OK, here’s a question for all you “take over the GOP, death to third parties” people:

Suppose McDaniel wins outright. Or suppose he wins a runoff.

It’s clear, from Indiana, Delaware, and Utah that the losing candidate and his GOPe people won’t support or vote for our guy.

Wouldn’t it be better to run with a broader appeal?

Wouldn’t it be better to run with a broader appeal?

No, not if that "broader appeal" comes at the expense of social issues or limited government.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

One map I've seen shows Hinds, Jefferson and Rankin counties as incomplete returns.
Does anyone know if that is accurate at this time?

It appears that Hinds and Rankin will be the determinates as to a runoff or not.
It doesn't show the # of precincts not reporting just a percentage.

Hinds: 96.6% reporting

T. Cochran  66.4%  10,327
C. McDaniel 33.1%   5,147
T. Carey     0.6%      86
  
Rankin:  98% reporting
T. Cochran  50.0%  11,900
C. McDaniel 49.0%  11,659
T. Carey     1.0%     249

Jefferson:  87.5% Reporting

T. Cochran  55.3%    121
C. McDaniel 43.4%     95
T. Carey     1.4%      3

No!

NO!

Compromise in the squishy middle is exactly what has demolished this country.

The bad guys always get some of their agenda that way, and only have to come back for more next time.
