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 know why there is always a tame Federal Judge around to give the Leftist anything they want?
Because since 1988 you poltical morons have been telling yourselves “candidate X is not politically pure enough, we would be better off losing then have THEM win”
And so Clinton and Obama get elected with Democrat Senate Majorities and stuff the Judiciary full of these Marxist clowns pretending to be Judges.
The Leftist agenda doesn’t win by Legislation, it been imposed by activist Judges. The ONLY way to stop that is to stuff the Courts full of as many NON Marxist judges as Trump can appoint.
In order for that to happen Trump has got to hold a healthy majority in the US Senate and be able get Judges confirmed.
So get your heads our of your ignorant asses for the 1st time in 30 year or expect to be treated like the poltical traitors you are.
When dirty tactics have put enough holes in you, you are done in politics. It doesn't matter if it's fair. Sometimes the backstabbers win.
Also, don't look at me. I don't live in Mississippi, but if I did, I would have probably changed the result. I know how to fight dirty too, and i'm good at it.
I whipped @$$ in the Senate race in my state. I did so much damage to the Democrat candidate that he sicced the FEC on me. He filed charges against me for interfering in a Federal election.
Still whipped his @$$ though, and he never came back to my state. He chose to remain in Washington DC and become a consultant.
Isn’t it interesting how it’s always the job of grassroots GOP base conservatives to pull the climbing careerist progressive Republicans over the finish line? After having our GOP elite betters “vote for their wives” instead of the GOP nom and MAGA platform WE voted for. They don’t respect our votes but expect party loyalty in return? This won’t end well. Guaranteed.
I met John McCain back in 1994, and I was happy to have met him. Little did I know at the time he would become the sack of sh*t that he became.
Hyde-Smith could never be as bad as McCain, but it's the sort of milquetoast Bush-coalition groups from which the McCain types emerge.
Non-sequitur
Pot, meet kettle.
Truth is not decided by public consensus. Truth exists as truth no matter how many people embrace the lie.
The question here is "Why do you embrace the lie? "
Why do you keep repeating this rape/molestation smear against Roy Moore?
You want to blame someone for the loss, and you want it to be Moore, but accepting media lies about him is not the right thing to do.
Hyde-Smith could never be as bad as McCain, but it’s the sort of milquetoast Bush-coalition groups from which the McCain types emerge.
Bingo. McConnell is a weak Majority Leader who let’s the inmates run the asylum because that’s exactly what those that elect him to that position want.
I live in Mississippi. For all of you that say you don’t care if she wins or that she should lose, ask yourself if you’ll feel the same when Mike Espy is voting against Trump’s next supreme court nominee like Doug Jones did with Kavanaugh. All those that couldn’t stomach Roy Moore handed a safe republican senate seat to the democrats on a platter and those same types are hell bent on doing the same in Mississippi. Just how many senate seats are you willing to hand to democrats over pettiness?
Hyde-Smith shouldn’t have been appointed to replace Cochran but she was so she’s what we’ve got to deal with. McDaniel should have beaten Cochran when he ran against him but the GOPe machine pulled out every dirty trick in the book to defeat him, and it worked. He’s so tainted now that he was a distant third in this election. Hyde-Smith is what we’ve got and we’d better back her, stop rolling over and showing the belly every time the democrats come up with the newest manufactured outrage. I swear that if you could find one person besides Trump in the republican party with a backbone it would double the number.
We got the Kenyanesian Usurper because BOTH parties violated the Constitution.
I’m not OK with that.
You seem to be.
Everyone the media weapon system attacks becomes a useless turd when people embrace media lies.
Brett Kavanaugh almost became another useless turd because the media convinced so many Americans that he was a creepy rapist.
The media is trying to "Moore" Hyde-Smith, because they found this tactic works more often than it fails.
If it weren't for the high probability that Hyde-Smith will be a loyal and reliable member of the Washington DC spending party coalition, the GOP would be attacking her too, just the way they viciously attacked Roy Moore without any proof.
You have that backwards, it’s the same people who refused to support Roy Moore who are now demanding fealty to their Democrat in an R jersey.
Because since 1988 you poltical morons have been telling yourselves “candidate X is not politically pure enough, we would be better off losing then have THEM win”
Bork. Ginsburg. Kennedy. Souter.
How much trouble do we have getting our judges confirmed compared to how much trouble the Democrats have getting their judges confirmed?
Don't our Rinos always go over to the other side and support their judges? Don't our Rinos always fight against supporting any of our more effective nominations?
I don't think it's so much about purity as it is about backstabbing. A lot of us are fed up with getting stabbed in the back by the Uniparty establishment.
I think a lot of us feel the same way, but just want to vent about what we see as a sh*t sandwich being served to us.
The rational thing to do is to vote for this unappealing woman, because it *WILL* advance the conservative agenda if she's elected.
“...just the way they viciously attacked Roy Moore without any proof.”
Well, you may not consider some of the proven allegations about Roy Moore, “proof,” but I do. At the very least, he’s a very “strange” man, with some out of the mainstream ideas. I guess he plays well in the Deep South, but in the rest of the country, not so much. For openers, it’s undeniable that he’s attracted to women who are very young. An adult male doesn’t “date” high school girls. And most men marry women who are approximately their same age. Moore’s wife, as I recall is half his age. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but I do think he is a odd-ball!
I’m glad I’m not you.
well spoken. and by an actual mississippian. people would be smart to take heed from a person who’s boots are on the ground (although I am supremely confident they will not).
the a$$hats in this thread still have their panties in a bunch over roy moore.
What you need to do is cut off your nose to spite your face.
You seem to forget McConnell kept Obama’s last Supreme Court nominee off the court. Does he not get any credit for that? Or for gaining Senate approval for all of the lower court judges?
So either you are the stupidest person on this forum, or you are a Democrat lying about being a conservative
So which are you? Are you just a rabidly ignorant poltical fool or a shamlessly lying fraud?
I live in Mississippi. For all of you that say you don’t care if she wins or that she should lose, ask yourself if you’ll feel the same when Mike Espy is voting against Trump’s next supreme court nominee like Doug Jones did with Kavanaugh. All those that couldn’t stomach Roy Moore handed a safe republican senate seat to the democrats on a platter and those same types are hell bent on doing the same in Mississippi. Just how many senate seats are you willing to hand to democrats over pettiness?
Do Mitch McConnell and Richard Shelby care Doug Jones voted against Kavanaugh? Obviously not. Shelby barnstormed Alabama on election eve to campaign against Roy Moore. I’m no Roy Moore fan but that was dirty pool. Given that, why should I care about MS? Why is party loyalty always a one way street here? Party loyalty for me, nothing in return from the GOPe?
Give the Dems the seat. Espy will certainly vote more often for your positions than Hyde!
Arpaio and Ward voters cost us in Arizona and purists have cost. Us seats especially in 2010 -12 in the Senate. They are the d.emocrats secret weapon.
