[Hindsight was 2020]

Just trying to trigger MT aren't you?

Wagner ain't running: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/top-gop-senate-recruit-ann-wagner-wont-challenge-claire-mccaskill/article/2627674

This is when the GOP needs to get scared because of a trend starts of GOPers just assuming 2018 will be bad for them so star recruits don't run for senate and old guard house members retire like Ros already did you create a self defeating psychology that favors a dem wave like what happened in 2010 and especially in 2014

Another major recruitment fail. And MT Treasurer laughed when I said it was a bad sign Fox wasn't going to run against Tester. I wonder who the next big name to pass will be.

From what it sounds reps in IN aren't lining up to run aganist Donnelly so look there for the next big recruitment fail

Hartzler out.

The nomination is Hawley's if he wants it. But does he?

It sounds like he doesn't really want it

The GOP is really having a hard time finding candidates across a bunch of red state Dem seats.

That's what happens in midterms

So much for her being DOA. Seriously imagine if 2018 hits Trump an the GOP hard enough they not only lose the house but the senate as well (an by win I'm talking a likely 50-50 with Mike as a tie breaker)

So much for Claire being DOA. Granted she could still lose but Hawley isn't doing as well as he could

According to Daily Kos Hawley is not only lagging in fundraising but has burned almost half the money he's rasied already while Claire has both burned only 32% of hers while buring more in literal dollars

Honestly Hawley is just banking on how red Missouri is to win just this is pathetic

Wow it might not be just a Twitter rumor https://newstalkkzrg.com/2018/06/15/greitens-may-run-as-independent-for-u-s-senate/

Just FYI... for St. Louis County, MO which Claire may need to win nearly 2 to 1 to win statewide that there is a correlation between how trumpy an area is and how many bunnies you see in the wild. The more  bunnies there are the more trumpy it is.

K.....

I am really hoping it's at least Hawley+5. Claire put out that anti-male video a while back and she also was once of those eye-roll worthy Game of Thrones watchers who claimed they'd stop watching because of the Sansa-Ramsay incident.

Good that plot line was disgusting. It happened to a different character in the books, it was solely done for shock value, and the plot to get her into the scenario made no sense

[Hindsight was 2020]

Hawley is a liar:

This self-inflicted wound shoud secure Mrs McCaskill's senate seat.
Maybe Mr Hawley should apply for an internship at Sen. Akin's or Sen. Angle's Office before running again  for an appropiate office like dog catcher.

What is being claimed about Hawley & Consultants, etc?  And is it something that would be an ethical violation or something a little more serious?

That he geared up for a senate run immediately after becoming AG and his staff deal with the AG study while he spent his time courting donors and whatnot. Which isn’t illegal but obviously rubs people the wrong way and goes against a specific pledge he made in 2016 to not do exactly that
