Cochran was probably zoned out from his Alzheimer’s meds and had no clue the staffer even went anywhere.

I'd be surprised Cochran even knows where he is most of the time. I assume his staffers lead him around and tell him which button to press for votes. That's why the GOPe so desperately needed him to win last year.
