Bill Crawford: Presidential Primary Show Won't Make it to Mississippi

The national soap opera known as the Republican Presidential Primaries starring Donald J. Trump will likely be passé when it gets to Mississippi on March 12th

It will definitely be over if Trump, as nearly all predict, clobbers Nikki Haley in her home state of South Carolina on February 24th. (Gosh, even Sen. Tim Scott whom she appointed to the U.S. Senate as Governor has endorsed Trump.) That would make Super Tuesday on March 5th anticlimactic. So March 12th in Mississippi will be like watching reruns.

If Republican challengers in the Second and Fourth Congressional District and U.S. Senate primaries in Mississippi hoped large turnouts might spur upsets, they will likely be disappointed. Interestingly, Third District Congressman Michael Guest, who barely got into a runoff two years ago, has no opposition. First District Congressman Trent Kelly also escaped primary opposition.

In the Fourth District, incumbent Rep. Mike Ezell will be challenged by Diamondhead resident Carl Boyanton and Gulfport native Michael McGill. Boyanton is going at it for the third time. He finished fourth in 2020 with 7,533 votes and fifth in 2022 with 3,224 votes.  

In the Second District, Raymond resident Ron Eller, Foxworth resident Andrew Scott Smith, and Jackson resident Taylor Turcotte will seek to become the next Republican nominee to challenge Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson. This will be Eller’s second try. He finished third in the 2022 GOP primary with 4,564 votes.

Sen. Roger Wicker will face two opponents in his primary – state Rep. Dan Eubanks of Walls and Tishomingo County resident Ghannon Burton.

There should be even less excitement in the Mississippi Democratic primaries. President Joe Biden has no opponent in the presidential primary. Vicksburg resident Ty Pinkins, who got 41% of the vote against Secrectary of State Michael Watson in November, has no opponent in the Democratic senate primary. Rep. Bennie Thompson has no opposition in the Second District. Gulfport resident Craig Elliot Raybon has no opposition in the Fourth District. 

The only actual contest on the Democratic Primary ballot is the First District race between Olive Branch resident Dianne Dodson Black and Hernando resident Bronco Williams. Black won the Democratic nomination in 2022 but lost to Rep. Trent Kelly in the general election with 27% of the vote.

While the Republican Presidential Primaries soap opera will cool off soon, Trump’s Judge Judy series will be getting hotter as his numerous appeals reach the Supreme Court.    

On a side note, Mississippi University for Women will not become Mississippi Brightwell University. President Nora Miller is now working to find an acceptable name starting with “W.”  This is too reminiscent of President Claudia Limbert’s failed effort in 2009.  

“Let no one deceive you with empty words” – Ephesians 5:6.

Biden's sheeple have been seen dropping off ballots at 100s of cemeteries around the country. Kamala has been reading up on Arkansiding.

Trump will not be the nominee. A large number of his supporters (sadly very few in MS) finally will realize that he is a serial liar, fraud, and womanizer who should be in prison.

Please tell us who the GOP and DNC has that is better than Trump?
Sorry but I’m not voting for Israel’s Paid Sock Puppet (Nikki Hailey) who is also a liar.
Vivek and DeSantis have both taken the knee and kissed Donald’s ring.
Perhaps you are just a delusional leftoid NPC.

January 28, 2024 at 12:26 PM, yes, we will be voting for that bastion of virtue, and morality, Joe Biden. That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

The Republican Party under trump is turning into the white nationalist party and yes many republicans reject that this is what has become of the grand old party.

12:26: Your description fits Joe Biden to a T. What a county.

Hey 12:26, being a serial liar, fraud and womanizer would have disqualified every President in the 20th and 21st Century sans Truman and Reagan.

Actually, Mr. Crawford, "in the Fourth District, incumbent Rep. Mike Ezell will be challenged by Diamondhead resident Carl Boyanton and Gulfport native Michael McGill, a democrat who is running as a republican".

Dang, 12:26, at first, I thought you were talking about your boy, twice elected Bill Clinton, who meets this description to a 'T'. "A large number of his supporters finally will realize that he is a serial liar, fraud, and womanizer who should be in prison.

Sounds like a description of Crawford or Salter.

Michelle O gearing up to run for president. Look for a May announcement.

@12:26, He already is the nominee. Haley just hadn’t admitted it yet.

Trump being a serial liar, fraud, and womanizer is the equivalent of Biden being a dementia ridden puppet, profiteering traitor, and pedophile. I’d take the former over the later any day of the week.

@6:28 It will be in August. She can't stand the extended scrutiny.

6;25 PM, my thoughts exactly! I tune in every week just for the verse Crawford gives us to justify his support for the leftist party he lap dog’s/provides cover for as they destroy cities like Jackson.

So-called journalists and professors sure don’t let a few dead children get in the way of their support for Chokwe et al in exchange for the votes ole Preston got and other leftist Dems get come statewide and general election time, do they?

It is not making any one who hasn't drunk the " party Kool Aid" happy to choose between two men too damn old for the job.

The choice is between obnoxious crazy uncle or benign fumbling uncle with the speech impediment from childhood who at least has some actual results on his side economically and knows a dictator when he meets one.

And, while some of us understand isolationism, we see how that has become more or less impossible since WWII and it didn't help much then in terms of how many of more of us had to die to stop dictators who got too big for their britches.

You claim to hate immigration and yet your crazies would rather win an election than give this President the ability to close the border as that would take away an issue you need. Worse, your party " leaders" decide to wreck strong economies that have generated the most tax dollars...many of which keep Mississippi from being worse off.

I want every President we have to be successful and I don't give two hoots in hell what his party is. I care about whether he has policies that are realistic and that make our country stronger and more prosperous.

I want him to understand that a strong middle class is essential in any country as is keeping international problems away from our shores. That last part is done by helping allies not shooting them in the back.

And, IF the Orange idiot had closed our borders in Dec of 2019 and quarantined our citizens coming back from overseas right away rather than worry about his hotel tourist business, we might have avoided bringing Covid to our doors. He had a whole manual on how to do that with the least impact at his chubby fingertips but he doesn't READ!

Pfft. Who needs or cares about nominees when elections are simply rug-pulled? "Sacred democracy," indeed.

But I will nevertheless turn out to vote for the opponent running against the Distinguished Senator for Tel Aviv, Roger Wicker, even whether the candidate be a resurrected Heinrich Himmler.

Leftist Democrats having a problem with Trump’s immorality (serial liar, fraud, womanizer, etc.) while being A-okay with JOE Biden is typical.

About the same as leftist Democrats being triggered by the lyrics in the song “Baby its Cold Outside” while remaining silent on the lyrics from Rap singers like Cardi B’s “WAP” song:

“Whores in this house
There's some whores in this house
There's some whores in this house
There's some whores in this house (hol' up)
I said certified freak, seven days a week
Wet a__ p___y, make that pullout game weak, woo! (Ah)”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you f___ing with some wet a__ p___y
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet a__ p___y
Give me everything you got for this wet a__ p___y


This country has become a laughing stock freak show when Trump’s morals are being question by leftist Democrats while their “Big Guy Biden” is in office. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SO disappointed in Tim Scott. What a suckup. Expected it from Ramaswamy and DeSantis. Do any of them really think that Trump would give them the VP position?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
