“Wow a conservative speaks her mind, gets abandoned by her party— wins anyway.”
Same thing happened here in Missouri. Sarah Steelman was the true Conservative candidate but lost in the primary. Why? The GOP establishment wanted to go with a Washington DC hack. And guess what? The hack lost and Missouri now has a dem governor.
She was better yes but she wouldn’t have won either. Blunt wouldn’t have won, that’s why he quit with his tail between his legs rather than stay and fight.
Jay Nixon is a douche. Have fun MO.
Enough with the RINOs if Dems are going to vote for a liberal they will vote for a dem. There is no reason for us to run one also.
And Steelman’s Treasurer seat went to a rodent. At least we held Hulshof’s seat.

Errr, the GOP primary VOTERS made the decision. I hate these comments that make it sound like it wasnt decided by voters. It was. And yes, the establishment candidate might get more money, but that never sways informed voters.
I’m sorry the Demo won and I’m sory you didnt put the other candidate up there.
