Remember in 2014 when #pragmatic mostly-black #Mississippi #Democratic voters crossed party lines to support #Republican #ThadCochran against #wingnut #ChrisMcDaniel?
McDaniel called it illegitimate & generally went ap-sh-t. The tears of your opponent is a lousy basis for doing anything.
Sometimes pragmatism and good-government produces them anyway.

No idea squeaky-clean #Mississippi Senator #ThadCochran could have been majority leader instead of #TrentLott, who left under cloud, straight to lobbying, timed to avoid the new ethics law. #SidSalter seems to value #PoliticalPork over all else but not sure chairmanships for #RogerWicker are all that desirable. Seniority system keeps both MS senators incumbent, though both were appointed, negating the spirit of the #17thAmendment. #politics
