I knew the minute I got that offensive robocall the Friday before the runoff we were looking at a democrat sinator from MS for the first time in decades.
You can’t call your PRIMARY opponent’s supporters (whose votes you’ll need in November!) a bunch of KKKlansmen if they think $17T is unsustainable and expect them to vote for you in the general...
This sort of rhetoric happens in the GENERAL election. Because if you win you don’t NEED the other guys supporters to support you...
And the name calling and general insults haven’t let up since last Tuesday night. McD supporters already think the other guy cheated with voters who had no legal business voting in the pubbie primary runoff (having already voted in the dim one), but calling them nasty names will NOT make that any better...
The GOP thinks they can be Dems/use Dem tactics like the Dems can and win with it.
They can’t. They are stupid. Dems are truly evil. Although the GOP is working hard at becoming truly evil, they are just stupid. Ergo, they fail.
They need to have any remaining power stripped from them before they learn to be truly evil instead of ‘lesser evil’.
The important thing now is to unify behind the candidate who won (we may not entirely appreciate the way Cochran won, but that’s life) so that the Democratic Party doesn’t control the next Senate session.
