I think he might be missing a chromosome or maybe this guy is the missing link scientists have been looking for.

Why do they keep saying Cochran won? He didn’t. McDaniel needs to hang in there no matter what.

Just think...we have folks who identify themselves as “Conservative” who still insist folks vote for Cochran, and, not for another candidate

The liberals are cheerleading Cochran victory

Yes, reaching across the aisle to call members of your own party a bunch of racists.

Why do they keep saying Cochran won?

Because the GOP and Democrats all use the same tactics. Overwhelm the little guy fighting for truth by agreeing in public that he's insignificant, has no standing, is fighting when the battle was already won. All they want is that "Republican" seat hopefully without having to spend another dime.

I pray that McDaniel won't fall for it. It's not a Republican seat if Cochran's in it, it's a sham. Not only that but conservatives will have effectively been swept under the rug if they beat Chris.

Please hang in there, Chris.

I would really like to drop this guy off in Hinds county, MS after dark. A county that voted for “Mr. reach across the aisle”, with nothing but an I-phone and a .357 just to see which one gets the most use.

Why? Is there something scary about Hinds County at night? I was never scared there even in the worst areas. I was scared driving down country roads in Neshoba County when I was a young girl. I didn’t even know the history there either. I just thought it was creepy.

Haven’t you heard? Minorities have an official right to illegally vote

Soliciting Democrats to decide a GOP primary. Makes sense to me. /sarcasm

Sorry to use Hinds Co. as a whipping post, so I’ll use my home County as example.

Mobile Co., AL instead.

Watch out for the areas NE of town. Especially after dark. By the way, they don’t care what you look like.

Lol. I don’t worry there either. Maybe I should ask my cousins who have lived there all their lives.

Now that I think about it, I probably would be more likely to go to the worst areas of Hinds County before I would the areas you speak of at night. But if I were with my husband, I would buck up and be ok. I think.

From the hue and cry, you could have been forgiven for thinking that the court had pronounced Jim Crow-era literacy tests and poll taxes constitutional after all, and advised black voters to forget about ever flexing their electoral muscles again.

Strangely enough black literacy is lower today than it was in 1964. All thanks to the Democrats that are so concerned about protecting Black Voter’s rights.

I think what Jacoby is saying, is that blacks were “oppressed” at all. They showed IDs and were able to vote. Granted, they voted for the RINO, but ironically they killed the voter ID hysteria from the Left.

I hope he continues to fight and not give in.
