Look, I know what everyone here thinks about Democrats especially in the South, especially in Mississippi. This guy seems to get it, when I see what he is putting out on Twitter.
Bandon Presley out of Tupelo - Seems like an interesting candidate for Governor

I would really like the opportunity to vote against Tate, but unfortunately my only other option is a Democrat.
Look at it from the other side (a. k. a., I fixed your post for you).
Let's Go Brandon.
It had to be done

Good to get name recognition for down the road, but Tate has it locked up this round and Delbert the next round (if he wants it). MS's demographic will continue to shift and eventually a democrat will be a viable state-wide candidate. I'm talking 15-20 years or more.
Not if they don’t distance themselves from the far left.
I think he will be a solid candidate, is getting big democrat $$, and other
Tate hating republicans will vote for him. He should dump the Medicaid issue though. Tate/ Bryant corruption is the play there for him.
Delbert is in his late 70s now. Personally I’d rather not have a governor starting his first term at 80 years old. But we’ll need a good candidate or I worry that opens the door for someone like McDaniels to make a real run.
I haven’t really researched Presley but can’t see him doing any better than Jim Hood did. He’s popular here in north MS but rest of the state doesn’t seem to know who he is.
If he has a D by his name, it doesn’t matter how center of the road his policies are, He will be tied to the Far Left Communists in that Party. As he should be. If you want to be a Democrat, claim it all the way! You ARE what you ARE by association in politics.
Dude needs to run as an independent if he wants any chance at winning.
Piss poor name recognition, I don't care who the fifth cousin is.
Tate beat Jim Hood who had more money and a much more visible public service record by over 5%. He'll destroy this guy.
Ain't no Big $ Dems throwing money at a state wide race in Mississippi. They'll give some for show, but he's not going to have 20% of what Tate could spend to win.
He won't be able to run his messaging through the GOP controlled state media machine and the turn out is going to be incredibly low.
Tate's got this locked down.

What I mean is shifting demographics. The African American population in MS increased by 2% from 2010 to 2020 to almost 40%, while the population as a whole decreased. So another 2% increase over the next decade, then another 2% increase over the next decade puts the African American percentage close to 45%. That'd be enough to make state-wide elections interesting, as a percentage (10-20%) of white voters are going to vote democrat. African Americans vote democratic 75% of the time.
I think the "brain drain" out of MS is also going to pick up dramatically over the coming years.
I don't want to like your comment but I'm in 100 percent agreement with you here.
That’s a pretty unfortunate way of looking at people. David Duke ran as a Republican Senate candidate in 2016. I wouldn’t assume that means Roger Wicker is in any way aligned with David Duke, but based on your logic, they should be.
Throwing the most extreme far right/left examples of a person’s party is just creating a boogeyman/strawman and exacerbates the divisive bullsнit we see daily.
And what's wrong with that, Dawgg?
This is still America, ain't it? with a little Confederacy thrown in for good measure... if you know what me and Tommy Tuberville mean.
I know him and he's a blow hard and a douche. Eff him. Cut thru all his bs. He's still a democrat.
It ain't gonna matter who wins in 4 - maybe 8 - years because of what you describe in your last sentence.
I am a white, Christian, heterosexual, conservative, capitalistic, America loving, law enforcement backing, gun owning male. The Democratic party has shown nothing but animosity towards my "type" for the last 15 years and therefore I feel nothing but animosity for them.
And it will be all downhill from there. Look at Jackson and every single small city in Mississippi with a predominantly democratic population. Not pretty with no chance of recovery. When the democrats take over, the town dries up..much like this state will. People will move because of the inevitable poor decisions. It happened to my home town.

do a good job researching before voting for Brandon..we are friends for a very long time, but he is dyed to the wool democrat..if you listen to his campaign promises, he sounds just like Biden,(he will change this day one, etc) when he has absolutely no power to do any of it. The legislature in Mississippi holds all the power, and with a democrat governor, you will see liberal democrats appointed to every position in the state(think city of Jackson and their democratic governance)..with a super majority Republican legislature, a democrat has exactly zero chance of getting anything done(thankfully)
Any chance Delbert resigns after he is re-elected and another crony is appointed to fill the term? Grooming the next governor if Delbert is too old?
Brandon Presley is a good dude. He graduated from State and moved home to Nettleton. He ran for mayor of a dying town and he brought it back to life. Yes, he is the second cousin of Elvis Presley. He maybe a Democrat, like many Southern Democrats he’s a physical conservative. He works with businesses, and believes in the little guy. Give him an ear. He’ll impress you.
We are a divided country and we always will be. But if you think conservatives are going to accept all the Satanic driven crap the Democrats have fallen in love with, sorry. It ain’t happening.
I vote GOP nationally ( not a trumper ).
But I wish RFK Jr could be the Dem candidate instead of the senile ol man joe bidone. his cognitive functioning has severely failed him
I haven't read most of the comments, but I keep up with MS politics closely.....Brandon Presley has a less than 5% chance of winning IMO....Jim Hood had the best chance at beating Tater and couldn't....The no 1 issue MS (and most conservative democrats) have at the present moment, is they take money from the Democratic National Party, and have to tote that water pail....the national democratic party has gone bat siht, far-left crazy, and that makes it hard for normal democrats to do anything in conservative districts....
The only threat to Tater, is Tater himself....one thing to always remember about conservative republicans: they will step across and vote democrat just out of spite if you piss them off......but a democrat will never step across and vote republican if you piss them off...(ex the senator from Alabama before Tuberville)....
I wish Delbert was a little younger, this is his last rodeo and i like him a lot...
Chris McDaniel can go 17 himself....he is a piece of 17'in siht.....I'll never forget what he did to Thad Cochran in that race, and later the siht show he did while trying to change the state flag ......17 him....I would vote democrat over him (see what i did there?)

True words here banker. He's the kinda guy that pretends to be the smartest guy in the room when it's apparent he's not. Believe me, I've seen it.
Brought what back to life? Nettleton? You're shitting me, right? Same damn town it was 40 years ago. Tell me what's changed? Plus, he'd bend over backwards to lick a bead of sweat off Bennie Thompson's nut sack.
Yep. Sadly, many of us may have to retire elsewhere because we will not have enough "people infrastructure" in MS, particularly in health care.
Obama getting elected broke so many brains. It's sad.
Are there really any far left democrats in state office? I would imagine most in MS are more moderate than far left.
It may be 20 years or more, but democrats will eventually take MS. The etires State will become Greenville (minus the tamales).
Does he believe in tax payer funded abortion and genital mutilation of children like other Democrats?
