Cindy Hyde-Smith won because she’s run-of-the-mill: a white person ignorant of the blood in the soil – and for most voters, that’s forgivable
“The past is never dead,” William Faulkner, the great American novelist, once wrote. “It’s not even past.”
Faulkner’s home state of Mississippi, more than a half-century after his death, proved his point again on Tuesday night. Cindy Hyde-Smith, the Republican senator, prevailed in a heated runoff over his African-American opponent, Democrat Mike Espy . Hyde-Smith cements the Republicans’ 53-47 hold on the Senate, an important bulwark for conservatives against what was otherwise a blue wave.
Hyde-Smith won because there are far too many Republicans who support Donald Trump in the state of Mississippi and too few who could dare to choose a Democrat. Trump carried the state by 18 points. A Democrat has not won Mississippi since 1976.
..Absent all of that, Democrats will enter 2020 with a decent chance to take down Trump while facing a map that still poses serious challenges. Most gratifying for the right, Trump has another two years to ram through federal judges who need Senate approval.
He has already picked two supreme court justices. It’s not impossible to imagine he may even have a shot at another.
That’s democracy in America today – a contorted system that no longer reflects the will of the voters who endure its brutal consequences.

Morons. The U.S.A. is not a democracy, it is a republic. The media and politicians don't seem to understand the difference.
“I’m a racist..he’s a racist..she’s a racist..we’re all racist....wouldn’t you like to be a racist too...”
The lame stream media is fueling a fire that will burn out quickly when the firing starts... and it will start as soon as RBG is on ice.
Re the House, 40 Rino Republicans retired yet the Dems only gained 38 seats in the House. Since those Republicans were working hand in hand with the Democrats to take Trump down, it looks like a net gain of 2 staunch conservatives! Wait ‘til 2020, especially if there is a much needed broad investigation into voter fraud and lots of guilty fraudulent voters in jail and illegal alien voters summarily deported.
I suppose they realize at some level that she resembles Hillary a bit...
They’re trying to get sh*t stirred up in Hoover/B’ham as well after a cop killed a black man...and investigation is ongoing.
No, we triumphed over sexism.
Sorry Democrats, your Race card has Expired. Obama used it all up.
They spin a wheel with options like “Russia”, “rasicm”, “white dumb people”, “woman who fear their husbands”, “patriarchy”. This time it landed on racism.
The leftist media (let’s stop calling then the main stream media) is our enemy.
JoMa
Not only do the stinking Brits at the Guardian try to Nazify her with a Sieg Heil salute (did the Nazis salute with fingers spread?) but they inject the words “blood” and “soil” as in “Blut und Erde”, a standard Nazi theme.
Word from our sponsor: google “American gun culture” and articles from the UK Guardian will pop up. Go to the comments; Brits are filled with hate for gun owners here. There’s not a d@mn thing they can do about it, which makes for even more fun reading.
Enjoy your Muslims, mate!
Not only all that, the morning guy on radio a couple days ago, Chris Plante, kept bashing how the Dem was supporting modern slavery in Africa, defending a war criminal, (can’t remember his name now)...
Can you imagine trying to extend the life of an outfit that would print this sort of screed by Ross Barkan? I don't know what else he has done, but anyone who would allow his name to be used on something like this is incapable of ever completing an actual thought.
This is tied for the stupidest things that came out of the Kavannaugh hearings.
True Dat!
A waste of time responding to The Guardian Blabber......Here is the score card:
- Andrew Gillum - Florida Governor Candidate - He lost!!!
- Stacey Abramns - Georgia Governor Candidate - She lost!!!
- Mike Espy - Mississippi Senate candidate = He lost!!!
Even with massive voting fraud & cheating, all these Democrats still lost their election objective. Game over!!!
Any author who starts out ANY article by praising William Faulkner clearly doesn’t understand America’s Heartland. Faulkner is the worst author I have ever been forced to read. He was a mandatory author in my college in the 60s and was incomprehensible. He used no capitalization, no punctuation, and rambled from topic to topic without interruption. Real people don’t write that way, and real people, thankfully, don’t vote like the author would wish, as well.
