Noooooooooooo........

Will soon-to-be-former state senator Sojourner be his campaign manager?

He might as well run for office. After that performance representing McDaniel, he probably doesn't have much of a future in the practice of law.

Just more evidence he's lost his mind.

At least he's now aware of the deadline for filing a challenge once he loses.

Just call him John Arthur Eaves. Built his law practice by unsuccessfully running for political office.

Feeling really sorry for this gentleman; not sure if he realizes the extent of embarrassment he caused for himself and McDaniel.

So, someone associated with an ideology that opposes gov't regulation, wants a job enforcing those regulations vs utilities?

Grifters gotta grift, I guess.

Is he still delinquent on his property taxes????

I am truly baffled.

Is it that a Cochran is running and that last name causes Mr. Tyner to react emotionally?

Mr. Tyner, if you are one of those whose political experience has left you with an " us vs. them" mentality so intense that you can't objectively assess why your guy lost and your role in that defeat, you shouldn't be involved in politics.

That mentality dooms you to failure.

Ronald Reagan didn't personally attack Gorbachev or belittle the Russian people or get caught up in details of policy. He instead demanded action ( " tear down this wall"), stated that the policies of the government were bad ( Evil Empire) and articulated the positive values of a democracy and described his vision of the future.

That's the same tact President Reagan took running against opponents. He didn't get his hands dirty. He remained above the fray and stayed on message. He used humor and wit, rather than acting like an attack dog.

That's what political success looks like.

The McDaniel campaign started out well and then the candidate clearly had no ability to define or maintain a strategy or message. Instead, his ego responded to the emotionalism of his " true believers"...his " fans". That's a huge mistake. The "true believers" are blinded by hero worship and are the vote you have, not the vote you have to get!

Even if McDaniel had won, like Nixon, he'd have self-destructed for the same reasons. And, unlike Nixon's time, the social media is different and you can't hide that " us vs. them" mentality so well or defray it to boogeymen.

Study politics first. It's not about being loved , it's about being effective.

YAWN ... Sssnnnooooorrrrreeee

Reagan is dead. Get over it.

Reagan might be dead, but his business model isn't. SNOREeeeeeee that.

Sun Tzu and Machiaveli are also dead, but successful people still study their philosophies and strategies.

Today's GOP talks alot of game when it comes to emulating Reagan's economic policies but votes nearly every time in the opposite direction.
