Discussion for article #222876
This is Exhibit A in explaining why voters are turned off. Two guys yelling at each other through proxies about who did what, “No, I didn’t, you did!” “no, you did it first!” and it’s irrelevant to anything voters care about and who can only sit and watch the unfolding pettiness.

What’s going on in public has little or nothing to do with what’s really go on here.
It appears the McDaniel campaign has no idea how to address this, which doesn’t bode well for their campaign.

And right on cue, the McDaniel campaign takes the bait, and then fumbles the response, which is just as the Cochran people guessed they would.
What a gift.

Well, since McDaniel did manage to address his elephant in his room when he said this:
“…from day one I have demanded that our staff not get involved in certain aspects of Sen. Cochran’s personal life.”
I’d say that it’s just the Cochran team trying to have the upper hand.
McDaniel already has relationships and views that make him repugnant. Cochran may not be as bad, but he was raised a democrat and became a republican in the 60’s (wonder why), so he’s definitely not someone I respect.
Mississippi does not do the nation proud.

Pretty soon everyone will be “shocked and appalled” by a shock jock like McDaniel.
"We are shocked and appalled, by how the Cochran campaign is using the actions of a sick individual to slander Chris McDaniel," the campaign spokesman said.
Yep. Sounds like a Republican primary. As Republicans they should understand that shocking and appalling is default Republican campaign mode.

Only sick individuals would vote for McDaniel. His supporters should be in the lunatic asylum.
Lay down with snakes and they are likely to bite you.

That’s no excuse not to vote. I don’t need to personally like the people I vote for. I vote for those who are least likely to screw me out of the opportunities I need to take care of my family.
I’m a bit puzzled. Sorry to nitpick, but how do you slander someone by releasing a tape of their message to you?

Old Cochran has been in this game for a long time. He knows how to swat this fly.
