Republican Wildcat suggested in another thread that this article deserved its own post.

I agree!!

You needn’t worry. The full fire has been turned on him and he will be gone. He speaks well, but I don’t know the rest of it. I’ve just seen it before, against myriads of Republicans the establishment doesn’t like. But Mitch and Mitt will march on. Nobody ever comes up with unified fire against them.

As opposed to supporting Gope Rinos?

Gopes had their chance.

The GOPe will try to destroy any conservative that has a chance. We know that.

But sometimes they win, and we have to admit defeat. Greitens is as dead in the water as Todd Akin or Roy Moore.

I live in Missouri. I like Greitens, but he carries a lot of baggage. Recent polls show the other two GOP candidates easily beating Dem opponents by 15-20 points, but Greitens polls even or barely ahead. He would take a safe R Senate seat and turn it into a toss-up. His main problem is that a lot of voters remember him as the governor who “resigned in disgrace.” I don’t want a repeat of the Todd Akin situation where we put forth a troubled R candidate and then end up with another Claire McCaskill for six years. I’ll be voting for Schmitt who has been a solid conservative AG for Missouri and will be a solid conservative senator.

What’s your point?

That GOPe will win in primary?

Make them lose in the general.

Missouri has open primaries, so each voter tells the election official whether they want a Republican or Democrat ballot when they show up at the polls.

Greitens needs to be gone, now, so the other three candidates and their positions won’t be over-shadowed by commercials about his bad deeds, real or perceived.

And, yes, I live in Missouri, and I reluctantly voted for him as Governor. I thought there were better candidates who didn’t win due to our open primaries.

#6. Well said. I like Schmitt (AG), but also like Billy Long (RKBA supporter) and Vicky Hartzler is another strong conservative. Her ads are pretty powerful. I voted for, and $upported Greitens first time around. Afraid it is time for him to pull the pin. Seat to important to lose.

Too bad about his downfall. His book on resilience is one of the best out there.

there were dirty tricks in the case against Greitens. The DA was Kim Gardner. Her investigator is charged with perjury.

Ah more advice from the GOP establishment Townhall. They’re always promoting whoever McConnell is for with shills like Hewit or Medved.

After what has been done to him Greitens may be the only candidate who hates democrats and goper slime as much as I do. That is the kind of politician I want.

Grietens is likely a wife beater and child abuser. He beat his wife took nude photos of a gal pal and hit his son so hard he had to have a tooth surgically removed.

The guy is bad news and if there are other candidates that can win the seat lets hope DJT does the right thing.

Problem is in the yahoo piece you have to dig deep to get the full story showing yahoo is disingenuous as well. But, at least the truth is reported there.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/senate-candidate-eric-greitens-accused-003553409.html

Here is the key stuff on Greitens:

Sheena Greitens also said that in November 2019, their son Joshua returned from a visit with Eric "with a swollen face, bleeding gums, and loose tooth." Joshua "said Dad had hit him" while Eric "said they were roughhousing and it had been an accident," according to the affidavit. The tooth was surgically removed in May 2020.

Gateway is drinking the cool aid and is pro Greitens but you can bet they never saw this paragraph. Most on gateway are room temperature IQ anyway.
