.Embattled Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, a Republican, is declining to block from the November ballot three initiatives that could boost Democratic turnout in the midterm.
Greitens faces possible impeachment in the Republican-controlled state legislature over twin scandals involving an extramarital affair and mismanagement of a charity.

Looks more and more like this guy was an opportunist and self-promoter, not a serious conservative. I saw his speak some years ago and wasn’t that favorably impressed.
We have met the enemy and he is us. McCaskill will be voted back in. The GOP in Missouri self destructs or falls victim to Claire’s dirty tricks.

The pot referendum will bring out the Dems en masse.
The MO GOP will have a bad night in November.
Did McLame somehow become Governor of Missouri?
“The pot referendum will bring out the Dems en masse”.
We’ve got Dems here at FR?
He’s a Demorat mole.

The more states that legalize pot the more the homeless populations get spread around. Many in Denver may move along when they they have other options.
For every action, there is a reaction. We say in politics, if you are going to try and kill the king, you better do it because if you fail, he will kill you.
Bad news for sure. Another traitor.
