Oh, you mean they haven't chimed in on who their own replacement should be??

God forbid the people should actually choose their own representative without the advice of the CURRENT representative!!

The real reason: it's likely the kiss of death for whoever they'd choose.

And we know who they'd choose anyway. Shelby wants his aide to succeed him. Burr wants McCrory. Toomey wants the most liberal republican running. The same with Portman and Blunt.

But the author would have us believe that the people in the individual states are on pins and needles just waiting for their endorsements.

Please!

“God forbid the people should actually choose their own representative without the advice of the CURRENT representative!!”

Tony Kennedy selected Justice Kav as his replacement.

At least Shelby, Burr and Toomey are leaving. Good riddance.

Remember the last major candidate they thought “Could win”... Mitt Romney? The biggest loser the GOP ever supported

Remember the last major candidate they thought NEVER could win? Who won in a landslide so big that he defeated all the democrats attempts to push HilLIARy over the top? And who the democrats had to launch the entire fraudulent ball of wax?

Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt said he is currently not planning to endorse in the Republican primary, but he did not rule it out.

“Almost everybody in that primary has been helpful to me. And their supporters have almost all been helpful to me,” Blunt said. “And my current view is that I hope not to have to become involved in the primary.”

Blunt was mum on what might push him to become involved, saying he will “just have to see how it plays out.”

The GOP primary field in Missouri includes Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long, state Attorney General Eric Schmitt, and lawyer Mark McCloskey, who made national headlines last year for brandishing a gun when Black Lives Matter protesters were near his home. Another Senate hopeful is former Gov. Eric Greitens, who left office in 2018 amid multiple scandals, including allegations of sexual misconduct and blackmail, which he denied.

Asked if there was a concern about Greitens’ candidacy, Blunt said, “I didn’t say that. I said we’ll see how it plays out,” before heading to the Senate floor.

Definitely not McCloskey. Tough call between Hartzler, Long, Schmitt and Greitens. Greitens did cheat on his wife if nothing else and I think a lot of Christians will hold that against him. I'd hate to see a dem win the general because of that. Long and Hartzler are both conservative and very pro Trump.
