Hayabusa
(2,135 posts)1. She probably just lost Missouri for this
but good for her.
The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)2. She won in '12, when Todd Akin made a major gaffe
If he would not have made that gaffe in his anti-abortion blathering, he would have won, IMO. She got lucky that time, I doubt greatly that she will get so lucky a second time. Not in the Trump era, where gaffes like Akin's only serve to make one even more of a darling. Missouri continues to become more crazy conservative by the day.
Hayabusa
(2,135 posts)5. When a President "won" the election for bragging about groping women and saying that some women were
too ugly for him to sexually assault, I agree with 100%.
Sadly.

(14,449 posts)3. If she's going to lose anyway, I'd like her to go out fighting
Get everything she knows out in the open. She's a fighter not like muchin.
She's had to tread carefully, and I've seen her make some "enemies" here for doing that.
