Your opinion means nothing unless you served. We could be bombing our closest ally and my point remains. After this past election cycle you can't say anything about the military both good and bad.

I live in MS, and I don't think that was much of a factor here. At least not the deciding factor. Colom won because:

1. Affordability / economy / standard midterm dynamics.

2. CHS was an absolutely terrible candidate, and a worthless senator before that. She had little useful to say, and at several points she stuck her foot in her mouth at the worst possible time. Dems capitalized on her ineptitude.

3. Lots of outside money and support came into the state. When the dems saw how weak she was, and how much her dumbass campaign was helping them, they capitalized on it.

CHS never really connected with the electorate. She didn't have to win her first primary as a senator...was picked by Gov. Bryant to replace her predecessor, Thad Cochran, when he stepped down. It was a politically expedient pick by an arrogant state GOP that thought it was invincible. I think this is relevant because she never had to build a top-notch organization in the state. The seat was just handed to her.

Fun fact. CHS was a dem until 10 or 15 years ago.

The MS GOP needs to get its sh*t together before the Governor's election in '28. There are only a few Govs up for election that year, and you can be sure the Dems have this one circled after the midterm disaster.

Lesson #1: Candidate quality matters.

Finally got the results they wanted. The counting would have went on for months until they got the numbers they wanted. Once they get it, shutdown the count.

Well, in the case of MS, I feel very confident this will be a 1 term. Unfortunately, for 6 years we get to listen to this moron. This may help scare conservatives in LA to get out and vote also.

Honestly can’t even blame this shite on the war. If the senates had a spine and didn’t vote in trumps cabinet members and found someone competent would be a whole different story. RFK, reallly!

The Democrats are going to flood Mississippi and Louisiana with mass immigration over the next 6 years to make sure these states are never Red again.

She had a decent campaign team. Same people that ran Wicker's. Triumph handled McConnell's campaigns over the years and other Senators.

She didn't fund raise. At one point in the last two years, her campaign account was 300K. That's it. She was only making a couple of campaign appearances a week. She was a lackluster Ag Commissioner and a lackluster Senator.

She was a product of the Phil Bryant machine. Let's look at the Phil Bryant term. DHS welfare scandal. Prison Commissioner busted for bribery. Prison riots. MBN director resigned in disgrace. Phils' Chief of Staff leaves six months before term expires, sets up lobbying firm, Phil starts shoveling contracts to him. Phil let outside consultants run the show and get contracts. He was a weak Governor.

They tried to appoint Tate but he wasn't going to leave with his three girls in school nor uproot them. Besides, he really wanted to be Governor. Delbert was felt to be too old. Pickering was not in their club. Don't know why they didn't approach Gunn. Truth is, this appointment was dreamed up by Phil and his consultants who wanted her so they could get contracts out of her, which they did.

This should be a wake up call to state GOP. One of Wicker's people told me this week that all the GOP clowns running for Governor next year are vying to see who can run to the right of each other while ignoring anything from the left.

That is the appearance from the cheap seats, too. Shad White will be interesting to watch. I hear that he is loathed by many in state gov and in the various GOP clicks, but he is popular with the base.

I think it will probably be a bit of a clown show of trying to out-MAGA each other. Regardless of who wins, they better get their messaging dialed in to the affordability issue and state economics.

Otherwise, who knows.

Shad is playing a smarter game than people realize.

People around the state were contacting me and asking why the legislature was trying to cut his budget $2 million after he delivered a report on government waste a couple of years ago. Good ole boys played right into his hands.

He has a Trump problem though. Favre is Trump's boy and Charlie Kirk told Shad on Twitter the Trump team would not support him because of Favre.

They are supposed to go to trial on the 30th but it will be continued.

No reason to block Scott. He is a sitting District Attorney. You weren't going to get some conservative in that seat. He met all the qualifications, was not a radical liberal. Wicker told her not to do it. She did it anyway.

How's that looking now?

Interesting take. He had tons of success with endorsements his first term and leading into this one. That has changed, why do you think that is?

The Democrats will have 56 Senate Seats plus 2 Independents who caucus with the Democrats for a total of 58 Senate seats. Throw in Lisa Murkowski (votes against GOP 17%), Rand Paul (votes against the GOP 16%), and Josh Hawley (votes against GOP 10%) who have consistently voted for Democratic causes you have 61 votes in the Senate. 61 Senate votes gives the Democrats a functional majority.

You can write it in ink that those three want to make Trump's last three years a living hell.
