JACKSON, MISS– Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef hosted a media roundtable Monday following his return from the Republican Party meeting and debate in Cleveland. 

Nosef says there’s a lot going on for the GOP these days, and it’s mostly good.

“I’m proud to see our party unified,” says Nosef.

Even through the presence of mudslinging in the Republican primary, Nosef says there was a big difference this time around from the Senate primaries last year.

“The target was each other, not the party,” says Nosef. When asked about the outcome of the Democratic primary, which won unknown-until-then truck driver Robert Gray the democratic nomination for Governor, Nosef says he can’t figure it out any more than the democratic party can.

“I honestly don’t know what happened there,” Nosef says, “but the chaos on their side has invigorated the Republican party like ever before.” Nosef predicts a clean sweep for statewide elected offices, even the Attorney General’s office.

“I’m not saying Jim Hood won’t put up a fight,” says Nosef, “but I think Mike Hurst can win.”

When it comes to the presidential arena, Nosef says the atmosphere at the debate was electric.

“I hadn’t seen excitement like that since I sent my girls to a One Direction concert,” joked Nosef.

Nosef says of the political candidates, Bush, Christie, and Kasich, in his opinion, came out on top.

“And if people felt they couldn’t relate to Mitt Romney,” says Nosef, “Donald Trump is going to have the same problem.”
