MO-SEN 2018: The Megathread

[jamestroll]

Claire Mccaskill looks so much like an excellent mother also!! Happy mother's day.

Hindsight in 2020 no.. tnvolunteer and I are friends.


And I do not care how good looking Josh Hawley is.. I will NOT vote for him in 2018.

[Pericles]

McCaskill is entrenched! She will win in 2018!

GOP should focus on North Dakota and Indiana and protecting Nevada and Arizona (both of which will likely flip), as well as protecting their very vulnerable House majority.

Yes!!! This is correct.

[Xing]

Hmmm, let's see...

FLAWLESS. BEAUTIFUL. CLAIRE. will win in 2018!

Am I doing this right?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

"McCaskill fan club" is a phrase that makes me want to vomit, lol.

[Pollster]

I like McCaskill and many of my connections from Missouri this past election cycle say that they are cautiously optimistic based on what they have seen so far, but she has benefited throughout her entire Senate career from favorable cycles and damaged opponents. She may very well end up with the first yet again if 2018 turns into an anti-Trump wave, but she could very well face a competent opponent making it still fairly difficult.

What is ironic is that if she survives 2018, her reelection in 2024 could prove to be yet another favorable cycle for her if Democrats are highly energized after potentially eight years of Donald Trump, a la 2008. Some people are just lucky.

You endorsed McCaskill and she is moderate

[MT Treasurer]

A message for all the McCaskill fanboys in this thread

Also wtf, why shouldn't Republicans target McCaskill? That's as if someone said in 2016 that Democrats shouldn't target Mark Kirk, lol. McCaskill is about as moderate as Liz Warren.

And this guy calls Republicans delusional....

[Virginiá]

I still wish Kander would be running in 2018 and not McCaskill. It's such a shame he lost last year

[jamestroll]

Wait till McCaskill wins in 2018 and runs for president in 2020.

She looks very presidential to me.

You are aware of the recultance behind that, and if Kander changes his mind and jumps in, my endorsement flips to him on day one.

[Ebsy]

McCaskill is one of the few Senators that deserves universal admiration.

[Figueira]

Honestly one of the better Senators. I really hope she beats the Republican.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Completely endorsed! Go team McCaskill!

[heatcharger]

Her 2012 campaign was a work of genius, so I respect her for that.

I also have to laugh at TN Vol's continuing crusade against her because apparently she's some sort of misandrist lol.

Just another dog whistle for someone who supports equal treatment. McCaskill is one of my favorite senators.

[jamestroll]

McCaskill is moderate.

She was not like Sherrod Brown who immediately said no to Gorsuch. She gave it thought.  I did disagree with her final decision on that issue ftr.

And she is not trying to pander at all. I think Missouri voters will respond well to that. Voters do not like pandering.

[MT Treasurer]

Only 18 more months of this nonsense.

But yeah... while the voting records of these red-state Democrats are very similar and almost identical, the only difference is that the others know how to act like moderates and are therefore going to be much more difficult to beat. So I guess I should be thankful that McCaskill is doing everything to make sure she doesn't get entrenched, unlike people like Manchin or Heitkamp.

[Pericles]

I think TN Volunteer is over compensating for missing Trump's win. The person who said that he'll 'make new mistakes' is correct.

[Pericles]

I bet Heitkamp likely loses while  McCaskill wins.

[The_Doctor]

If Todd Akin had not been the GOP nominee in 2012, she would have lost. Missouri is that kind of red now and I don't buy that she'll survive another term barring a huge Democratic wave. Missouri went Trump by 20 points, and she's underwater in approval ratings, right? She's been long regarded with a jaundiced eye in Missouri.

Kander, on the other hand, has a strong profile and is a rising star without her baggage.

[jamestroll]

President Claire McCaskill does have a nice ring to it...

Do y'all agree?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

She red baited so hard against Bernie and he almost won her state in the primary anyways. What a joke.

I don't know, Supreme Ruler of the Earth Claire McCaskill sounds a bit better to me.
