Former Jan. 6 investigator and self-described "lifelong Republican" John Wood announced that he's running as an independent candidate for an open U.S. Senate seat in Missouri.
“I am not looking to be a spoiler. I’m in this race to win it,” Wood told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Tuesday. “I think that there is a coalition of common-sense voters that can be put together.”
Wood said he was running in part out of concern that former Gov. Eric Greitens would be the GOP nominee in the Republican-leaning state.

Why is MO so important?
John Danforth behind this.
Death throes of the Bush-Cheney political dynasty.
Whatever you think of Eric Greitens if the Republican Voters of Missouri vote for him, I say you have to go for it, versus some guy entering the race late with one purpose in mind, which is to ensure a Democrat wins that election.
“lifelong Republican”
That usually means he’s for everything the Left is for he just wants slightly lower capital gains tax rates.
Egg McMuffin, former CIA, says the same thing in Utah and he is running for the same reason . . . to siphon votes from the GOP candidate.
The deep state just can't get over their hissy fit of losing their grip on one political party.
I am definitely not voting for Greitens. I will be deciding between Schmitt and Hartzler.
Majority white state, could go either way in Presidential elections, cheating in St. Louis could determine statewide elections?
Yeah, right! Sounds like those "seminar callers" on conservative talk shows who claim that they have been conservative activists since they trudged through snowdrifts in New Hampshire walking precincts for Barry Goldwater but see Donald Trump as a grave threat to Democracy.
>”Bush-Cheney political dynasty”
Thats all Greitens would have to accuse Wood of and he’d be a sho-in.
Post 7- good description of the assistant democrats.
If they can’t win, they’ll make sure that a Democrat does. That’s the MO of the Assistant Democrat party. They *hate* MAGA conservatives.
Same here. Dude seems a little unstable. If he wins the primary, I’ll vote for him in the general.
Do they have to be in California or can they collect the stamps from anywhere in the world ? LOL

Pretty much and we shouldn’t forget endless War
In other words, he's in it as a spoiler.
There always has been lots of hanky-panky in US senate races in Missouri.
That’s funny, I just tweeted similar advice to Liz Cheney’s opponent, Harriet Hageman!
You should review the history of US senate "elections" in Missouri.
Not saying how you should vote, I'm just saying that the Democrats have "interesting methods" in Missouri.
Missouri 2008 McCain Obama 1,445,814 1,441,911 Missouri 2012 Romney Obama 1,482,440 1,223,796 Akin McCaskill 1,063,698 1,484,683
Just when the Democrat NEEDED that Missouri senate seat. Hey presto!!
