Yes, they went too far.
Normally, come November I'll hold my nose and vote for the RINO figuring they're still better than Democrats.
Not anymore. What Cochran did (with the support of his party) was underhanded and sleazy. He deserves to lose, McConnell deserves to lose and the Dems can keep and make gains in the Senate as far as I'm concerned.
The GOP played every card they had to defy their base and there need to be consequences. Actively courting black Democrat voters to win a runoff against the leading and more conservative candidate was the final straw.
I've nothing but contempt right now.
They deserve to lose, but think of the consequences. Unless we get the Senate, Reid will stay in and I doubt that our country will even make it intact to 2016.
I think there should be a major stink, accompanied by legal challenges, because this went way beyond the usual Republican on Republican viciousness. GOP candidates never attack the Dem - they’re sweet as pie to the Dem, even those candidates who are theoretically “conservative” - but they always go after each other with no holds barred.
That’s got to stop, but we’ve got to get a numerical majority in the Senate and keep the House. It’s all a numbers game.
