Does Josh Hawley have a chance of losing?

[dsp3000]

I saw his opponent interviewed the other day on youtube and he seems like a really standup guy and has the creds to beat hawley. How red is Missouri? is it as red as texas or more like georgia / nc?

1. I think I donated to the Democratic opponent

a month ago. Not much, just wanted to chip in to get rid of Hawley. Is it Kunce?

2. Redder than both

3. Well, everyone have a CHANCE of losing, but Missouri is very red

when judged by election outcomes. Totally controlled by Repugs -- exec, leg, judic.

Interestingly the four states you mentioned (GA, MO, NC, TX) are all approximately 41-41-18 (R-D-I) plus or minus a percent or two, according to Pew Research polling of self-reported party affiliation.

4. A Democrat can win in Missouri. It's a long-shot, but it's possible.

If the 1st and 5th can turn out some blue votes, and the 2nd and 7th are less enthusiastic in their deep-red voting, Kunce could win.

The polling isn't optimistic in this regard, however.

5. Hopefully the abortion initiative on the ballot will help

Bring out more voters who might not like him.

6. I hope so. MO had the Democratic Carnahans and McCaskills.

KC has always had a liberalness. Maybe the chiefs will fire Bupkis if Hawley loses.

9. Really??? Did you take a wrong turn somewhere?

10. Pizza's on its way!

13. Hopefully

I've put them on the right track.

8. It hasn't been that long since Missouri was a purple state.

In the 2008 election, it was very close between Obama and McCain. Missouri was, in fact, the last state that was called. And in 2012 McCaskill won a second term in the Senate.

Hawley has ZERO chance to get my vote -- for ANYTHING. And I will donate to his campaign. Crystal Quade's for governor, too, and, of course, Harris-Walz.

14. Didn't it take McCaskill to run against a guy who admitted to rape or something crazy like that for her to win?

[GP6971]

12. Pizza!!! Get your Pizza here!!!

15. I did the deed

But think someone got in before me. Well done.

16. Claire McCaskill was the dem senator before Hawley so I think he could have a chance.

17. McCaskill beat the legitimate rape guy

Lucas Kunce is a great candidate, massively better than Hawley... unfortunately its Missouri.
