“Missouri’s Attorney General, Republican Eric Schmitt, appears to be the clear frontrunner in Missouri’s U.S. Senate race, according to our August 2022 SLU/YouGov Poll.”
“Given the political climate in Missouri, it seems that Schmitt would have a hard time losing.”
“The anti-Greitens PAC, created June 2 and funded initially with $1 million from Republican mega-donor Rex Sinquefield and $250,000 from Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, has spent $7.4 million, including $3.7 million on television ads in every market of the state.”
“That is the most of any candidate or PAC seeking to influence the GOP primary.”
“Beginning his 20th year serving as sheriff, Stolzer spoke Tuesday night at the Ste. Genevieve Republican Club about why he is making the big step from ‘blue’ to ‘red.’”
"When #Ferguson happened there and our state government stepped in and our federal government stepped in and screwed it up as bad as they did, it made me realize our federal government drastically affects what happens to me here locally and throughout this country.”
“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.”
When this is over I think it’ll be difficult to overstate the extent to which this experience will have radicalized many among Republican grassroots and grasstops as to tactics we use in future.
There’s always been a vanguard of Republicans for whom the political end, no matter how important, can’t justify truly despicable means (political tactics). I think this episode finally convinced such people otherwise.
Democrats haven’t believed this since at least Alinsky and maybe before. Many Republicans have refused to get down into the situational ethics gutter with them. They’ve seen us lose political battles over the years as a result.
