The only difference is that enough conservative senators can have an impact on McConnell over time. They can’t make ANY impact on Harry Reid.
Your kidding right?
what evidence do you have to support your theory??
With Cochran’s diminished mental capacity, he is simply a proxy vote for McConnell, making it harder for conservatives to make an impact. At this point, I would prefer to see McDaniel run as a third party candidate just to see Cochran finish in third place in November.
