McDaniel voters still not sold on Hyde-Smith. Here's why.
The Resurgent ^ | 11/20/2018 | Resurgent Insider

For the uninitiated, a lot of McDaniel fans feel they got screwed in former Sen. Thad Cochran’s re-election, when the Cochran-Barbour machine in Mississippi worked every conceivable angle to deprive McDaniel—who is regarded as a stauncher conservative but also was accused of racism and may even have appealed to some Mississippi voters as a result of it—of a win.

Subsequently, that same machine let a short time pass, Cochran exited the US Senate, and Hyde-Smith—a former Democrat who also has the backing of the same Mississippi GOP establishment—took his place.

[...]

Not only did Hyde-Smith used to be a Democrat; like her Democratic opponent, she reportedly has some big Clintonworld connections. He was a Cabinet secretary for Bill, by far the more Southerner-friendly of the pair. She, by contrast, has been reported by a McDaniel-friendly publication to have been in business with one “Umesh Sanjanwala, the father of a Hillary Clinton consultant.” (Fun tidbit: The business reportedly used a URL previously used by an occult-oriented firm that offered “services for communicating with the dead”; if you believe this report, Hyde-Smith may have been planning to use it for an online ministry).

The same report also indicates that as a lobbyist, Hyde-Smith worked for the National Coalition on Health Care, which has some pretty lefty members and is supportive of Obamacare—likely a deal-breaker for hardcore McDaniel fans.

The rumor among McDaniel folks is that Hyde-Smith voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary, a rumor that is basically reported as fact by this same pro-McDaniel outlet, and one that hasn’t exactly been put to bed by Hyde-Smith and her own comments on the topic.

You remind me of guys who were fighting the Commies, and they spent their time complaining about the chow. They forgot who was the enemy. Stupid is as stupid does.

It’s really not about Smith. It’s about protecting us against a Romney-Collins-Myrrhcowski troika sabotaging judicial picks and otherwise gumming up the works.
If Smith wins, that troika would have no power. If Smith loses, they will be constantly screwing us over.

Whatever you did for the McDaniel campaign failed. Sorry, buddy. It was a failure and we’re not waiting another 2 years for your candidate while a Schumer lackey has that seat and helps block judicial nominations. Whatever you did for McDaniels failed and isn’t worth a 2-year wait.

Question is whether the GOPe is being hurt or those that will wind up under the judges approved by a Democrat controlled Senate. I state cutting off one’s hand to spite its face is not a wise choice in the long run.

But what do we do about the backstabbing? Is there any other way for us to hurt the backstabbers and make them stop backstabbing?

Yes, in primaries. The best way is be active in local party activities and get our people elected to regional and state offices. It starts at local level. We do a bad job in most states of turning out for local party activities.

100% correct. Also because the Barbours and the MS GOP machine that kept Cochran in hate him.
