For governor of Mississippi over a trial attorney and a doctor. I see the Dems are bringing out the big guns. He didn't even vote. Didn't have time.

Ikr. I don't mind citizen politicians at all.

Good. He might actually have an idea what it's like to be middle class.

My god, if I lived in Mississippi I'd just make a bee-line for the nearest border and escape that terrible state. Now what's this about a truck driver?

Just proves that people in both parties are tired of being jerked around by career politicians.

Well certainly there is no possible way that this dude actually knows what he's talking about. He's not one of the same few guys that have been battering the country with bullshit after all.
Personally, I like when a citizen gets fed up enough to run for office. This guy won? Good for him...maybe he can actually make a difference in his state. Or he'll be a failure...in which case we can just start calling him a politician.
