As an Ohioan, it just doesn't sit right that black Democrats should be able crossover and determine the Republican nominee, no matter if it's competitive or not. If Ohio had open primaries and Kasich got a strong primary challenge this year from say Mike DeWine or Steve LaTourette (not to say either one of them ever would have ran), I would still cast a Democratic ballot because that's my party affiliation and who I identify with closest. I wouldn't try to blatantly sabotage the other side.
Weren't you proudly cheering on Chris McDaniel yesterday?
Yeah, but I wouldn't vote for him if I lived in Mississippi. I supported McDaniel in the primary enthusiastically because that was the easiest way to knock out Cochran, but I disagree with both of them on about everything and would make zero sense for me as a fiscal liberal and social moderate to cast a vote for either one. I would have cast a Democratic ballot for either Childers or possibly Rawl (seeing as he's more liberal than Childers is).
Why such a dislike for Cochran, at least by Republican standards? Would you honestly rather have a Senator McDaniel? Because I don't think you believe Childers or Rawl would have a chance in hell at winning that seat.
