Harry Reid has one goal in mind when he praises Thad Cochran, and that is damaging his chances. Reid’s calculation, probably correct,is that Thad is more electable than McDaniel, thus more of a threat to his future as majority leader.
+1. But also damage Cochranes chances in November, should he win the nomination.
Similar to what I just said on the Valerie Jarrett/Boehner thread, and have said before. 2014 is a base turnout election. The Dem base is demoralized so the only hope they have is to suppress the GOP base.
Not to be interpreted as a pro-Cochrane position. Just want to make sure what’s going on is out there and part if the discussion so Conservatives can make informed, fact and issues based voting decisions.
