The Mississippi Republican Party is welcoming some new members and all of them were elected public offices as Democrats or Independents in this most recent election cycle. The Mississippi Republican Party Chairman says he doesn’t expect this will be the last time they are welcoming new members to the GOP.

No doubt they do not want to be identified as communists, which is a danger to everyone wearing a D jersey after Bernie wins the nod.

Go Bernie!

More like the Democratic Party in Mississippi has been irrelevant for decades.

For the Democrat establishment March 3, 2020 will be Super Awful Tuesday when Bernie sweeps primaries and caucuses from coast to coast. I expect a number of states will have “delayed” vote counts. You can bet on it!

Yikes... makes wonder if all these turncoats are actually turncoats or future saboteurs of the Republican Party.

They’re certainly political opportunists trying to protect their own private political rice bowls. If they’re genuine or infiltrators only the future will reveal.

Not totally irrelevant. They had at least 8 elected officials. Now 8 fewer.

Thank you for referencing that article Zenyatta. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

These switchers still have pro-Democratic agenda voting records.

Remember in November!

MAGA, now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

Exactly! I wouldn’t rule out a “Trojan horse” strategy here.

There is NO low the Dems won’t stoop to.

“...I expect a number of states will have “delayed” vote counts. ...”

It’s called “The Iowa Count Syndrome”... it happens when a commie posing as a democrat - or a democrat admitting he IS a commie - wins.

“No doubt they do not want to be identified as communists, which is a danger to everyone wearing a D jersey after Bernie wins the nod.”

And that is how the Republican party should treat every Democrat running for office. They are communists.

Reagan switched from the rat party. That turned out pretty good for us.

MS had some of the last Blue Dog Democrats...some of that is still in play and these folks finally had their eyes opened up...they “get it” as to why the Dem Party is tanking and why Trump is popular.

The Mississippi Republican Party is welcoming some new members

Is that the party that supported Thad Cochran over Chris McDaniel?

No thanks.
