Trump’s endorsements of swamp dwelling Bush League Republicans hell bent on amnesty MUST be ignored.
If we are to Make America Great Again, we need new Senators.

The ones we have almost all side with illegal aliens and their employers.
We currently have 4 on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.

I totally support McDaniel!! GOPe paid 6000 blacks to cross over from the Democrat primary to vote in the Republican primary to put their Thad Cockran in office after McDannial beat him in the first primary. McDaniel scares them to death.I am sure they will trot out his very first date from 45b years ago and allege fondling. Trump keeps gun grabbing and his endorsement won’t mean squat.

This is BULL.

McDaniel was robbed. We don’t forget.

Remember Mississippi 2014.

I hope Chris can prevail, but the odds against him are overwhelming in MS, where incumbency has long been worshiped.

You watch. McTurtle & co. will spend *millions* against McDaniel. And the swamp’s defenders in this forum will tell us that he lost to a D because he was “unelectable”. So sick of GOPe

Given that McDaniel won the primary against Thad the Barnyard Cad with LEGITIMATE voters, I’d say that claim can’t be made across the board.

Although not as bad as the creepy cad, Wicker has been almost invisible as a Senator since he took over from Trent Lott 11 years ago. A far cry from Lott, Stennis and Eastland. A mediocre 72% Conservative rating from the ACU in 2016 (the last year they did their ratings), he’s been gradually drifting leftward (75% in 2015).

The damnocrats come to Mississippi, with their radical – in other words nominal islam, pigastinianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, transgenderism and every other form of sexual perversion, outright rape, communism, RINOism, atheism and other denial of God nonsense, criminal behavior of all types, black inadequacy, la raza, every other form of maladjusted minority status, bribery, murder, thievery....

Anyone who would vote for one of this creeps belongs in the categories above.

The Bush League Republicans always kneecap the GOP nominee if it isn’t one of theirs.

Absolutely correct. We will never pass significant border control and sovereignty legislation until more conservatives are elected to the Senate. Wicker is a Big Government, McConnell Boot Licking Republican who is sold out to the Chamber of Corruption.

Support Chris McDaniel!

The sad part of all this is that the RNC and affiliated organizations have loads of money from wealthy donors to throw at the GOPe candidate. We really need a good ground game for our conservative candidates to make up for some of that.

It really bothers me that at such a critical time, R turnout has not been very good.

“Trump is a HORRIBLE judge of character.”

I think the truth of the matter is he’s simply trying to get whatever mileage he can with Bitch in doing this.

R turnout has not been good BECAUSE we are FED UP with our own DAMNED SIDE fighting OUR POTUS, and WE ALL KNOW that if it were up to OUR SIDE they preferred HELLARY as POTUS!!! MANY, MANY of us are just disgusted at how hard WE fought to get our guy in ONLY TO FIND that our side is REALLY just Dem lite!!! Trump has honestly turned out to be more conservative than we had EVER hoped for and the BASTARDS on our own side wouldn’t even overturn OCARE!!!! Can you blame folks for not voting they HAVE both houses AND POTUS and they fight OUR POTUS every damned step of the way!!!!

I agree with you, but I am talking about the candidates who support Trump, like Moore of AL. What good does it do to sit home for the primary (or the special) if it means that we are going to end up with EVEN MORE never-Trumpers?

Do we want to replace Wicker with McDaniel?

We’ve got to keep trying.

I see the concern trolls have been fed enough red meat with the “Oh noze! What if this or that happens?” crap to keep them happily bitching for another month or so....If only we had Hillary looking out for our interests at this period in time....
