Senator Refuses to Debate Opponent

Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss) continues to decline invitations to debate his Republican primary opponent Chris McDaniel on the grounds that “this is a race for the United States Senate, not a debating society.”

“The voters of Mississippi have had 40 years to get to know my views,” Cochran pointed out. “I don’t see how a few hours of debate at this late date could provide a significant augmentation of what I’ve said and done in my service to the citizens of this fine state over this lengthy period.”

“By appearing on the same platform with my less-experienced challenger I would be elevating his stature—making him seem a viable alternative,” the Senator observed. “Why should I do that? LBJ didn’t debate Goldwater in the 1964 election and he went on to crush him winning more than 60% of the vote. I’m the sitting senator. McDaniel is the naif crying for attention. I think this contrast alone is enough to give voters a clear idea of who they should want as their senator.”

LOL----good one---I start laughing when I click on the post.

Cochran recently screwed-up bigtime---in an interview at a campaign stop, the befuddled, over-the-hill Cochran accidentally called the Obamacare debacle “an example of an important effort by the federal government to help make health care available, accessible and affordable.” “I’m glad to be involved in that effort,” Cochran added enthusiastically.......

Mmmm.....now might be a good time to spread the word that Obama is coming down to campaign for Cochran.

ROTFLOL.

The latest RealClearPolitics summary has this race as a dead heat:

Cochran has thrown every dirty trick he can find at McDaniel and it looks like the voters are not buying it.

It is time for the old fossil Cochran to go.

Chief State Dept Mental Defective, Jen Psaki, defended herself
from being openly mocked by reporters for arguing that
President Obama “doesn’t give himself enough credit” for
his foreign policy triumphs... and not being able to name one.

"Jeepers, it's hard to think up stuff when you're having a bad hair day."

I know this is semi-satire but the facts are true. I have heard Cochran has Alzheimer’s and a debate would establish that fact in the minds of voters.

It's clear that Cochran is well into his dotage, is not all there mentally, and is being run as a sock puppet by his staff. Meanwhile, his staff is fully infiltrated by statist/leftist tools so, while MS may think they have a GOP senator, in actual fact he is just a 'Rat in camoflage.

So CochRan thinks they don't have debates in the Senate. Maybe he sleeps through them.
