Wicker had a lot of crossover support from Republican donors.


If that is accurate then "Republicans" are once again doomed to shoot themselves in the foot. Just because one Democrat is "better" than another doesn't mean they are good for your (purportedly) conservative interest. There are no "moderate democrats" no matter how much you want to believe they exists.

This is the same mindset that got JBE elected...twice...in a state that is otherwise deep red overall. The legislature is OVERWHELMINGLY Republican. Yet, their hands are in large part tied because those SAME people that made the legislature deep red also got duped...twice...into thing JBE is a "moderate democrat."

I guess some people have to touch the stove multiple times before they finally realize it's fricking hot!

or you could be realistic and understand that the numbers don't work for a deep red republican to win a mayoral election in BR

In the same, not all "Republicans" are conservatives. So throw your money at Jordan Piazza because he has an R next to his name, but don't complain when his administration (purely hypothetical because he has no chance) is far from conservative.
