Josh Hawley Running for Claire McCaskill's Missouri Senate Seat

Weekly Standard ^ | 10/10/17 | Andrew Egger

[fungoking]

McCaskill's biggest fear. Hawley is solid, won the attorney General race with nearly 60% of the vote. Weekly Standard is wrong, Missouri republicans will unite behind Hawley and against McCaskill.

Stick a fork in Claire, she's done.

[KSCITYBOY]

Let’s hope

[Joe Boucher]

Hopefully she sees the writing on the outhouse walls and retires.

Hawley has to beat my guy first...

Is Weakly Standard still Never-Trump?

Missouri went for Donald Trump by approx. 20 its! Danforth does not call the shots in MO. He has been gone from the Senate for 22 years. He is 81. Say goodnight John.

[Freedom56v2]

I read this:

Hawley has already found himself a flashpoint in tensions over the president: When Trump announced plans to visit Missouri in August, former senator John Danforth, a Hawley supporter, wrote an op-ed condemning him as a “hateful man” and “the most divisive president in our history.” Danforth called on Hawley to denounce Trump; pro-Trump figures called on Hawley to denounce Danforth. Hawley did neither.

Has Hawley made any comment about Danforth’s attack on Trump? If not, why not? He better if he wants to get the “Deplorable” vote.

Oops. Democrat Sen McCaskill denies meeting Russians----McCaskill Tweets She Has Never Met or Called Russian Ambassador. But Past Tweets State Otherwise and so does this pic.

Sen Claire McCaskill (far right) and then-Sen Mary Landrieu meet the Russian Ambassador (left--gray-haired).

====================================================

DATELINE August 2015----America's in the throes of Hillary's presidential aspirations (groan).

WASHINGTON DC […] Top diplomats from Russia and China joined a rare meeting of world powers’ envoys on Capitol Hill this week with roughly 30 Senate Democrats to tamp down concerns over Obama's [Iran] nuclear agreement.

[…] During the meeting (which was confirmed to Foreign Policy magazine by an aide to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)), a number of Democrats expressed genuine confusion about how world powers would react if Congress rejected the [Iran] deal. […]

On Thursday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) alluded to the meeting […] Other lawmakers attending the briefing included Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Chris Coons of Delaware, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Claire McCaskill, and others.

I’ll see who Bannon recommends. That slick Sykes (who I don’t know from Adam) commercial is fairly “over the top” & I’d recommend his professional handlers tone it down just a bit — the reverb is overwhelming.

McCaskill was instrumental in getting around the natural-born citizenship requirement for B-HO.

[SoFloFreeper]

Crush her. Get millennials used to voting for conservatives.

A bigly win.

[bgill]

McCaskill was on the SR 511 committee, along with Soetoro and Hellary, to vet McPain. She has tried time and again to get the NBC for POTUS thrown out of the Constitution. The committee agreed the DEFINITION of NBC is born on US soil of TWO US parents. Somehow, she and the other clowns failed to vet or apply that DEFINITION to Soetoro. The sooner she’s gone, the better we’ll all be.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I Hawley the best we got? Something tells me he’s getting a jump on the competition while this Corker ‘skit’ is in the news.

Ann Wagner would have a better chance of beating her. She’s a woman, former Ambassador, and has a son in the military. Danforth is a premier RINO and given Trump’s popularity here, is ruining Hawley’s career by trying to micro-manage him.

Ex-Trump strategist Steve Bannon backs Hawley, bringing insurgent stamp and controversy

[donozark]

Thanks for link! A good one!

[CMSMC]

It appears to be Kristol’s attempt to get ahead of Bannon. ought to be interesting.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wagner is the most liberal Republican overall in the MO delegation. 78% lifetime Conservative rating. That would be a “C-” moderate.
