The MO-SEN primary is going to be cluster.

Right after the Gorsuch vote, McConnell stated firmly that "they" would intervene in primaries where necessary.

You can bet MO would top that list after what happened in 2012.

Because Bannon is not stupid. He realizes what happened in 2012 and that if someone other than Akin was the nominee, ACA repeal would have passed. All are also well aware of Claire's love to meddle in the GOP primary.


So that is why they are uniting behind Hawley and clearing the field.

Yes, Bannon's instincts are so good that he's running Kelli Ward and Tarkanian against GOP incumbents (not that Flake would do any better in a general than Sinema at this point anyways though) and is running vanity campaigns against all the other GOP Senators besides Cruz who would've been likelier to lose his primary than Barasso. Such stellar political instincts. I can't wait to see who he rallies behind to get rid of Susan Collins in 2020!

That is the why there is have a designation called "Crazy, not stupid!"
