What does Trent Lott say? I understand he never much got along with Thad.

Just curious, but why would you care what Trent (for rent) Lott says? Like Cochran before and now after him, he was and is a citizen of Washington D.C. not Mississippi.
Both would / do show up for the campaigns and fund raisers and photo ops then quickly retreat to their home on the Potomac.
don't believe me? Ask yourself, when was the last time Lott was seen on the streets of Pascagoula? Or Cochran in Jackson?
That's because they are at home in the suburbs of Washington.
