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