I’m not asking anyone to vote for Cochran... I’m merely asking how splitting the GOP vote in the general results in a win for anyone but the democrat.
What “GOP vote” do you refer to? GOP voters or the progressive GOPe/Dem coalition vote?
To continue party line GOP voting at this point is foolish and a border line abusive relationship. The GOP is broken. Until it is fixed, it really doesn’t matter what the Dems do. A broken GOP will has no interest in being an engaged opposition party. Without an engaged GOP, we have a one party Dem state regardless of who is in the White House.
I don't disagree there... but for years we've talked about the urgency of knocking Harry Reid off his perch in the Senate. As long as we calculate who we hate worse... the likes of Thad Cochran or Reid.
