MO-GOV 2020 megathread

[Lechasseur]

I think Democrats should compete in MO.

Steve Stenger or Stephen Webber would be good, especially if the Carnahans are finished with politics.

Bahahahahahaha.  That's the way that you manage to lose STL county in a statewide election.  That would be a total blowout.

Explain to me what is wrong with Stenger or Webber, and why you think Democrats should cede the country? Remember a 50-state campaign strategy?

Dude... STL county is one of the four counties MO Dems are guaranteed to win in and that only gets you around 38% (Hillary Clinton).  It's the largest county in the state, and the home of the dem base.  If you can't win in STL county as a Dem, ur not winning the state.
Stenger is incredibly unpopular in the county, and he barely won his last election.  In addition, he's going through some criminal problems of his own.  He'd get crushed.
I totally agree with you that the dems should not cede Missouri, and Webber would be a great candidate.  The idea of Stenger as a viable statewide candidate is so laughable, however, that I had to point it out.

I don't know who Stenger is but why is he so unpopular?

Parson isn't beatable, but as I laid out above, I think Dems could win a gubernatorial race given the right conditions a little further down the road.

Agreed
