Oh, I agree! He should be DEPRIVED of votes! However, I oppose the idea of voting for the Democrat as a way to do that.
Voting for Cochran OR voting for the Democrat, is voting for the enemy.
The only way out of this, whether it's in the Mississippi race or whether it's in the 2016 general, is to leave anger and desire for vengeance (which really is what motivates conservatives to vote Democrat because they're so angry at the GOPe for betraying them) at the door, put it behind, and focus SOLELY on voting FOR people who, if they are elected, will MOVE RIGHT.
Suggestions to "vote for the Democrat to show those Republicans a thing or two!" or "vote for the liberal Republican because it's how to vote 'against' the liberal Democrat" are equally flawed and destined for equally bad consequences.
