Rep. Ike Skelton endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, wading into the presidential fray after months on the sidelines.

Operation Chaos and Operation Big Ratings for Hannity is leading superdelegates to jump to Hillary.

This isn’t ending in a tempest in Denver but a triumphant Hillary victory in the middle of May.

Missouri is a key battleground state, no matter which Democrat faces the RINO relic.

That’s the sorry sumbitch who got the Army Surveying school relocated from Ft. Belvoir, VA to Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. I could’ve had weekends running around Washington, DC. Instead, I got to see the, uhhh, woods of Missouri.

Skelton’s never held a job outside of government.
