Politics: 2022 Missouri Senate Race

I have about half an hour to write this post to ensure that this one is done. I just have not had that much time and am almost certain that some cast updates will be incomplete, but this may not be the case in the end. I hope not. Anyways, here’s a quick post.

 

Let’s start with the Republican primary. Just how bad are the candidates? We’ll, let’s see. We have not one but two members of the sedition caucus (Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long), a former governor who resigned after numerous scandals (Eric Greitens), an attorney general who sued to get rid of Obamacare during a pandemic (Eric Schmitt), and a person who did something controversial and is now waving his eternal Karen card (I’m not saying his name). There’s plenty of other candidates in there too. The only one that I like out of all of them is Dave Schatz. We’ll see if I still feel that way later, especially if he wins.

 

Sadly, I’m unsure who I would want to support in the Democratic primary. The person that I most wanted to win was Scott Sifton, but he dropped out of the race. None of them seem to have that much experience in office and at least two of them put me on email lists that I never signed up for as I normally only donate to races after the primary. I guess we’ll see who winds up being the nominee as undecided has always and only been the winner here. It doesn’t seem like most of the polling favors Democrats in any of the match ups.

 

There’s not too much else to say here. I can’t even endorse someone on the Democratic side, although I’d think that Lucas Kunce is probably the best bet, although Trudy Busch Valentine seems most likely to be the nominee. And the Republican endorsement of mine is Dave Schatz as he is the only one I’d want to see win from that side, even though I’m certain that I’d want the Democrat in any match up.
