WLBT Sucks!!! Fox reports election results 30 min before our local WLBT.

Espy Espy Espy Espy...........

The winner of this election is... Voter Engagement.

Waited in line for an HOUR to vote... at 7 am... in South Jackson! Lines weren’t this long when Obama was on the ticket! And this is only a midterm !!

I love it. Quality of life is mostly determined by these boring local elections (see ‘Tommie Green’ eat al.) Not the National ones!

Apathy is the enemy, information and critical thinking is the key to a better life for all of us. Paying attention is the first step !

@7:46pm. WLBT does suck

Wicker is a klutz when it comes to public speaking.

Sorry McD, but you’re political career, beyond Jones County, will officially end in another hour. Maybe two. But you’re done and good riddance.

No vote count out of Rankin County. They are having computer problems.

Extremely disappointed in how difficult it is to find election results in this area. Clarion Ledger has no local races, WJTV and WAPT's web sites are way too clunky and user unfriendly, and WLBT doesn't update but about once an hour. Also past 9 p.m. and no results at all from Rankin County.

Big shout out to all the McDaniel supporters. Now that he has lost and wasted your vote, will you please go ahead and send him a postdated check for $15 to find his missing votes. There is also a GoFund Me page set up at chrismcdanielsisapieceofshit.com to provide bail for his campaign “volunteers” that will stumble into a courthouse somewhere in MS tonight. Of course, the “janitor/guard/ghost let them in defense” will be used once again. Too bad CHS did not have an elderly relative to illegally photograph in an effort to gain votes. I guess the “big guy” couldn’t find any super volunteers to go down that road again.

Now that the polls have closed, lets all meet up at the Mexican bar. I hear there are some hot “mamasitas” there tonight.

Espy will lose the runoff. Thanks for playing Mike.

When Espy wins, you can thank Thad Cochran.

looking good for McCarty and McDonald, might avoid runoffs

Espy showing well but unlikely to win runoff. Dems too far off in Senate to go all-out here.

looking forward to Trump’s 1040s and much, much more

Good riddance to bad rubbish- Chris McDaniel. Hopefully this will be the last we see of him.

I can't believe that we have to put up with that jerk Priester another 4 years as County Judge. Bennie carried him over the line.

Thank God thank God thank God thank God
thank God thank God THANK GOD !!!!!!!!!!!

Weill will be NO LONGER be on any judicial bench.
Justice just took one giant leap forward.
There are no words to describe my relief and overwhelming excitement that weill will soon be out of a job as any type of judge.
Could not have happened to a more deserving person. Maybe weill you could spend some time now learn how to be a decent human being and a fair and just judge. Please spend this free time your about to have actually studying and learning the LAW.
THANK GOD

McDaniel didn’t even win a majority in Jones, ran 200,000 votes behind CHS and only won 2 counties. About as decisive a loss as you can get.

Overall, I am encouraged by the results nationally. Hopefully Trump can get himself under control and start representing the wishes of the majority of moderate Americans. A little respect for the constitution will go a long way with a large portion of us.

CHS vs Espy in runoff. The fact that McDaniel is not in the runoff is a win for every Mississippian.

Bye-bye, Chris. Back to Ellisville with you! There's always next time where you can go toe-to-toe with Shawn O'Hara for last place.

I have no idea what a 'Br'er Rabbit' routine is, but we are officially launching years of paralysis in the House effective with the swearings in.

Nancy has her lap dog trained already, the AP is reporting that Trump called her to congratulate her last night. The dems will rule as He tries to control the numerous investagations they want to launch. Remember all of the things he said about Maxine Waters? Come January she will be the nices person in the country.

Has anybody ever come as close to being a US Senator as McDaniel? He saw an opportunity and had the thing won. A handful of his own kooky birds took it from him.

Who cares what Trump's tax returns look like? Well, I guess nimrods with nothing better to do are clamoring at the chance. However, no election nor any shift in the House will have any impact whatsoever on a sitting president being forced to reveal his private information. Not to mention it's none of your damned business.

But maybe now we will get to see Cindy's boots and pressed denim shirt on display in a glass case at the Governor's mansion.

Espy won't get out of the blocks. The 'reveal' will tarnish what little image he has left.

Making Pelosi Great Again.

Where do I get a cap?

Senate going to be +4 when all is said and done. McConnell will get a ton of federal judges approved. There was no blue wave, it was a good night.

Got news for you Mike. You already got any white votes last night that you were going to get. McDaniel supporters won't vote for you. Hell no. Make that big check out to Brad Chism for his bullshit narrative that you could actually pull this off.

12:49 ....launching? It’s designed to work that way and has operated that way since 1970 other than a few blips.

Pelosi as the national face of the Donkeycrats for the next 2 years? Trump wins re-election easily.

