will drive Cochrane further to the right, so it will be the same as McDaniels winning. If Cochrane loses in the general to McDaniels as a 3rd party, or the Dem, MS still suffers since the state will lose the various committees that funneled money into the state. If Cochrane holds he will start slashing and burning the state to appease his critics on the right.

Pretty much a zero sum game.
