Same here. Thankfully we have closed primaries. I rarely vote in the primary for the repub most likely to win the primary. I do vote in the general for whichever repub won the primary.
Missourians tend to go all in on one person but there’s usually not this much of a selection. Greitens, Long, Hartzler, Schmidt. The latter three actually have political experience and have made it through multiple terms after being elected. Greitens couldn’t even make it through one term.
It’s going to come down to Hartzler or Schmidt. I’ve never liked grinning Greitens. If you read his bio, he was a real go getter with a big ego, a rising star and humanitarian, right up until he swapped from dem to repub and became governor. Then he blew his life up because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Couldn’t have made a better trojan horse if he was trying.
Between that and these new allegations, many ultra conservative Christians and any woman who’s gone through a divorce or had/has an ahole for a husband or even thinks they did/do, won’t be voting for Greitens.
He wasn’t “cleared” of ethics issues, they stopped the investigation when he agreed to resign. He cheated on his wife and got caught. Did he just cheat with one other woman? What if there’s a parade of women during the general election claiming to have had affairs with him. He exaggerates his seal status, he never commanded or served in a seal platoon. Listening to him he sounds charming, but he used to be a democrat and anti-second amendment. His ego could cost us a sure republican senate seat. Remember roy moore or todd adkin? He should drop out of race now.