10:18, we'll see Trump's 1040's just about as soon as we see your 1040EZ; 12:11, please be specific where Trump has violated the Constitution; 5:34, just keep repeating this phrase to yourself "Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters..." it gives me chills, and should keep you up at night; and PLEASE, Democrats - elect Pelosi as Speaker...and get ready to for another Trump inauguration in January 2021!

Our saving grace is that the Republicans held and added seats in the Senate which will throw a wet blanket on any attempts to derail and turn back the economic, regulatory and tax reform that has taken place; it will not, however keep Nadler and Schiff from ginning up bullshit investigations which will waste the time and resources of the government, not to mention taxpayer dollars.

#MAGA! #KAG!

Here's what will completely blow the Democrats away. IF and it's a huge IF they were to come up with some even half assed decent legislation...Trump would work with them. In the end the crazy S.O.B. is about getting things done. So now they just need to decide if they want to govern or continue the 2016 melt.

Well the runoff with CHS, Espy, and McDaniel went about as expected.

Mississippi Republicans came to their senses and voted for CHS. They may not like her, but they did not want to be on the national stage with an Espy vs. McDaniel runoff.

So this will be a relatively easy cover-up to say the state is becoming progressive by electing a woman to the senate for the first time.

When all of us that live here knows the runoff will simply be black vs. white, with whites coming out overwhelmingly for CHS and blacks for Espy.

Mississippi conservatives need to get over themselves and need to stop calling a CHS a RINO. She has held the line for trump since being in D.C. The people of Mississippi voted for Trump, she's supported him with blind allegiance. She needs to get credit for doing what you all asked her to do.

You backed the wrong horse Dorsey and no matter what you think your Democrat friends will not forget it. That's how they roll.

Mississippi conservatives need to get over themselves and need to stop calling a CHS a RINO.

Chip on that shoulder?

Chuck Schumer absolutely screwed up on Kavanaugh. It has to be one of the biggest strategic gaffes of the last 50 years. Schumer, and Reid before him, guaranteed a Republican makeover of the Federal judiciary that will last a generation. McConnell is going to push through Trump's 9th Circuit nominees and Democrat heads will explode!

7:55 am Nov.7
You are 100% correct. I hope the voters are prepared to get what they voted for over the next two years.
Pelosi and the rest of the dems will spent the next two years clogging up the system trying to pin anything on Trump.
They are totally blinded by their hate of Trump.
7:59 am
Yes I truly believe the last two years trump would have gladly worked with the dems if they could have gotten themselves past their trump derangement syndrome and met with him.

Mississippi blew it. I'd move to Jones County if they'd secede from the rest of this mess of a state.

@10:34 PM, judging by your childish outburst (complete with the "all caps" button depressed) one of your immediate family members was held accountable for bad behavior in Judge Weill's court and sentenced appropriately. Maybe you should save your end zone victory dance energy that will be needed while appearing before the parole board in favor of your loved one.

When all of us that live here knows the runoff will simply be black vs. white, with whites coming out overwhelmingly for CHS and blacks for Espy.

Speak for yourself, fartknocker. It's about reining in the unbridled hatred of the national left. Giving them another seat in the Senate will offer them more power to pursue their campaign of hate.

Now is the time to change the flag. The vote for Mr. "DEFEND OUR FLAG" McDaniel at a paltry 16%. I think Mississippians are coming to understand that we need a banner that all citizens can look to - one that unites rather than divides.

I say give the Stennis flag a chance.

it’s bizarre that unlike other states, our SOS doesn’t post election-night unofficial numbers. Why, Delbert?

Benghazi will seem like a photo op at the local zoo compared to the 2 fisted colorectal exam trump and company are about to experience.

The best thing to ensure Trump 2020 happened last night.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg... how long can she be propped up?

Now we will see “The Art of the Deal” in action. It will drive Democrats and Republicans crazy.

I have my popcorn ready!

At 9:40 AM, you should be ashamed for using Benghazi in any form of attempted humor. What happened there will never be funny.

Wicker and CHS are off the charts on the Mediocrity Scale.

What a frickin' joke Mississippi is.

"... it will not, however keep Nadler and Schiff from ginning up bullshit investigations which will waste the time and resources of the government, not to mention taxpayer dollars."

Like that bullshit investigation of HRC and Benghazi?

8:19 AM - Spot on - Right now 1/6 of the federal judges are Trump appointees. Will be close to 1/3 by 2020. Any pending appointments from this term will be rammed through by McConnell just before the Christmas Break.

7:59 AM - Also correct. No signable legislation will come out of the house because the Dems won't want to let Trump claim a victory on anything. It will be "Get Trump" 24/7 for the next 2 years.

Huge hidden victory for Repubs last night. By picking up so many Senate seats, they have 90% locked the Dems out of taking the Senate in 2020. The map in 2020 is not a whole lot better for the Dems, taking 5-6 seats will be next to impossible.

