Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill and Republican opponent Josh Hawley faced off in their first debate Friday afternoon. The two spent much of the debate attacking each other, with Hawley finishing several answers by calling McCaskill a "Washington liberal" out of touch with Missouri values. Both candidates emphasized their relationships with President Trump, with Hawley embracing Trump talking points on immigration and other issues, and McCaskill trying to assert her independence from both the president and the Democrats. "I'm the only candidate in this race that has a proven track record of bipartisan accomplishments," McCaskill said.
"What Missourians want is a senator who hasn't forgotten where he's from," Hawley said in his opening statement. He accused McCaskill of being a partisan actor and an antagonist to Mr. Trump, who won Missouri by 19 points in 2016. McCaskill is considered to be one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in the Senate this year.

Do you not get embarrassed saying nonsense like this? You really believe for starters that the Supreme Court being in far left hands now and for decades to come is only a minor issue? You really think Schumer would have blocked Garland from being confirmed and then used the nuclear option to get Gorsuch on the Court? Really, there's no difference in your mind? Why don't you try thinking before you speak?
Mitch McConnell controls the Senate PAC money. Could be that DeSantis is a conservative.
What sense does this make? DeSantis isn't a candidate for Senate or any Federal office. What does McConnell controlling or not controlling the Senate PAC money have to do with DeSantis in any shape, manner, or form?
I understand the issues with McConnell - that doesn't mean you spew nonsense like this just to attack for the sake of attacking.
The RNC has nothing to do with that one way or the other. Moreover, the current RNC leadership is Trump appointed. The RGA is in fact fully supporting DeSantis and their ads are already on the air.
Ryan cannot stop anyone from donating to any candidate.
I went to the RGA website and they are in fact already on the air to support DeSantis’ campaign: https://www.rga.org/rga-launches-first-tv-ad-florida-governors-race-far/

Married name.
Did she not remarry after she lost Mr. McCaskill?
Mitch and Haley Barber railroaded Chris McDaniel in Mississippi. Its not the first time. They like good ole GOP establishment candidates unlike Trump.
Holding off on the Supreme Court vote is one of the few things hes done right but its not like he came up with the idea.
Mitch has done very little to help conservatives. You can now spew your nonsense.
