I really shouldn’t be up this late and don’t have much time for this post. But I am still forcing myself to do it as a person sadly does to themselves at times. Here’s what I know. There was an election for senate in Missouri earlier this year. It didn’t go well.
There
were a lot of candidates in the race on the Republican side. A lot of them were
terrible and only one of them could win the nomination. Even the
insurrectionist couldn’t figure out who to support so just blindly said Eric. Their
terrible former governor, Eric Greitens, did not win the nomination. Neither of
the sedition caucus members who were running, Billy Long or Vicky Hartlers, win
the nomintation either. And enteral Karen Mark McCoskey didn’t win.
But
it was a terrible person who did win. Eric Scmitt, the state’s attorney
general, was the most likely of these people to win the nomination and thus the
election. He sued to get rid of universal health care coverage during a
pandemic. Having no clue of the concept of forum non convines, he has sued
China over the pandemic, different states other their handling of the 2020
election, and tried to claim authority over the border with Mexico. He has the
legal authority over none of these things or places.
You’d
think that his opponent, Democrat Trudy Busch Valentine, would mention things
like this in the ads in the election. But she didn’t. And the Democratic side of
the election was sadly very weak in the end. Lucas Knuce was her major
competition in the primary with the best candidate, Scott Stifton, having
inexplictedly dropped out before the primary. She instead aired ads that were
fact checked as false, not calling out his lies, and even thinking that
attacking him as too conservative would fail to get him elected. Plus, how easy
do you think that it would be to just say, this guy sought to get rid of
universal health care coverage during a pandemic, and not get some support
doing that. Sadly, Eric will make me wish that Roy Blunt had stuck around.
