Hyde-Smith recent comments saying she would attend a public hanging sealed her fate. This will turn off moderate voters along with McDaniel supporters not coming out to vote. On top of that it will energize black voters.

Add in the likelihood of the GOP losing Florida and Arizona and the Senate isn’t looking too good now...

This is going to be a must win for the GOP.

Florida is in the bag for Scott.

That is 52-47 GOP. MS win would be 53-47. We need as many votes as possible to neuter Mitt and Murkowski.

I agree it was dumb as hell to say because of the sensitive-arse climate we live in, but is there any evidence she meant it in any sort of racist manner? Wasn’t she just making a lame joke using hyperbole to say she would have gone to anything the dude asked her to?

Are we talking HRC/Brennan/BHO/Clapper, because I'll drive to MS to vote for that lady who wants to see that.

Yeah Mississippi will turn blue if plenty of people are to ignorant to investigate this and have no balls like you. Get out there and defend that idiot and quit your bitching!

I’ll still hold my nose and vote for her, but I cannot wait to vote her out next term if any other republican with a pulse runs.

Supreme Court appointment is too important an issue to let something this idiotic mess up. We as a state have the worst political candidates I can think of, how stupid are we that this is the best we can do. Seriously the people with the lowest IQ run for office and they win.

I'd love it for a politician, instead of offering an apology for the remark, to just tell anyone who's offended to either stick it or kiss her arse. Hell that's why Trump got elected. Not a frick was given.

Stupid statement but she wins easily. MS Republicans know that this race is too critical to sit on the sidelines. Dems won't turn out.

The average Mississippian would love to see a public hanging.

She wins by double digits.

I guess HRC comment on "They all look alike" should be taken in the same context.

Public hangings are not the same as illegal lynchings. They are court-ordered executions. Abraham Lincoln ordered at least 39 public hangings. And the 4 convicted of Lincoln's assassination died by public hanging.

quote:

In 1862 President Abraham Lincoln sanctioned the hanging of 39 Sioux Indians convicted of murdering white settlers in Mankato, Minnesota.[11] This mass execution remains the largest of its kind in United States history.[10]

Four people were hanged for their participation in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Mary Surratt, one of the four, was the first woman to receive capital punishment by the United States federal government.


Smith made a poor choice. But her intent was not what is being hyped. She should set the record straight, and move on.

Smith will win but it will be closer than it should have been. Any Mississippian with a conservative bone in their body only has to look at Jones in Alabama, the moderate Jones of course. How did his vote on Kavanaugh turn out? He voted 100% with Schumer and will do so until he's beat in 2020. Espy will vote that way in spades.

She didn't say lynching. She said public hanging. Back in the day they used to hang people for all sorts of things that had nothing to do with race.

People are racist for assuming she was being racist.

Espy will not win.

It won’t even be close.

Espy will NOT win. Mississippi is nothing if not consistent. The three G crowd will see to that. God, Guns, and the GOP that's the only way for me.

The only reason we even have a runoff is because McDaniel split the GOP vote.

MISSISSIPPI
Highest poverty rate.
Highest infant mortality rate.
5th highest unemployment rate.
3rd highest incarceration rate.
5th highest uninsured rate.

Thirty years of Republican senators and fourteen years of Republican governors. What a track record.

It will matter to those who were not going to vote for her. Otherwise, her base and those who have common sense will not be dissuaded.
