Thad Cochran needs to retire

[LibLieSlayer]

The traitor trent “I can be bought” lott now works for the UN as a lobbyist for the TREATY OF THE SEA... which he was against when he had to retain his corrupt office. Wicker is little better... Palazzo is gop/e... they co-opted him his first 2 minutes in DC.

Unfortunately, Thad is a senator-for-life in the mode of James Eastland and John Stennis. The GOP in Mississippi is very conserative—heck, the few remaining conservative Democrats are in the Magnolia State, too.

But the Mississippi Republican Party is also clubby, with an established pecking order. I just don’t see anyone trying to push Thad aside, given his role as an elder statesman and one of the first Republicans elected to public office in the 20th Century.

If someone were smart, they’d fire Dan Jones, the idiot chancellor of the University of Mississippi and replace him with Thad. The job carries enough money and prestige to attract Mr Cochran’s interest; he has the Washington ties that colleges/universities value and he’d be a much better leader than Dan Jones.

As the GOP grows in MS, it is developing a deep and talented bench. But as long as Thad, Roger Wicker and others hang around, there’s no place for them to go.
