Everybody needs to come to Mississippi and get Espy elected over Cyndi Hyde-I-Iron-A-Crease-In-My-Blue-Jeans-Smith.

Although I fear the Chris McDaniel ghouls are just going to push her to victory. But hopefully they don't get back out to vote!

Well I just got blocked on Twitter by Josh Barro, I feel like I’m officially part of political twitter now after first joining Twitter like 6 months ago.

Basically he just had a hissy fit calling people criticizing Trump for skipping the WWI event crazy. I’d share the dumb tweets but, I’m blocked.

Everybody should delete their Twitter account anyway. Quit giving these chuds a void to shout into.

I was looking this guy up as he works for my fave publication down here (The Jackson Free Press).

He has a website, Deep South Voice, where he posted about a Change Research Poll indicating Espy had a double digit lead in Mississippi and Cyndi Hyde Smith was far behind.

That wasn't even close to accurate (or at least that's not what the actual vote tally showed). What is this Change Research?

Also here is the article: http://deepsouthvoice.com/index.php/2018/11/06/poll-democrat-mike-espy-leads-by-12-points-in-mississippis-u-s-senate-race/

Isn't that spot-on for the Espy share of the results, but off for the split between Hyde-Smith and McDaniels?

It's accurate for Espy, but the final Hyde-Smith and McDaniels count seems quite a bit off.

The Mississippi Farm Bureau was running the show. I doubt they even asked Espy.

What I mean is the no audience and no press thing was known ahead of time and Espy shouldn't have agreed to participate knowing that.

Or maybe it all worked out because it's clearly evident how terrible it was.

Hyde-Smith wanted that outcome more than anything. She was hoping he'd call her out so she could drive the narrative towards that instead of her looking like she had a stroke when asked about her nakedly racist remarks.

She'll still win, if only due to the sheer determination with which Mississippi clings to being the worst state.

Well at least I'll be out casting my vote.

No, people are getting excited over nothing. He'd have a chance if it were a House race I think and he might go under the radar but his only path is high dem turnout / low rep turnout and racist comments are going to encourage turnout of the white republican base in Mississippi.

Oh they've already all seen it and swept it under the rug.

Per the ESPN article:

quote:

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt also addressed the player's character at that time.

"Kareem is a young man, second year in the league, obviously had a very big year on the field last year," Clark Hunt said. "I'm sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won't be in those kind of situations in the future."

Clark Hunt said in August that he didn't expect the running back to be disciplined by the NFL.

In June, coach Andy Reid said he had spoken with Kareem Hunt after the second incident but declined to specifically address either situation.

I guess Trump's "letting everyone just openly not have to pretend to give a poo poo" has ironically spread to the NFL.

trump is an isolationist, it's literally his one feature that made him stand out in the republican primary that wasn't 'this guy may be medically demented'. There's no conspiracy other than this is probably him setting up to do the same in Afghanistan in 2020 by declaring 'victory' there too.

I think the point he's making is that his actions would be because of kompromat. Being an isolationist wouldn't mean jack poo poo if you're coerced into doing something.

no I got his point but Trump has like one not terrible feature and it's always been his saying 'but also we maybe shouldn't be dying in the desert and blowing people up for nothing and those wars were real stupid'. Like, he's a psychopath who wants to do war crimes and plunder countries as revenge and poo poo but at least he always paid lip service to a concept that no republican ever touched. Him doing this isn't blackmail it's just him being him.

gonna own to see a bunch of woke dems saying 'actually sir the forever war is vital'

Some big concrete specific government failure that forces the Senate's hand.