Huge loss for the media last night - every media darling lost (FL,GA,TX). Everyone Obama pitched for lost. Every close Senate seat that Trump pitched for won except for Nevada, where Harry Reid still have tremendous clout.

If Trump wins in 2020, almost 70% of the Federal judges will be Trump appointees by the time he leaves office. He will get 2 more Supreme Court picks and the Dems will be locked out of the courts for 2 generations. The Dems ran on health care, if they don't produce some fixes, Trump wins in 2020.

Hopefully the runoffs will get even better with:

Cowgirl (CHS) over plaintiff (mornag&morgan) lawyer with tainted past (given he wasn't convicted of accepting $$$$ but those who gave, were convicted). Could this have been in Green's courtroom?

Jeff Weill; the kind of judge Mississippi is in desperate need of and the defeat of Green, the kind of judge we are desperately NOT in need of.

A snafu yesterday at a polling location in Philadelphia that inconvenienced, per the reporter, "nearly a dozen people" and the Jackson Fake Press inexplicably ties the problem to the KKK, Chaney, Schwerner, Goodman and Edgar Ray Killen back in 1964.

Freaking incredible. That's why your business is dying on the vine Donner.

Speak for yourself, fartknocker. It's about reining in the unbridled hatred of the national left. Giving them another seat in the Senate will offer them more power to pursue their campaign of hate.

The irony to talk about unbridled hate on the national stage, but can't even check the racial animus in their own backyard. The countless blacks that have been murdered at the hands of white men that have not been accountable for those crimes. But you want to sell the b.s. that your vote is from a political intellectual standpoint and not racial bias?

Now Espy is whining again about debates.

Obama's non-existent coattails were on display again.

Dear Chris McDaniel supporters, to those of you who will not be pouting at home during the runoff election, please consider Espy over CHS. You say she is a true Democrat. Mike Espy is moderate and his own person. He can work across the aisle to get things accomplished for us. Cindy, while I'm sure she is a nice person, is a political puppet and cannot do anything progressive for Mississippi.

I'm sure CHS will again be "too busy working in D.C." to attend a debate.

The countless blacks that have been murdered at the hands of white men that have not been accountable for those crimes.

That is indeed awful and a travesty. Just curious, what party were those unaccountable white men supporting as they murdered "countless blacks"?

That's right, Gertrude.

I wasn't alive back then. My vote is not based on racial bias, period. I know you don't believe me because you are driven by hatred. We've come to expect such from the left.

Are you equally upset over the countless blacks that have more recently been murdered at the hands of other blacks who have not been accountable for those crimes? Didn't think so.

11:56,

WTF are you talking about? Murder? Your logic says vote for Mike because some people were killed 50 years ago. It's 2018. I'm voting for whichever warm body will let me keep more of my hard earned money while protecting me and mine from the idiots that want to take it away...that includes criminals and politicians.

No thanks @1:18 PM. You can smoke that bad dope, I'm not. Espy will do what Schumer tells him to do. Espy is for open borders. Espy would have voted against Kavanaugh. Voted for McDaniel yesterday, voting for Hyde-Smith next. Haven't run into one McDaniel supporter today that says they're going to vote for Espy.

"In 2010, Obama lost 63 seats. In 1994, Clinton lost 52. You have to go all the way back to Reagan to find a Republican loss the same as Trump’s -- 26 in 1982. None lost their second term.

The shellacking Obama received in 2010 -- a nuclear explosion compared to 2018 -- was even more of an indictment of his presidency than we are seeing with Trump’s."

(whispers) No leaders in the Democratic Party support “open borders.” Obama deported 2.5 million people.

Every close Senate seat that Trump pitched for won except for Nevada, where Harry Reid still have tremendous clout.

November 7, 2018 at 10:49 AM

And Montana, which Trump held rallies in (at some not-insubstantial taxpayer expense, I'm sure) FOUR TIMES.

You hadn't had partisan gerrymandering of the modern computer mapping program-assisted sort in the '80s. But, you know, keep pulling out random bits of data and thinking they make sense on their face, with no context, nothing checked against them at all.

November 7, 2018 at 5:07 PM = Non-sequitur

Now that Bennie is the Godfather of Missippi Again, we can expect great things for The State.

November 7, 2018 at 8:58 AM
I do feel a childish delight. I work downtown thank you very much.
I have seen him in action. He neither has the temperament nor the moral compass to be a sitting judge.
Let me guess now, you must be one of his enabling cronies working in his office.
No matter I am unbelievably relieved he is out.

November 7, 2018 at 1:18 PM
do any of you remember espy being charged with 30 are so counts of receiving bribes?
He was found not guilty,however; his campaign manager was and Tyson was found guilty of paying espy a bribe.
If espy was doing that in Jackson,MS imagine what he will get into in Washington.
No way does he need to be sent there.
so what if CHS was once a Dem she apparently saw the error of her ways.

November 8, 2018 at 2:51 AM

I am sure you meant that as sarcasm
