The sooner Democrats accept that Missouri is dead for them, the better. Sure, maybe Kander could eek out a 50.1% to 49.9% win in the general if he were to primary McCaskill, but he definitely would be a one termer. McCaskill may sneak through if Hartzler is the nominee and ruins everything, but would definitely be winning election to her last term. Rather than trying to leak every last drop out of Missouri, Dems should triage it and focus on keeping IN/ND and picking up NV/AZ.
Why would it have to be 50.1 to 49.9? Why not 51 to 48? Why not 49.3 to 48.7? You know there are often third party candidates correct?
You are aware that Kander is why overrated? You are aware that it is impossible to predict elections in 2022? You are aware that its too early to triage any where though signs may be coming more in January 2018 not July 2017.
I am not predicting McCaskill will win but I will say a great way to lose an election is to be absolutely confident that it is an election you absolutely can not lose! We all saw that last year!
