Here’s what I’m thinking to make myself feel better:
It’s MISSOURI house election, no affect nationally, .... yet.
We don’t know the particulars, i.e., what kind of a campaign was it. Very often dims talk a lot like conservatives when they are running. We know how sneaky they are.
or the republicans didn’t realize there was an election.
That’s my rationale and I’m sticking with it.
The Greitens tied-up-his-mistress business is having a negative effect on the repug party in Misery.
