Can you imagine the pain of having to use your private jet because you broke your thousand-dollar tablet and couldn’t stand a creaky drawer in your luxury RV?
Such is the rough life of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill.
Senator McCaskill’s phony campaign RV tour — parts of which she spent traveling on her private jet — definitively demonstrates how out of touch she is with hard working Missourians.
When confronted with evidence of her dishonesty about her private jet, McCaskill whined, "I added some stops with the use of the plane, but I was on the RV so much that the broken drawer drove me crazy. I even lost an iPad around a corner on the RV.”
Senator McCaskill believes a squeaky drawer and a busted iPad justify taking an expensive private plane on a supposed RV tour. Meanwhile, there are many Missourians who can’t even afford an iPad in the first place, much less a luxury RV or private jet.
McCaskill’s deep detachment from the lives of normal Americans is reflected not just by her travel arrangements, but more importantly, by her voting record.
For instance, she voted against President Trump’s historic tax cuts, which put money back in the pockets of working Missourians and their families. The President’s tax reform expanded the child tax credit, doubled the standard personal deduction, and reduced income tax rates across the board for the middle class.
Senator McCaskill tried valiantly to defend her use of a private plane. She said she shouldn’t have to apologize for “paying on my own dime to visit more Missouri veterans.” Maybe she should apologize for trying to deprive those veterans of the money President Trump’s tax plan saved them.
Tax reform isn’t the only area where Senator McCaskill demonstrates how out of touch she is with average Missourians.
The Senator voted against President Trump’s immigration compromise in February, even though two-thirds of Americans supported it. She also opposesthe President’s efforts to fix an international trade system that has seen American manufacturing and farming decimated by foreign cheating. This is why Missouri’s net farm income dropped from $3.2 billion dollars in 2008 to $1.5 billion by 2015.
McCaskill stood in the way of President Trump’s efforts to fix the country’s healthcare system that she and her Democratic peers messed up so badly. Thanks to Obamacare, individual health insurance premiums in the state rose by double digits this year.
McCaskill may like to pretend she’s not like the extreme members of her party who inhabit Washington D.C., New York, and San Francisco, but her voting record suggests otherwise.
For years, Democrats like Claire McCaskill have pretended to be the party of working people, all while creating conditions that have gutted America’s middle and working classes. McCaskill fought President Trump’s efforts to give money back to average Americans and is fighting his efforts to build an international market that is actually fair for American workers.
Unlike McCaskill and her Democratic colleagues, President Trump is actually working to make America a great place for all Americans, not just elite interest groups and wealthy senators who can afford to take a private plane on a “bus tour.”
President Trump is finally restoring hope to the forgotten Missourians the Democratic Party left behind. Don’t let Claire McCaskill and Chuck Schumer stand in the President’s way of making America and Missouri Great Again.
Special thanks to Todd Akin.
I was just in the southwest corner of Missouri the other day. Was visiting my cousins in Arkansas and driving through a small, nothing, backwater town in Missouri we saw a Mexican woman with 3 young children trailing behind walking down the road. My cousin says....look, they’re everywhere.
Monett, Missouri is akin to most any Mexican town. The chicken producers brought them here. By the hundreds. They now have their own radio/TV stations. Newspapers. Celebrations/parades honoring Mexican Holidays. A community within a community.
Attorney General Josh Hawley is running against her. But one would not know it....
“if it’s legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down”
- Todd Akin (R), reproductive science expert
We were down in the very southwest corner on some road heading back into Arkansas. Yes, chicken houses everywhere.
She might as well enjoy it while she can. In 2019, she will be gone.
I believe the plane is owned by her husband, who is a wealthy businessman.
She married well. Hubby in in real estate i seem to recall.
Sh-i Louis and kansas chity are not conservative at all. They control the state. Both were once pretty nice places.
Either:
Take the drawer out completely
Use parafin or a bar of hard soap to lubricate the drawer
Some of us grew up knowing these things, and WE never thought we were good enough to give orders or laws to others.
forget, McCaskill is a senator only because the Republican candidate decided to go full retard on the campaign trail. Never go full retard. And if you are already a full retard, don’t run for elective office as a Republican.””
That is not true. One phrase taken out of context and reinterpreted by the demrat media outlets does not make a good candidate a retard. Disgusting of you to pick up the demrat narrative.
The criminal elite, no wonder they are fight back so hard there about to lose their footing and dollars
Actually the stress hormones evoked by rape do have a very adverse effect on conception. Not every politician can be an expert scientist like Claire.
The "demrat" (really? are you twelve?) narrative cost Akin the election. A trap was laid and he blundered, full retard, right into it.
Am I supposed to say he was a great candidate? No! He was a LOSER!!!
Stop nominating losers like Troy Akin, Sharon Angle, Richard Mourdock, Christine O'Donnell, and Roy Moore who can't keep their Jesus-freaking yaps shut and throw perfectly winnable elections to Democrats!
Yep, I can definitely see the resemblance.
Why do ya think they call it Public Serve Us?
Josh Hawley is her republican opponent. Hawley is Stanford educated, currently the AG for Missouri, and the winner of the Hobby Lobby lawsuit.
We hear the demrat media narrative everyday, there is no need for you to add to it. Good candidates lose elections all the time. Did you know Missouri went for Obama? Since Claire won, does that make her a good candidate? Does the old media influence elections? See Obama and Hillary.
Try to DECEIVE everyone that you are one of the peeps by riding in a lowly, pedestrian bus for bothersome audiences with the serfs and curs where they actually exist or whatever (and and in shameless ostentation, to use veterans as props); and if caught flying in opulence in executive airplane between bus stops...
... simply tell major LIES about it.
Claire McCaskill...
...the only senator that considers her OWN STATE to be FLYOVER COUNTRY!
Her face could stop a charging bull.
