Mike Espy ran a really good race.

Just sayin...

1. Yep, only 8 points behind...

...in a very red state, gaining a bigger share of the vote than Hillary or Obama did.

In just 2 years, Hyde-Smith has to run again.

3. It was a special election. She's up for re-election in 2020.

6. Ohhhhh

Got you...that is a little reassuring. Not sure what better candidate we could have ran in that race so I sure hope we can make up that 8 point gap between now and then.
She really tied herself tight to trump so that msy help us two years from now.

4. She's completing Thad Cochran's term.

He retired for health reasons, the governor appointed her, and the election was for the remainder of the term, which ends in 2020.

7. Sorry

Realize that now. Sorry about that

[JaneQPublic]

8. Not a problem

I just learned myself thé other day... probably from Kornacki during one of his board-side data dumps.

5. Yes he did and he can try again in two more years!

Mississippi is a very racist state, no doubt about it. Family members voted for Espy! Will vote for him again.
