no its not because of his strong pro-life stance, its because of his political incompetence and his idiotic rape stance.
he is now more toxic that COD and will hurt his party and his causes.
I get the feeling that he’s doing a political wind check and he’ll watch the polls and the response he gets over the next couple of weeks, I also feel like McCaskill will hold off until that Sept 25 deadline approaches, if he’s still on the ballot, she’s going to go nuclear on him.
Ideally the left desperately WANTS him on the ballot, but I don’t think they necessarily want to fully unload on him until that deadline passes and no further changes could be made to the ballot, but the longer he stays on, the less chance a newer candidate would have to run on anything other than “I’m not Claire McCaskill”, which considering the level of McCaskill’s incompetence, could possibly just be enough.
