This is the one race this cycle that I agree...wipe out Cochran and come back in 6 years to retake the seat. Their racist attacks in the runoff were the most offensive action ever taken in a primary race. It is abhorrent.
I’d vote for Roberts and the others because they won fair and square. I pause when it comes to Kentucky, but if Grimes wins, I see her keeping that seat for 20 years or more, and I don’t want to cede that seat when McConnell will be gone fairly soon anyway. Mississippi is different, and we can deal with one seat for six years.

Exactly! In this instance, the GOPE has been operating just like the RATs. There is NO DIFFERENCE! This mush headed notion that we just HAVE to support REPUBICANS no matter what they’ve done doesn’t wash with me any longer. IF we are not willing to crash the GOPE’s game, we will never see our country free again! Just look at the long line of losers we’ve had to endure from the “It’s My Turn GOPE!” There hasn’t been a decent GOP presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan, and even he had to “accept” a BOOSH as part of the deal for the GOPE to hold their noses and support him. Now, we are going to watch as the GOPE “anoints” the Mexican Boosh for 2016.
The big problem with taking out McConnell is that there are six or seven arguments working against him. Too out of touch with KY. Too much of a deal maker. Too old. Raised money for Cochrane. Etc.
You’d see a lot of post-loss analysis rationalizing about which issue mattered most. Which would dilute any “message” that his defeat would send. Like what happened with Brats victory over Cantor, which is attributed by a lot of people to his not spending physical time in the district, rather than being a RINO.
Cochrane’s behavior in the runoff is unambiguous. If he loses because Conservatives cross to vote for Childers it can and will be directly attributed to those slimy race-bating tactics. There won’t be any rationalizing, because the root cause will be obvious.
