If getting to McCaskill was Hawley’s goal, he won the debate | The Kansas City Star #MOSen #MOSenDebate kansascity.com/opinion/opn-co…
“Missouri Republican Senate nominee Josh Hawley smiled as he went after Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, and he smiled a lot at Thursday night’s debate.”
“Hawley’s attacks were so nonstop that McCaskill gave up on answering all of them — we’d be there still — and spent much of the evening on the defensive.”
“By the end, she was shaking a little with anger, and unlike her challenger, McCaskill did not stop to talk to reporters on her way out. If getting to her was the goal, then Hawley won.”
“The Missouri attorney general didn’t have to prove he loves a fight, because the whole campaign has been like this, with Hawley answering most questions about what he would do in office with criticism of McCaskill.”
“‘It’s not that she’s a bad person,’ he told the audience. ‘But she does not represent this state anymore.’”
“I’m not running my campaign on attacking somebody’s family. Somebody is, but it’s not me.” - Lady Who Called Josh Hawley’s Little Boy ‘A Prop’ Last Week
