Aren’t further revelations just going to give him a leg up in the primary? P.S. Three-year olds don’t know how to lie. Greitens does.

Josh Hawley on Twitter: “If you hit a woman or a child, you belong in handcuffs, not the United States Senate. It’s time for Eric Greitens to leave this race https://t.co/RgCow67dDW” / Twitter

When you’ve lost Hawley…

It’s sad enough that Hawley will become my (Missouri) senior senator next year. Can’t say the other R’s are much better. Some good D’s but that’s a long shot.

Even thought everybody in Missouri knows that Greitens is a monster who should be in prison the Republican billionaire class continues to fund him. I wonder why?

Republicans like to put family up front and first as the party of family values. However, the actual nature of those family values needs to be discussed.

With a monster like Greiten, impeachment just isn’t enough. He really needs Holy Water and a wooden stake through the heart.

It needs to be dismissed, because there is no correlation between purported ‘family values’ and reality.

Because…Republican! That’s as far as critical thinking goes for them.

Look some groups put a gold standard on infidelity, spousal\child abuse, grift and general malevolence. And in the GOP, if you don’t hit the required points on the technicals, you might as well just give it up.

It bolsters your credentials on ‘manliness’, I suppose.

The sad reality that this amoral scumbag is the Missouri GOP senate primary front runner proves the utter depravity of Missouri Republican voters.

Family values, folks!

Maybe Critical Race Theory had something to do with Greitens’ serial abuse.

Being a child and wife abuser is a feature, not a bug for todays GOP.

This guy will win in a landslide.

There are plenty of good people who live in Missouri. I used to be one. However, the racism, sexism, and corruption run strong.

I heard Sheena Greitens last week on St Louis NPR. She’s a China scholar and had very interesting things to say about China is up to, and the relationship between Russia and China.
Listening to her I hope she doesn’t have to suffer all this Greitens shit.
It would be interesting to see the interplay between Hawley and Greitens if Greitens does get elected. Hawley will come off as an even bigger whiner than he does now. Same thing if Schmitt wins the senate seat.
I don’t think Hartzler has a chance, but she’s the only one who has the most experience in Congress.
