Thot Aikin is Karl Rove's boy (to the tune of $millions), whereas Steelman, who lost the primary, is a Tea Party person.
I'm not to the bottom of it yet (so to speak), but I think internal Missouri divisions are behind some of that.
Not sure what Aikin was trying to accomplish when he popped off, but he sure didn't have his ducks in a row, when he brought up a MAJOR 'Rat theme and message to barren women (who contribute heavily to the DNCCC and are Wasserman-Schultz fangirls) and tried to walk through a fresh thought. He didn't have his position prepped, IMHO, and tried to wing it on the spur of the moment -- and fell flat.
You guys have become democrats. Not one of you has even the tiniest crumb of courage and have earned the beating you’re going to get.
