These repeat shitty candidates need to go the frick away. McDaniel already tried in 2014 and voters chose nursing home Thad over him.

Chris McDaniel leads six-term Senator Thad Cochran by a hair in Mississippi’s Republican Senate primary early Wednesday morning. Hours after polls closed, it is still too close to call. Both campaigns are watching anxiously to see if McDaniel crosses the 50% threshold to avoid a June 24 runoff.

With 99.5% of the vote in, McDaniel leads Cochran 49.6% to 48.9%, with minor candidate Thomas Carey taking 1.6% of the vote. McDaniel would be considered the favorite in a runoff, which tend to benefit candidates with motivated supporters who can make up for what is usually a steep drop-off in turnout.

Because McDaniel did not cross 50%, there was a run off. Thadd literally went to the democrats and made deals to get the votes from dems. Dems crossed over in the primary and voted for Thadd.
