McDaniel to challenge Primary Results

[Redfish]

This is a serious blow to the Tea Party.

If they couldn't win THIS election, then it's hard to imagine a better chance to win.

NO its not, but continue to believe that if it makes you feel good.

It is not a serious blow to the tea party. If democrats had not crossed over, the tea party would have won. The tea party is much stronger than republicans realized. This many not be lost on Cochran. The democrats who voted for him didn't do so because they suddenly became republicans.

You guys do know this was a primary right???? He still has the general to win. It should be scary to establishment republicans that they need to resort to liberal democrat tactics to beat conservative candidates with little to no money.

Maybe because the Tea Party is the Klan.
McDaniel was proud of his white sheet
Not hard to figure out, actually

Hey dummy the Klan were and are democrats ....please go learn some history of your party.

That isn't true. We're the ones who voted in the first Black president -- Twice!

There may have been a few Southern democrats who were in the KKK but they certainly aren't now and haven't been for a long long time.

When you know better, you do better. I guess the Republicans just don't know any better yet.

Proving that you are stupid or stupid.

I don't care one way or another. Even fringers deserve their representation - this is America.

But any honest analysis has to consider this a serious blow. This area is prime tea party country. Thad Cochran is the poster boy for everything the tea party hates. McDaniel raked in tons of support and endorsements from the tea party crowd.

And, amazingly enough, the voters rejected him.

It is very hard to imagine a situation that lines up better for the tea party.

yep, you're right, the voters rejected him-------the democrat voters who voted in the republican primary. Cochran is a democrat dressed up as a rino.

He is also so fricken old that he should not be trying to play senator any more. He is an embarrasment to the state of Miss and to the GOP.

The Associated Press called the race for Cochran, who is up 6,880 votes with 99.9 percent of precincts reporting.
A source close to McDaniel told Breitbart News that he is considering legal challenges over ballots. Democrats who voted for Cochran on Tuesday but voted three weeks ago in the Democratic primary in the state were not allowed to vote in Tuesday’s election.
Election results indicate Cochran's late appeal to Democratic voters paid off, with the incumbent senator picking up sizable vote totals in precincts with heavily black populations. Partisanship in Mississippi is largely polarized on racial lines, and Cochran allies paid key Democratic operatives to help turn out the vote.


Cochran Wins, But McDaniel Camp Eying Legal Challenges

We support you Chris McDaniel!

There is no butthurt quite like wingnut butthurt!

And yet the tea party couldn't manage to unseat this ancient embarrassment?

You can list a ton of excuses as to WHY they couldn't beat him - but you cannot argue that in the final analysis, the tea party wasn't strong enough to win - in a situation that was tailor-made for them.

It's a big blow.

Looks like Daniels will win after all when this is over.

There were 24,889 votes cast in Hinds County in the runoff—17,927 were for Cochran and 6,962 were for McDaniel—but only 20,567 Republican voters are listed in Hinds County

And how many Democratic voters are listed in Hinds County?

This was an open primary. You literally only told half the story!

 

[g5000]

I have no idea why Democrats should be allowed to vote in a Republican primary anyway.
And the same for Republicans being allowed to vote in a Democrat primary.
And what really gets me are the lefties ragging on the tea party candidate
when it took votes from Democrats to beat him.

Maybe because the Tea Party is the Klan.

Hey dummy the Klan were and are democrats ....please go learn some history of your party.

They are, and always have been, right wingers. Learn some history yourself!

Democrats who voted for Cochran were smart to do so because that is the only real voice they'll have in the Senate race;

you know the state is going to elect the Republican to the Senate. It's the most conservative state in the country. This way at least the Democrats plus the non-extremist Republicans were able to get the lesser of the two GOP evils.

 

[g5000]

Just to clarify the law, if a Democrat voted in the Democratic primary, they were not allowed to vote in the Republican runoff primary.

If a Democrat did not vote in the Democratic or Republican primary, they are allowed to vote in the runoff.

Primaries generally have a very low turnout, so there were probably a great many Democrats who were eligible to vote in yesterday's Republican runoff primary.

You can see here just how low turnout was for the Democratic primary.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Liberals out in force today sliming the forum with race baiting trash..Nothing new here it just means they're sooo fucking desperate to change the narrative..


24% Believe Obama Opponents Driven By Racism - Rasmussen Reports?

Only 24% believe voters are driven by racism who oppose Obama so don't let the KOOK fringe Zombie brigade make you believe otherwise. Just because far left radicals cruise forums doesn't make them in a majority in anything..


That 24% accounts for the far left Kooks in this nation.. in other words, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

If they are so "strong" why don't they form their own party?

No they weren't. Only a fucking retard thinks they were. You need to go to the democrat party because you sound just like them more every day.

As per the link I provided in my last post, only 84,339 votes were cast in the Democratic primary this year.

If you look here, you see that 528,260 people voted for Obama in 2012.

674,302 people voted for Romney.

Thus the turnout for the Democratic primary was paltry, to say the least. Only 15% of the number who voted for Obama two years ago.

That leaves a lot of Democrats eligible to vote in yesterday's primary.


Therefore, McDaniel's challenge probably won't succeed.

lmao As if you speak for anything or anyone.. Do you have a crystal ball that we're not aware of that shows the number of democrat voters who had already voted in a democrat primary, showing up to vote for the old fossil Cochran??? NO YOU DO NOT.
