MO-SEN 2018: The Megathread

[BudgieForce]

How did your lady’s RV trip go.  Did she get enough time on her plane.  Poor little rich girl. Just cannot stay away from her plane.  A real lady of the people.

In Claire's defense, her husband's "private jet" looks like a dumpy puddle jumper. If I were her, I'd probably be more comfortable in the RV.

Is there a reason why every thread on here is about how the Democrats are going to loose in November?

It is just aimed at informing people.

We have a Missouri Senate thread though.

Businesses linked to McCaskill’s husband get $131 million in federal dollars

Lol

ehh...

If she loses, it wont be because her husband gets federal subsidies.


Edit: I dislike these types of scandals. No clear impropriety, just something that may look bad.

Anybody who works for government needs to take a class on not clicking phishing emails. It's not hard.

Race is not a toss up. Courtland Sykes will likely be the nominee

Why do you think that?

Hawley has run a completely milquetoast, feeble campaign, Greitens was still popular with the GOP base who may feel Hawley betrayed him, and Sykes is exactly the type of personality that appeals to GOP primary voters. The complete dearth of polling for the primary as well means we have no idea how the race actually looks. Sykes probably won't atcually win but I expect him to do way better than anyone expects

No lol (this is the type of thinking that led many red avatars to think Blankenship was going to win the primary walking away), the only primary opponent to Hawley with any support is Austin Petersen and even he is a 10% chance to win at best

Petersen seems to have a huge twitter followings, and by huge, I mean every post mentioning the MO race is spammed by the same people who post a dubious poll with Petersen up by like 20 points.

So apparently all of Petersen's supporters were on Twitter.
