But are you a majority? That's what is required to win elections. Fifty percent plus one. Is that what McDaniel's search for irregularities going to turn up? Time is running out.

The Tea Party is supported by less than 20% of the population. But you keep on believing you have the numbers to overthrow the GOP. It will be fun to watch you get crushed.

Even if I seldom agree with their platform, at least the establishment GOP isn't bat**** crazy, like the Tea Party. It will be great for the country when they are finally put down. Can't happen soon enough.

Tomorrow Cochran will be certified as the winner. And in response, McDaniel is now fundraising to raise enough for a legal challenge.

"He outlined his plans in a fundraising email to supporters Wednesday.

"We have a long fight ahead of us. I know exactly how long and frustrating court battles can be, but I believe this will be worth it. There is too much at stake to back down from this fight," McDaniel said.

"The problem is that court cases are expensive, and we don’t currently have the resources to mount the legal challenge that this case deserves. Please, take a moment to contribute to the Election Challenge Fund to help me contest this corrupt election."

I think all Tea Partiers should respond to his call. Send money. Better make it lots of money, too, as McDaniel is going to need it after he loses in court.

McDaniel is the definition of a sore loser.

The McDaniel campaign has just filed the challenge. They claim they've identified 4900 improper votes, so far.

They are challenging approximately 4900 votes. Just because they think there is some kind of "irregularity" does not mean that the vote can be invalidated. And they have a long, long road to go before roughly 7000 votes can be invalidated.

Omgoodness, the "many" have decided Cruz made a little misstep, hilarious. He doesn't know if anything illegal went on or not, it's best that he does stay out of it. Chris McDaniel needs to take lessons from Eric Cantor. Cantor had a lot more on his plate, yet bowed out extremely graciously.

You need to round them all up and get to Mississippi fast. The loser needs more help.

He's talking about a write in campaign. Boy, the Tea Party really wants to lose yet another "safe" Senate seat, don't they?

The Mainstream beat them regularly in 2014 w/o much effort. 80/20 works the same way..every time.
