MO: Vicky Hartzler*

Oh, eww. Hartzler would probably be McCaskill's preferred opponent seeing as she's probably the most conservative of all the possible candidates.
Is she hyperconservative or just a gaffe machine? According to the last National Journal ranking, Wagner was vastly more conservative than Hartzler, but admittedly the last time they published one was in 2013.
She's more of a gaffe machine. Sam Graves was also thought to be considering, but he has a ton of controversies.
Can we just go with the safe option and pick Wagner?
I think she might have some stumbles in the primary, since she kinda floundered on Trump in 2016, even though she's working with him fully now.
I think all the Missouri Republican representatives voted for the AHCA, so if the Senate also passes it, it could become a major albatross on all the Republicans' necks.
I also think some attack ads against Wagner write themselves - she basically orchestrated the gutting of the CFPB.
