MS Megathread: Hyde-Smith wins by 8

[Figueira]

Democrats should target this seat if Cochran resigns. Definitely a longshot, but like we found out in Alabama I could see it being competitive depending on candidate quality.

If Pressley doesn't run, I think Espy would be solid against McDaniel, he's giving me Doug Jones vibes.

*clapping* Doug Jones didn't win, Roy Moore lost

And Ralph Northam didn't win, Ed Gillespie lost. And tomorrow it won't be Conor Lamb who would have wom but Rick Saccone who would have lost.
Democrats never win, it's the Republicans who lose.

You're delusional if you don't believe Roy Moore was the reason that seat was lost. It was 100% him. Literally ANY other Republican would have won easily.

But the point is that Roy Moore would have won against a weaker candidate than Doug Jones.

Well yeah. I definitely agree with that.

So it's ridiculous to say that Jones's victory had nothing to do with Jones. Or that a candidate being similar to Doug Jones wouldn't be good news for that person's chances.

Jones was a great candidate. That doesn’t change the fact that a normal Republican (Luther Strange) would have beat him.

I think the argument is that Espy would be a good candidate in case the Republicans nominate another Roy Moore type. It's like, we probably can't bake a cake but we at least might have one ingredient.

I'm sure Mississippi will elect a black man over a White racist. lol

Hyde Smith is racist? Do you have any proof for the claim?

You need more proof beyond the lynching comments?

For Mississippi they are "normal". Even helpful from electoral point of view...

I mean yeah, that was kind of Gustaf's point.
