The race for Missouri’s Republican U.S. Senate primary heats up as we near the August 2 ballot.
Former President Donald Trump has yet to officially endorse a candidate but has said he will NOT be endorsing Vicky Hartzler in the race.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump lambasted the Congresswoman by saying he doesn’t think she has what it takes to “take on the Radical Left Democrats”.
“You can forget about Vicky Hartzler for Senate from the Great State of Missouri. She called me this morning asking for my Endorsement, much as she has on many other occasions. I was anything but positive in that I don’t think she has what it takes to take on the Radical Left Democrats, together with their partner in the destruction of our Country, the Fake News Media and, of course, the deceptive & foolish RINOS. I was very nice to Vicky on the call, but will NOT BE ENDORSING HER FOR THE SENATE"

Never heard of her. Is she a RINO?
An anti-endorsement. Weird. I agree that she’s not tough enough. Greitens is a loose cannon. I think Schmidt would be good for a term or two but might end up going swampy if left there too long.
Curious. Her FreedomWorks score of 62% is not stellar but not that bad either. Not bad on most of the issues. She is in the Thune, Burr, Blunt range. Maybe a semi-RINO. She must have done something to piss Trump off.

I work with her campaign. She’s been gaining ground and our team has been anticipating this type of feedback from the big guy. IMO, this could be the deathblow for her efforts but the other team members don’t think so. The other two guys are more questionable IMO but it’s generally understood that the winner of this primary will be the senator.
She sells out to the swamp constantly.
Trump screwed us in PA. both his endorsed candidates,for senator and governor, will lose . I’m concerned in tight raises his endorsed candidates will not do so well.
It would be best if he just stayed out of it.
Trump hasn’t picked well for the senate I think we’re screwed with the exception of Ted Budd in NC, Laxalt in Nevada could win but we’re screwed elsewhere
Puhleeeze do not endorse the gun toting Greitens! Greitens has given the rats so much fodder with his cheating on his wife and his stupid “RINO” hunting ad!
What I posted yesterday on another thread:
I hope some can give evaluation and then consideration to Eric Schmidt, the AG, who is running for this seat as well. A solid conservative as I recall.
After forty years of being a Missouri voter and/or property owner, I no longer can participate but I would like indulgence for a story I have related here in the past.
When Ike Skelton (d) was taken out by Tea-Party candidate V. Hartzler (r) I was running a big federal project in Missouri. (30 million). A aide to Hartzler came by to see me (perhaps knowing my company was Democrat donating) to explain to me that although there was a new Congresswoman in office, her administrative assistants and Office Managers were related to and closely connected with those of the out-going Ike Skelton. So it was important to not forget or write off Vickie and a destination for future donations. Right then I learned the shear stupidity of voting based upon the allegiance to the label of “Tea Party”.
Likewise Eric Greitens is a disaster waiting to happen a second time. All these Pols know how to play on our knee jerk support. Eric Schmidt [former AG] has an actual successful conservative record you can examine and support. I hope he defeats these bigger “names.”
And don’t forget Georgia. Herschel Walker is going to lose
'Nuff said.
FU. Trump didn’t screw anyone. Go away.
Greitens was framed by an ex-fbi skunk and the uber lib DA bitch.
If you are all aghast that he had an extra-marital fling, well does that make Trump "a loose cannon"?
Greitens is the best of the bunch and will be elected {and Trump will endorse him as soon as his bean counters see that Greitens is ahead}.
Trump likes the race to be over, before he bets.
Bold statement, can you predict the future with certainty?
I'll bet you a $100 {to go to FReepathon in November} that both Oz and Mastriano win in PA.
I'm not an oz guy, but fedderman is a radical communist that makes putin look sane, and shapiro is a slimy lawyer that has been so corrupted that he is giving tips to hunter biden on how to steal from the swamp.
When we get closer to the fall, PA voters will make a sane choice {I'm not sure about the voter fraud}.
It's your move.
I have never been impress with President Trump’s ability to pick reliable people. He claims to be anti RINO and turns around and endorses one (Oz).
Greitens picked someone to have a fling with who was on the crazy side of the hot crazy matrix. He was in his first “elected” position and decided to boink a hair dresser. Very poor judgment. Trump was an independent billionaire, not an elected politician at the time. There’s a difference.
Coming out with that RINO hunter internet ad was teenage level stuff. Maybe that was his target audience. Teenagers or people with a teenage level mentality.
No not at all. She is a traditional conservative. The kind the average person would support.
She’s a semi-RINO. No point in having another Thune-Romney look-a-like. Just like Cornyn here in Texas. Not voting for him again.
