My questions are: Will the Republicans use this against her in the next election and will the voters who supported her, vote for her again?

Please nobody post pictures of this woman. I’d rather sleep with the Seahag from the Popeye cartoons.

Wonder why Claire isn’t making any comments about Ferguson?

McCaskill doesn’t want Trump to trash Clinton’s corruption like McCaskill’s thug husband and all the things he’s been involved in. Whether Trump wins or not she wants Trump to shut up.

Where is McCaskill now? She’s a nobody in the Senate. The real liberal heroes are Mitch McConnell & Johne McCain helping push a liberal agenda.

Akin, Mourdock, Christine O’Donnell and others stopped amnesty.

Akin’s buddy Steve King trolled Karl Rove for a year in Iowa while bashing “electable” Gowdy and the other RINOs pushing amnesty.

I give credit to King, Sessions, Vitter, Akin, Trump and Huckabee for killing congressional amnesty.

The fact that Trump or Huckabee threatened third party runs over different issues scared the GOPE.

Stroke of genius or just a slimy bitch? Both in my book.

Wrong! Todd Akin was electable, and in fact, he was leading in the polls until Karl Rove opened his fat mouth and disrespected him on national TV.

Oh,really. Akin was so electable that the voters actually heard Rove and changed their opinion because of him?

You give too much credence both to Akin and to Rove.

“PPP also polled and had him ahead. I wonder how much they were paid by the rats for that”

Yep.. I remember that well. A few days after Akin blew up his campaign with that “legitimate rape” comment, PPP had him one point ahead of McCaskill... BUT it was with an R+9 sampling... hardly representative of the political balance of MO. PPP, a dem outfit, was doing its portions to fool Akin into staying in the race.

McCaskill is atrocious.

Missouri, how could you have re-elected such a dolt.

Akin probably wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed...but Claire????? Puh-leeeze. She is the midwestern Patty Murray. And that ain’t a compliment.

I live in Missouri. This state is roughly 1/3 liberal, 1/3 republican, and 1/3 those so called “independent”. St. Louis and KCMO metro areas are liberal covens... Then there are the smaller cities/college sanctuaries. Sarah came to Mo., and campaigned for Steelman. But Akin won the primary.

Akin was clueless in how the words “legitimate rape” would sound to those so called independents. Akin had to have the majority of those so called “ independents” to win. He was in over his head. I still voted for the idiot, but, I am not part of that so called “independents” bunch. Akin sunk himself, regardless of what Nursing home Claire claims!

I caught “whatever” snarls when I tried to point out, that Akin had to have the independents to win!

Akin said it. Rove did not write the script. Stupid is as stupid does.

Absolutely! they did not care about Akin’s record which is very conservative...I hope they are happy with McCaskill. Akin would have voted with Cruz and etc. Idiots in MO

Akin was the idiot! No self respecting independent was going to vote for an old geezer using the words “legitimate rape”! Akin was not wise, he ignored a senate election was statewide, not his tiny house district. Akin is responsible for his loss. Has everybody forgotten what conservatism is.... Personal responsibility!
