That’s really disappointing. I was hoping to capture WV. What’s your analysis of Brannon’s loss? Any hope for a future run there by Brannon?
That should be a general strategy in all these close races. We need to start playing to win and take off our white wigs and ruffled sleeves. Our country and our Constitution are at stake.
These 3rd party candidates just damage the chances of a conservative win and hand the race to a statist. They’re as bad as conservatives who stay home because they cannot get 100% pure candidates.
What’s more dangerous, a true conservative or a dawdling old timer who is oblivious to the issues that thi country faces.
Someone should pull the visitor logs at Thad’s wife’s care center and see how many times he’s actually been there. That whole illegal taping stunt was most likely setup by the establishment....
Its not West Virginia. That is the seat of retiring senator Jay Rockefeller, and establishmentarian Shelley Moore Capito walks into it.
This was North Carolina. He lost because there was a SoCon Huckabee plant, Mark Harris, diluting the vote, and Tillis got propped up with funding BIG TIME from Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell who actively campaigned for him.
I think we’ll see Brannon again, possibly challenging Burr. His district is too blue for a House challenge.
Sometimes they’re the only conservatives running.
Sorry, I’ve been reading so much about these races that they’re blending. Do you think Capito wins in WV? I’ve been hearing that it’s a very competitive race.
You’ve been hearing wrong. Its not at all competitive. Capito faces state SOS, Natalie Tennant who is behind by something like 16 points. Unless you are Joe Manchin, Democrats cannot win in West Virginia anymore. The war on coal has destroyed the state economy, and Obama lost the state by a bigger margin than Mississippi. You’ll recall Obama almost actually lost West Virginia’s primary in 2012 to a convicted felon.
Of all the seats up, SD, WV, and MT are pretty much walks.
Brat needs to help out down in Mississippi.

Excellent idea.
Wow. My parents were friends with Bert and his first wife way back a long time ago before I was even born. I am sure Bert asked some real tough questions. Haha
Thanks for the clarification. What are the chances Joe Manchin switches parties?
Getting higher.
Will conservatives welcome him or cast him back as a RINO?
well said
Thad Cochran has been in Washington for 41 years and has voted for mountains of wasteful spending and debt. Chris McDaniel is a constitutional conservative who will change Washington.

When I saw this I was taken back at first then I remembered “who” is charge of practically every city and county Govt in the state and it is really not that surprising.
