CNN's Bash: Cochran Supporters Admit Dems Made the Difference

CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash stated that sources at Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-MS) victory party admitted that non-GOP voters probably put Cochran over the top in his primary campaign against Chris McDaniel. 

Bash reported from Cochran’s victory party in Jackson, MS that “the Cochran people here are saying that if this was just a truly Republican race, if the law here in Mississippi did not allow Democrats to vote, then he probably almost certainly would be losing to Chris McDaniel.”

Anchor Wolf Blitzer appeared to agree with this assessment, saying “a bunch of Democrats did show up and by all accounts, most of them at least voted for Thad Cochran.”
