Jackson Jambalaya

Not only is he a do-nothing in the legislature, he is about to prove he is a political whore. He and Waller are polar opposites on policy, yet he is going to endorse Waller. Makes his entire political persona of “I don’t owe anyone anything” seem a little weak and shallow. Bottom line - he is a hypocrite, period!

Good riddance Foster.

He just can't let go of his brief moment in the limelite. He needs to get back to tending that hot-dog cooker at the Texaco. It's plumb out of mustard.

Foster surprised me and made the most sense on the debate stage.

He's terrified of having to go back and tend that farm......not his calling, and what's to do what HE wants to do.....which is not work....hence his political efforts.

Am I the only one who doesn’t get the title of this post?

If he has any hope of a political future, he will endorse the winner because the winner will have a massive campaign fund in four years and he also has a long memory.

From the comments above, I’d say Tater’s troops are scared.

Little Lord Fauntleroy is going to speak?

Oh my heavens

Whatever shall we do?

Ohhhh.the tots are testy this morning.

Methinks the Tater Lovers doth protest too much

This dude trying to be the kingmaker when he didn't even crack 18% of the vote. This is a good way to be put in a corner for 8 years. Desoto going to Desoto I guess.

Foster got 18% of vote in 2019. McDaniel got 17% of the vote in 2018. Other than difference in Desoto County, votes appear to come largely from same area of the state - the Pine Belt.

McDaniel yesterday strongly endorsed Tate, despite his session long disagreements with him personally. But pointing out that Tate is the only conservative in the race, based on their stated policy positions.

Which carries more (if any) influence with this group of voters - Chris or Robert?

J. Tate Reeves is as goofy as they get. Never met the other two.

Whoever he endorses will win. Foster folks will stick with him and believe in him. He ran a social media campaign so one click and they are on board. I’m a Tate fan but I know if we don’t get this endorsement it is over.

When he cuts that frat boy hair of his I might take him seriously.

Robert who?

Foster has a bright political future in MS. Exciting to see him endorsing Waller.

Has Bill Waller told us yet which taxes he'd "swap" in exchange for a gas tax increase?

Of course he hasn't because he doesn't have a clue nor an actual plan.

#NOPlanBill

You have to give him props, he got a sizeable portion of the vote without running a single tv ad. I like a candidate who can be effective on the cheap.

Lot of Taters hot and bothered over someone they claim wasn't a factor.

Who cares, as soon as they get into office they're going to do what's politically expedient and economically beneficial to them and their supporters. The legislature, governor's and lt. governor's offices are where good ideas go to die.

6:10 am Maybe some people care more about the future of Mississippi ( that would include their own children) than a political future.

If you actually are among those who define success by one's wallet or work , then you don't know many rich people or those who put work above all else and discover that they are replaceable in the work place.

If you're in a runoff, you want the endorsement of any candidate you beat. And if you're a defeated candidate, you should have the good sense to endorse the eventual winner. The only reason Foster should endorse Waller would be that he's either stupid or delusional. He certainly won't be doing any favors for Desoto County if he endorses Waller. But hey, 2028 isn't that far away I guess.

Foster endorses Waller. Waller loses. Foster returns to his life of political irrelevancy. He has no "bright political future" because there is nowhere to go.

Wow, some people on here are relentlessly negative. I do not understand the hate for Foster. I didn’t vote for him, but have interacted with him several times and think he is a nice, earnest, and reasonable person. He ran a good campaign considering he had little resources and no name recognition. I wish him the best with whatever he decides to do next.

Again Tater couldn't even carry his own County or voting precinct.

Just stick a fork in ol' Tater tot, he's done.

Goodness! Judging from these posts, the Tate toddlers are out in force.

With Tate now slinging mud against Waller, it shows that Reeves is worried. Mudslinging will hurt Reeves.

8:14, he has. Reduction in income taxes. I believe he has floated the idea of reducing the nation’s highest grocery taxes. I know Hood has. I thought conservatives like use based taxes.

When Tate got on stage and proclaimed that a gas tax would harm working people, I did some quick math. I drive a Duramax with a 35 gallon tank. For argument’s sake, lets say I fill it up 5 times a month. 175 gallons a month times 12 months equals 2100 gallons. A 3 cent increase will cost me $63 a year, and I’m running more fuel through my truck than most folks. I’ll gladly donate $63 a year to fix our shit roads and unsafe bridges.

11:47 Tax money for roads and bridges? Hell, we spend enough already, look at Jackson, they didn't spend the good taxpayers hard earned money on roads and bridges and they get along just fine!

Uh, 7:35 AM, that's a no-brainer - Foster!
McDaniel has zero credibility.

Please re-read the post at 11:47. Twice.

Seems like most of you just like slinging mud--makes me sick; but hey I guess that is what politics has become. So now it is my turn to say how I really think. And since this is anonymous and I don't have to worry about my "title" or "position" I am going to do just that--and enjoy it.

Soooo here goes

I HIGHLY supported Foster--since December. Not because I ever thought he'd win--I really didn't. I thought he may get 8%, which he exceeded. I supported him because he is a TRUE pro-lifer (hello....the heartbeat bill...yall need to study where that really came from--it wasn't Tot). I supported him because he is GENUINE and actually stands up for what he believes in. #MTMR #NOREGRETS. I supported him because TATE IS HORRIBLE and no one likes his terrible intimidation tactics. Trust me, I am on the "inside" loop as some would say and Foster's supporters will ALL turn out to vote Waller because each of them HATE TATE. Will all of Tate's original voters turn out--I can promise you they won't.

Waller's voters will. I say Waller wins and Tate goes to D.C. to lobby and do work for Haley. He would be better off that way anyway and he fits in with those do-no-good-only-care-about-myself people.

I will never vote for Tate--personality matters (I believe I've posted that on JJ before);and in this case, personality will make him lose. I mean wake up people, he lost his OWN HOME box. That should scream loud and clear at how crooked and disliked he is.

PRAYERS THAT WALLER WINS. LET FRONTIER DO THEIR MAGIC!
