“Mark Levin had a proposal: that each cycle Conservatives should identify one Senator to target for defeat in the general election by staying home or voting for the Democrat.
But only one, not enough to swing control of the Senate but enough to send a strong message about keeping to Conservative principles and that the Conservative base can organize.”

More genius from Levin. He is truly a national treasure.
What Cochrane and Barbour did is truly despicable, and worthy of being Levin’s target. The problem is that we just may need EVERY seat, including Cochrane’s. Getting Cochrane out would be a Pyrrhic victory, however, if we did not gain control of the Senate.
Let’s get the majority and let Ted Cruz sort it out. Can the Senate vote to censure Cochrane after the election? Perhaps even impeach him?
I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn, its pretty cheap.
So, per the Constitution (Art.1, Sec.5 I think) the two Congressional houses are the final arbiters of the elections of their members.
In theory that means that the Senate could refuse to recognize the MS election results and refuse to seat Cochrane. It takes a simple majority.
But I don’t see that happening, couldn’t even see Cruz or Lee or Paul or Sessions supporting it.
