Usually, that's the work of the RINOs behind the scenes when they know they can't win, to encourage another conservative and even pad their coffers with donations to challenge another popular conservative and weakening that candidate prior to the General Election to pick them off due to lack of proper funding to buy good ads through the campaign and lose out to the dimocRAT!
Disappointing...I thought Shannon was in a good position to win this.
Maybe he can run again if Inhofe retires.
Understand these Oklahomans are the same ones that are sending Jim Inhofe back to the Senate with 88% (something like 230k votes) just in the primary. If you're going to call Lankford a lib, you've gotta do the same to Inhofe, because that's who Oklahoma is sending to the Senate.
Run Bridenstine in 2016 to at least keep Lankford voting correctly until then.
It doesn’t totally surprise me that the GOPe rigged a win in Mississippi but I admit I didn’t see this one coming. I thought that Shannon had a chance, considering his backing, or would at least make a race of it. But he got crushed.
