Republicans over the issue of race. so if youre a mississippian, youre sort of used to this language around race and dog whistling and signaling around race. but in the ernd, nd, it will li be the same outcome here. but certainly some warning signs, i think, for republicans in this state, and certainly i think probably some regrets that they did put forth cindy hyde-smith, who is a weak candidate and likely ended up in this position because mississippi is a state that has never had a woman befor...

Breathing room as possible to try to get some things done. but nothing is going to get done unless house democrats and senate republicans can actually come together on some issues. it doesnt appear that they can. but you can never say never. so operationally, this win is more important for someone like mitch mcconnell because he needed that extra republican senator. now, we all know that president trump is going to be tweeting and talking about how he delivered this race to cindy hyde-smith. wha...
