Huh. Another Democrat who is convinced that nothing is her fault. Color me shocked.
Born and raised in Missouri. The state has a democratic past, but that changed in the 1980’s. For the most part if a Republican has a good message,a conservative message he will win the election. If the Republican is not clear on what he stands for he will lose to a Democrat who talks a conservative message. But the problem with a Democrat is that no matter what they say in the state, they have to deal with the Washington party. This over time gets them into trouble back home. In Clare’s case it caught up with her. She should have lost 6 years ago. But the Republican running against her was a fool. That wasn’t the case this time. She lost. I am not sure a Democrat can win in this state unless they are running against an I’d.
