I read a couple of pieces earlier that named Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley.
They seemed to think he could beat her because of the Republican support for President Trump.
I know nothing about Missouri politics.
Hawley is pretty good. He would wipe her off the map.
Recent MO politics are a bloodbath for liberals. Until recently Missouri was legitimately purple. Now it’s solid red and in 2016 the republicans won *every* executive branch elected position. The governors race was odd; Greitens (republican) was a political newcomer who used to be a democrat. His democrat opponent was Chris Koster, who was once a republican and received the NRA endorsement. Koster always came off as highly conservative especially as a democrat. Greitens won by 6 points. If Koster had been a far lefty he’d have lost by the sort of margins Clinton did against Trump for President in MO.
Claire McCaskill is probably the second biggest jackass in the state. She’s exceeded only by Todd Akin, the only person in Missouri stupid enough to find a way to lose to McCaskill in 2012.
McCaskill is toast in the mid terms. Most any decent republican who can avoid the spectacular verbal gaffes of Akin will beat her. If Hawley runs, he will *annihilate* her at the polls.
