If she's accepting a government paycheck, I don't exactly have much sympathy for her deciding which of the governments laws she's going to enforce. If this was any other job and she decided to do her own thing she'd be out the door.
That said, I would be interested in seeing how she'd fair if...
Phillies hates the Pauls. He ran for the LP nod in 2008 and was the only one I can recall who did not promise to endorse RP if he won the Republican nomination.
The best part of this: Seeing Santorum whine when Hannity ignores his announcement and doesn't give him an interview. The ball is on the other foot this time.
I am curious how many members of the caucus will resign from it due to its tasteless and blatant race baiting, which is of course unacceptable in the national discourse. Will the media cover this in outraged tones and demand Congressman Butterfield resign? I am guessing no.
Interesting that...
This. Cantor's out of leadership, so many of the perks he enjoyed while being majority leader are no longer available. The guy likely wanted to make some wall street money a little early, and his ego could not take spending the rest of the congress as a backbencher.
Brat's fundraising has...
I found this very troubling at first, but now that it seems like Werrell decided to step down on his own volition, I'm perfectly fine with it. Especially since Chase endorsed Brat. Plus I'm betting she has contacts with some in the party establishment and has been brought on to bridge that gap...
McDaniel is attacking the GOP establishment for allowing Democrats to decide the primary and not conceding! Good for him. Its to late for him to run as a third party outside of a write-in, but could he get the reform party nominee to quit and take his place on their ticket? Probably a pipe...
Toxic to who? The establishment? He already has no support amongst them. He can't do much to make them hate him more. And if there's an open seat in four years, he'll probably be up against someone less toxic than Cochran who the establishment will easily coalesce around anyway.
I don't know...
I'm normally not an advocate for this, but McDaniel should run as a write in and hope to do enough damage to Cochran that the Democrat gets elected. At this point, Cochran owes his political career to the Democrats, and he knows it. I expect he will govern accordingly if reelected.
McDaniel's absolute last chance is DeSoto County. He leads by 6000+ votes with 87% in. If that comes in strongly, it might be enough. At this point I doubt it, but keep hope alive.
Jones all but in, McDaniel still down by just over a 1000 votes. Game over.
Maybe the Democrat will drop out and endorse Cochran and we can end this farce. After all, they were the ones to chose the Republican nominee.
