Long, Schatz, and McCloskey need to drop. McCloskey's 15 minutes of fame have long since passed and his 3% in the polls isn't going to grow.
Missouri has same problem Calif & Nevada have.
Big cities of Liberals out vote larger rural areas with Conservatives.
You’re correct.
I personally like Billy Long. He’s my Rep and a good man. But the good old boy auctioneer shtick only goes so far. Schatz I know nothing about and McCloskey’s 15 minutes are over.
Those FBs were not “real” issue stuff. They looked like the blank loaded versions you can buy on Amazon and load with a 12ga or 5in1 pistol blank.
Maybe they were from a local PD who loaned the guys and gear for the ad?
Greitens went full retard on the 2nd Amendment:
It is because a lot of republicans are stupid, and easy to manipulate. McCaskill put million behind Todd Akin in the GOP primary because she knew low information voters would pick the worst candidate. Greitens in a classic sociopath - just interested in himself and power. People forget he was a democrat. He didn’t have any awakening other than it is easier to win in MO as a republican.

One semester while I was teaching at Washington University in St Louis, he asked me to help promote his own course to students, and soon thereafter, we bumped into each other on campus. He thanked me for “fighting for all the right things” in the Missouri Senate, where as a liberal St. Louis Democrat, I filibustered bills that would have restricted abortion, made English the state’s official language and prohibited undocumented college students from attending Missouri public universities.
Former Missouri Democratic Party Chairman Stephen Webber had a similar experience. When Webber initially ran for state representative in 2008 — the same year when Greitens and I taught university courses — he considered Greitens a friend and supporter with whom he often shared meals and conversation about public service. Greitens attended Webber’s campaign kickoff and offered to serve as a surrogate speaker. In 2017, shortly after Greitens became governor, Webber recalled Greitens’ past support for a more progressive America, and this past week, Webber told me, “I always remember that he was a really big Obama fan.”
Not only did Greitens drive to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver with former Gov. Bob Holden to witness Obama’s historic nomination, but he appeared to come away inspired: In early 2009, he began considering a bid for Congress against one of two Republican incumbents: U.S. Rep. Todd Akin in west St. Louis County or U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer in central and northeast Missouri. He first approached Missouri Democratic Party officials, and then traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top lieutenant at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Steve Israel, and top DCCC staff. Ultimately, with 2010 looking like a very rough cycle for Democrats, he declined to run.
As the state of Missouri continued its rightward shift over the next few years, Greitens apparently surveyed the landscape and decided to switch parties

Her record doesn’t support your allegation:

That's precisely what he did. He's the most non-genuine candidate in the race - not to mention the other baggage he carries and had to resign as governor in disgrace.
Wouldn't it be awful if we continued to have the success with the Supreme Court we've been having - the success that could not and would have occurred if you had had your way? Still depressed all your years of trying to get Democrats elected and the illogic behind it went up completely in smoke?
Absolutely absurd to suggest Hartzler's record has not been solidly conservative. I guess you'll never stop.
Is she pro-amnesty as suggested upthread?
We have enough Assistant Democrats.
Cornyn, Tillis, Grahamnesty have been vocal about amnesty, after their re-election, while Rubio and Hoeven are being quiet until they get re-elected.
Electing and re-electing Amnesty Senators will lose us our country.
I take it back, she seems solid on the issue that matters most.
Here ya go:
“A compassionate solution for the illegal immigrant population living and working in the United States can be accomplished without resorting to amnesty. Current illegal immigrants should not receive all the rights and privileges they would have been eligible for had they come legally. They should not be eligible for citizenship. To pardon lawbreakers and reward them with the objective of their crime is inappropriate and will accelerate the flow of illegal immigrants.”
https://hartzler.house.gov/legislative-work/issues/immigration
This is the classic RINO no-amnesty amnesty: they get to stay here legally ever after, but because (at least at this stage) they don’t advocate regular American citizenship for them, they try to claim that they are not supporting amnesty.
In case you need a refresher on the definition of amnesty: https://www.google.com/search?q=amnesty+definition
After what that corpulent pig did to Laura Loomer, he can drop dead.
Actually, Missouri looks an awful lot like America - it’s red everywhere, but the big cities have undue influence due to the 17th Amendment.
We need to repeal the 17th Amendment, and get back to the proper representative government we were meant to be - Senators being directly responsible to the state legislatures. A Constitutional Republic works, if only we get back to it.
That part is a completely academic argument until and unless the border is secure.
If you argue that statement alone makes her a RINO, that’s quite a weak argument.
Loomer brought that on herself disrupting a hearing that was in progress. You couldn’t tell her from a code pink activist.
Looking forward to seeing her defeat Dan Webster in FL, who should’ve retired a long time ago.
Nope. Someone who wants to legalize 50 million illegals and tell you she’s not peeing on your leg is a RINO.
To claim that she is against amnesty while being for amnesty is a RINO.
These positions are not academic—they are strong evidence that you are backing a lying RINO.
Schmitt seems like a great choice.
What the heck is wrong with people.
They have a good guy and ignore him.
That’s exactly where Hartzler stayed. This poll accurately gauged her level of support, but she gained no further support. Pretty much all of the undecides went with Schmitt.
