No one said it is easy to oust an incumbent. Did you know that?
I don't see the dominoes falling for the Tea Party in the GOP here. You've won a few and that's it. The establishment has won more and they have more support.
No Not this time. The RINOs have overplayed their hand. Some conservatives may sit out, some may vote democrat, some may write in. But Cochran is out.
I'm sure you were one of the same people who told me that there was no way Obama would win in 2012 as well. Trust me, I'm far better at reading the political tea leaves than you are .
I notice Lindsey Graham won renomination in a statewide vote in South Carolina.
Graham did not win against a single strong opponent. He won against four or five other candidates, because they were splitting their votes. and resources.
It is the GOPs core principles that have changed. Have you ever heard of Ronald Reagan? Small gov't, lower taxes, less regulation, warned against national health care... You need the history lesson.
LOL! Okay, now I know you're not dealing with a full deck. Reagan and small government?? Reagan nearly tripled the federal budget deficit. During the Reagan years, the debt increased to nearly $3 trillion. He raised taxes 11 times. Reagan GREW the government.
And you tell others they need a history lesson? Oh, man, you are hilarious.
I think Cochran sees this as a win-win for himself. He got these dems to vote for him in the primary, and now these same morons cannot vote against him in the general election.
Of course, he does. He tricked them into voting for him and conveniently didn't tell them that doing so means that they can't vote for the Democrat candidate in November. It's by far one of the worst political dirty tricks I've ever seen.
Graham did not win against a single strong opponent. He won against four or five other candidates, because they were splitting their votes. and resources.
He won 57% of the vote, 42 points more than his next closest competitor in the primary.

People got it wrong, because they did not think there were so many stupid, ignorant people in America, well, they were wrong. 0bama lying his ass off sure as hell helped.
I'm not so sure. conservatives have principles, they are not blind partisan hacks. If cohran is acting like a democrat now, why worry that another democrat might win his seat?
What do you think was going on during the Bush administration? Conservatives were kicking the corrupt, corporatist RINOs to the curb by refusing to reelect them, and this allowed the dems took the senate and the house. Many of them sat home and refused to vote for Romney too, and 0bama won.
This is not just people having a disagreement with Cochran on policy matters, Cochran lied his ass off, he called these conservative voters racists. He made it very personal.
People threw him out because it was the second midterm of his Presidency and the party in power typically suffers worse during that election. The economy was also beginning a downturn at that point which added to the GOP spanking.

I see, so when you don't win it's either because the election is stolen from you or the electorate are morons .
The problem with the Tea Party is that they are full of contradictions:
We are for less taxes! Yea!
We are for a balanced budget! Yea!
But we don't want to raise taxes to balance the budget! Yea!
We have to cut government programs! Yea!
We have to cut Medicare and Social Security! Ye..I mean not so fast..Let's think about it....
Keep your government hands off my Medicare! Yea...I think, I don't know, is Medicare a government program? I don't know....
