MO-SEN 2022 (R primary) - Remington/MOScout: Blunt 43, Greitens 32

[MT Treasurer]

I think Blunt can be toppled in a primary but Greitens isn’t the guy to do it. It’s honestly remarkable how much Blunt's political career has been characterized by sheer luck (coronated as the R nominee in the 2010 Tea Party wave as a political insider involved in MO/national politics since the 1980s, riding the R wave to a big win over the Carnahan name in the general election after early polls had indicated a very competitive race, narrowly surviving the wave of anti-establishment sentiment in 2016, likely making it out of the primary in 2022 due to yet another absence of a well-funded primary challenger, and again surviving yet another general due to favorable trends/environment, etc.) in addition to obvious ambition and some skill at insider politics/negative campaigning. I still wish he’d retire, and I certainly hope that this will be his last term.
