Outgoing Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill did not pull any punches in a recent interview, blasting her party for not empowering moderate Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.
Recapping her Senate career with Rachel Martin on NPR's "Morning Edition," McCaskill called her loss a "failure" to bridge the gap between the Democratic Party and Americans in rural areas. Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley unseated McCaskill, ousting the Democrat after two terms.
"This demand for purity, this looking down your nose at people who want to compromise, is a recipe for disaster for the Democrats," McCaskill said. "Will we ever get to a majority in the Senate again, much less to 60, if we do not have some moderates in our party?"
McCaskill added that House Democrats would be wise to be "very cautious and careful" when using their newfound power to investigate and probe the Trump administration.
"They've got to be careful with their oversight that it does not dwarf their messaging about how much we want to get done for the people of this country," she said. "If we focus on just going after Trump, then he has his foil."
She added that continuing to hammer Trump has not necessarily moved the needle in terms of converting his supporters, demanding a different approach than Democrats have taken during his first two years in office.
"He clearly will never take any responsibility for any mistakes he's made," she said. "And frankly, a lot of his mistakes have been pointed out, and it hasn't really moved a lot of the voters we need to move."

Those “crazy Democrats” are far more dangerous than she lets on, aren’t they.
Goodbye to bad rubbish!
Purity in their quest for borderless one-world communism.
the only formula that works is voter fraud.
If they can’t win it, they’ll steal it.
With the rinos and neverTrumpers, why would they need to?
Kudos to her for speaking out on the crazies.
Don’t worry Claire, your pals across the aisle, Rubio, Alexander, Graham, Hoeven, Murkowsky, etc., will work to provide the Democrats a permanent majority as soon as they are rid of Trump.
Huh. Another Democrat who is convinced that nothing is her fault. Color me shocked.
Preach it, Claire!
Let them hear the real you.
Democrat hag, liar, Obama-hugger, big mouth.
Be gone, witch.
So far, all we are seeing is what Democrats want to get done for the people of other countries.
What messaging about how much Democrats want to do for the country is she talking about? I haven't heard any such messaging from the Democrats in forever. When they are not attacking Trump, they are attacking the idea that we have a right to protect our borders, promoting sloth by stealing from those who work, etc. Clearly, Democrats do not care about the American people and would rather just have us out of the way. And they are not going to listen to Claire McCaskill or anyone else who suggests that they should concentrate on the people instead of their own power.

The same can be said about “purist Republicans”, i.e. Jeff Flake.
Clair is a through and through Commie, her protestations notwithstanding.
Yeah, but she votes with the crazies. Talk is cheap.
Huber is just getting around to interviewing the first witness???
