbon-Copy Of Thad Cochran
# 1. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith claims to be a conservative. She revealed to the public on the day of her appointment that she was a lifelong conservative. Cochran said much the same thing, especially in his battle with Chris McDaniel in 2014.
But their respective voting records tell a far different story.
#2. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith is a former Democrat who switched parties for political opportunities. She voted in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, for either Hillary or Obama in 2008 (I think it was Hillary), and switched parties in late 2010 in order to run statewide in 2011, and didnt vote in a Republican primary until 2011.
Cochran voted for LBJ in 1964 (he said he voted for Nixon in 1968) but didnt switched parties until 1972 in order to run for Congress.
#3. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith votes against plans to balance the budget. Even though both tout themselves as conservatives, both Cochran and Hyde-Smith do not support plans to cut spending and balance the budget.
They both talk the talk but have never walked the walk.
His long career in DC, Cochran was one of the biggest porkers on Capitol Hill and once voted against an amendment to cut one-half of one percent from discretionary spending. >br>Hyde-Smith recently voted against Rand Pauls plan to cut just one percent from the budget over ten years.
#4. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith is rated an F by Conservative Reviews Liberty Score. Cochran was always rated as one of the least conservative members by Conservative Review and other such institutions.
And although Hyde-Smith has only been in the US Senate for a month, shes picking up where Cochran left off.
#5. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith is a supporter of big, bloated farm bills that spend hundreds of billions on food stamps. Cochran authored and pushed through a massive farm bill a few years ago that cost taxpayers three-quarters of a trillion dollars.
Although Hyde-Smith is yet to vote on such a bill, you can bet your last dollar that she will.
#6. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith has the full backing and support of the US Chamber of Commerce. The US Chamber of Commerce is an organization that supports global free trade, open borders and amnesty, government bailouts, bloated spending bills, corporate welfare, and Common Core.
The Chamber spent millions defending Cochran and attacking McDaniel, and they are doing so again on behalf of Hyde-Smith.
#7. Like Cochran, Hyde-Smith has backed out of a candidate forum later this summer, opting to send a spokesman instead. Cochran did exactly the same thing in 2014 against McDaniel.
If she is afraid to debate McDaniel, or to speak to the people of Mississippi, she is unworthy of the Senate seat.
Even though it is very early in her Senate career, and we dont have a lot of votes and bills to consider, we can already see a pattern emerging.
Cochran never introduced any reform bills of significance, except pork-filled spending bills for which he is most known.
There were no Cochran plans to reform entitlements, balance the budget, reshape foreign policy, or reform the way Washington works.
Chris McDaniel has said the first bill he plans to introduce in the US Senate is for a term limits amendment to the Constitution, a much-needed reform on behalf of the peoples interests.
By contrast, Cindy Hyde-Smiths first bill was S. 2942: A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to establish January 31 of each year as the Federal closing date for duck hunting season and to establish special duck hunting days for youths, veterans, and active military personnel, and for other purposes.
No, that is not a joke.
As we can see, Hyde-Smith is showing herself to be a carbon copy of Thad Cochran, not exactly what liberty-loving conservatives wanted to see.
So, the real question for the people of Mississippi this November is simple: Do you want a Cochran Clone in the US Senate for the next twenty years, even though we already have Roger Wicker,
or do you want a real conservative who supports limited government, reduced spending, and has never been a member of the Democratic Party?
The choice is yours.

McDaniel was going to run against Wicker and should have stayed there instead of jumping on the Cochran vacancy..as it is, he's behind Hyde-Smith and she's only 6 points or so over the dem in the race....after we have watched folks dilute candidates and give seats away to dems several epic times, it puzzles me that some think it's a winning strategy.
McDaniel has the same ego as any other politician and he's more concerned with himself than doing Mississippi right in this election.

How has McDaniel been supportive of Trump? Hasn't he disparaged Trump supporters and even some of Trump's agenda?
Does it matter to you that he has acted like he's campaigning against parts of the Trump agenda?

Thanks for the question.
I'm glad you asked.
Here's the answer and some supporting information:
The Facts:
In an attempt to separate Chris from his conservative base and the vast network of Trump supporters, the opposition has made the false claim that he does not support the President.
But in reality, Chris supports President Trump and his America First agenda.
During the 2016 Presidential primaries, Chris supported Texas conservative Senator Ted Cruz, but President Trump was always his second choice.
President Trump supports an America First agenda, putting the needs of the American people before the needs of others.
The agenda includes tougher trade deals and punishment for cheaters like China, a border wall and enforcement of immigration laws, no amnesty under any circumstances, and a more prudent, America First foreign policy.
These are policies Chris has supported his entire life and ran on in 2014.
He was so much in agreement with the agenda that Donald Trump endorsed Chris in his race against Cochran.
Chris has always been very complimentary toward President Trump, even while Cruz was fighting for the GOP nomination.
After it was clear that President Trump would secure the Republican nomination, Chris publicly supported him as the partys nominee.
Primaries are a competitive process and Trump proved to be the strongest candidate which is a good thing because he went on to beat Hillary Clinton.
Lets not forget though that many of the same people who are attacking Chris for not being with Trump in the primary were supporting Governor John Kasich and actively worked to deny Trump the nomination.
Today, Sen. McDaniel supports President Trumps agenda and is eager to get to work helping Trump Make America Great Again as a United States Senator.
Heres a link to many Facebook posts Chris has made in support of President Trump.

Ego, you say ?
What kind of ego refuses to debate her competition in a public debate, and WHY refuse to debate ?
EVERY VOTE FOR R.I.N.O. Cindy Hyde-Smith
IS A VOTE FOR CHUCK SCHUMER !
