Could Mississippi Be the Next Alabama?

After Alabama Sen. Luther Strange's defeat last week in a Republican primary runoff, the national spotlight turned west and onto incumbents in Nevada and Arizona already facing intra-party challenges next year. Yet just over the nearest border, a Mississippi state senator with something of a vendetta against the party’s establishment was feeling empowered to mount another insurrection.

Chris McDaniel came close to defeating U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran in 2014, and is now weighing a bid against Republican Sen. Roger Wicker.

I live in Tennessee, and Blackburn is a near lock. The only exception would be if Peyton Manning were to enter the race, and nobody is really expecting that. Our squish governor Haslam has already announced he's not running.

Wicker is virtually invisible. 23 years in Congress, time to go.

Too nuanced? Not hardly. Just a poorly worded way for you to say for us to save our best to take Thad out. Let me tell you something Hugh, we need to use our best to take Wicker out and Chris McDaniel is the man.
