I use to think Missouri was a red state. Apparently not with Nixon and mccaskill. Maybe ordinary citizens will wake up. No one wants a ferguson in their state.
In truth, if you take out both St. Louis and Kansas City, the rest of the state would go RED very fast.
They are generally red, but easily fooled. They vote on personal issues and irrelevancies, and like to consider themselves in the middle on everything, Missouri being a state in the middle, with influences for all 4 corners of the nations. So, you come up with memes that wouldn’t work elsewhere about why someone is bad, and then you can have conservative voters vote for Nixon or McCaskill. I screamed at a high school friend of mine about this when McCaskill got elected. He was a republican, but wouldn’t vote for the Republican because of some stupid comment that meant nothing to what the Senate works on and does to us. I told him Missouri voters are just stupid, and are unable to see below the surface.
