John McCain: Cochran's Tactics against Tea Party in MS Worth Emulating
breitbart.com ^ | 6/30/14 | Awr Hawkins

One week after traveling to Mississippi to do his utmost to help Senator Thad Cochran (R) beat Tea Party rival Chris McDaniel, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) talked about the strengths he saw in Cochran's approach to campaigning.

According to AZ Central, McCain dismissed criticism over the tactics the Republican Establishment used to get black Democrats to cross over and vote for Cochran.

Said McCain, "There are some people complaining that African-American voters voted. [But] I thought one of the major priorities of the Republican Party was to get all minority and ethnic voters out to vote for Republicans."

He described Cochran's "get-out-the-vote campaign" as "excellent," then talked about how he will face similar circumstances in Arizona and needs to work equally as hard if he runs again. "The key is you'd better pay attention, you'd better work hard, you'd better organize." He added, "And you'd better understand that there's a strong anti-Washington/anti-incumbency sentiment out there, which is justified and you've got your work cut out for you."

Conservatives need to line up a Republican for McCain’s seat in 2016. Linsey Graham admitted he worked for two years to keep his seat, donations, organization, and promotion.

If we can find someone who can be totally vetted and a fire in their belly, they can get help nationally to beat McCain.

I really think so. The end days have to come some time, no reason that time couldn’t be starting now.

Can we get Sheriff Joe Arpaio to challenge McCain in his next primary.

Sheriff Arpaio is REAL maverick.

If we get him, let’s start raising election funds ASAP!

More of the 'he got out the vote' swill.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Can't really expect them to say 'he encouraged people to commit voter fraud'

We can't even organize to help McDaniel beat blatant voter fraud. Who do you think is going to put together your glorious "third party".

I'm disappointed in the lack of support for Chris, should have made headlines with email and donations. Like I said, if we can't even join this fight, make a difference here, then 3rd party is a fantasy.

I went to a cometary recently. I saw a lot of people there (in not very good condition, however) I wish McCain would emulate!

Well holding your nose and voting for the “lesser of two evils” isn’t working either, or haven’t you noticed.

McCain was very proud of the Dems and Indies that voted for him in several 2008 open primaries and abandoned him in the general. Yeah, let’s emulate that.

Yeap he is indeed an Idiot. Of course Johnny B McLiberal waved the surrender to Obama flag long before the General Election was held.

Sorry, but in a way he’s right. Why didn’t Mcdaniel do the same thing?
