McCaskill and Donnelly made the same mistakes: Both tried so hard to appeal to rural voters that just will never vote for them. They should have instead focused on maximizing turnout in big cities and college towns, and trying to flip traditionally GOP voters in the well-educated suburbs of the big cities. McCaskill narrowly won Wagner’s district even as Trump easily beat Clinton there in 2016. Had she followed that strategy and won, she might have pulled VanOstran across the finish line with her.

Missouri people: What the hell happened to Jefferson County? It went from D+2 in 2008 to R+35 (!) in 2016! And it's not even rural, it's sububan! And even Galloway lost it! Was it Ferguson? I'm sure that had a lot to do with it, but there must be more to the story than that.

Ferguson is in St. Louis county, not Jefferson.
