What did the Senator say? Sherman A1 Apr 2018 #1

Thanks, good question. elleng Apr 2018 #5

There was a quotation. Tom Perez says it doesn't matter. They are filing this lawsuit to protect emulatorloo Apr 2018 #8

Good, glad he said it doesn't matter, elleng Apr 2018 #14

I am hoping Rachel covers the lawsuit more in depth. This was just a short segment. emulatorloo Apr 2018 #20

Note: the 1972 DNC lawsuit against the Nixon campaign was successful; Nixon's folks paid $750K --on Cha Apr 2018 #27

Yes, she's INTO it, elleng Apr 2018 #31

She is in a red state. I give her a pass on this no matter what she said. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #24

I don't worry too much about what McCaskill says... Wounded Bear Apr 2018 #2

That seat is history for her kimbutgar Apr 2018 #32

I hope not because that means we don't have a shot at the Senate. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #33

I know sadly. kimbutgar Apr 2018 #37

Well, she has pulled it out before, and the governor is a big asshole so we can hope. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #68

I live here xmas74 Apr 2018 #44

Excellent info -- thanks RandomAccess Apr 2018 #50

No problem. xmas74 Apr 2018 #53

Very nice writeup!! ... SWBTATTReg Apr 2018 #85

Precisely Sherman A1 Apr 2018 #63

Exactly. xmas74 Apr 2018 #69

She has to walk a fine line loyalsister Apr 2018 #65

And that's it. xmas74 Apr 2018 #71

So, Democrats across the country are supposed to pull their punches and water down EffieBlack Apr 2018 #75

You wanna keep a seat? xmas74 Apr 2018 #81

Yes, I do EffieBlack Apr 2018 #83

I think you're OK with us losing that seat. xmas74 Apr 2018 #84

You have no idea what I'm "ok" with EffieBlack Apr 2018 #86

YES to all of this. I live here too. And Hawley's closeness to Greitens is a big problem for him n/t RayOfHope Apr 2018 #91

Shes a fighter. And Missouri GOP not looking good these days blake2012 Apr 2018 #59

I live here and I wouldn't count her out. She's got a chance RayOfHope Apr 2018 #90

In two words, Missouri voters. She's got an uphill race hlthe2b Apr 2018 #3

Yes I know about Missouri voters. triron Apr 2018 #4

If she is worried about her "voters" then keep your fucking mouth shut Ferrets are Cool Apr 2018 #6

Who are you referring to? triron Apr 2018 #7

Yes, you are correct. Ferrets are Cool Apr 2018 #41

She needs to get out ahead of this. xmas74 Apr 2018 #10

+1000 Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #18

I agree - just don't say anything EffieBlack Apr 2018 #30

She did not say it was frivolous. xmas74 Apr 2018 #45

Just as bad EffieBlack Apr 2018 #56

From what I understand she was referring to the interviewer xmas74 Apr 2018 #57

It seems that she was referring to the suit itself, not a question or the coverage EffieBlack Apr 2018 #58

It's a right wing rag xmas74 Apr 2018 #60

It cites to a tweet from a St. Louis-Dispatch reporter who says that this came from McCaskill's EffieBlack Apr 2018 #62

And she needs to redirect every single time. xmas74 Apr 2018 #72

Im sorry, but thats bullshit EffieBlack Apr 2018 #74

Really? xmas74 Apr 2018 #78

And you think her joining in the criticism of the lawsuit is likely to stave off the criticism? EffieBlack Apr 2018 #82

I thought I heard bdamomma Apr 2018 #9

Sounds likely to me. elleng Apr 2018 #16

Yes Trump folks did as well. Perez rolled his eyes over that and grinned, had a great response. emulatorloo Apr 2018 #23

Planet Red State who is up for reelection JI7 Apr 2018 #11

"silly distraction" is what she said oberliner Apr 2018 #12

Yes, we certainly need her! elleng Apr 2018 #17

Agreed oberliner Apr 2018 #21

I hope we can save this seat...we have a number of red state Senators up for election. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #34

synonymous triron Apr 2018 #25

She is in trouble and we need her to win re-election if we are to have any shot at the Senate... Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #13

She is not a conserv-anything if you look at her voting GulfCoast66 Apr 2018 #61

I agree. She is a great Democrat, but she has to talk the conservadem talk at election time. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #67

Still "frivolous" it is NOT. I don't care Cha Apr 2018 #19

I looked it up. It wasn't "frivolous". xmas74 Apr 2018 #22

Not a "distraction" either but thanks Cha Apr 2018 #26

The rest was that it was brought up xmas74 Apr 2018 #43

Hope she's watching Rachel's history lesson malaise Apr 2018 #28

Meh Bradshaw3 Apr 2018 #29

That is it...warm Democrat bodies are needed. We have to win in red states as we can't hold a Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #35

This is what I don't like about my Senator, Claire McCaskill... TheDebbieDee Apr 2018 #36

She said it xmas74 Apr 2018 #46

Polls Suggest She's got a Good Shot of Winning in a Red State Stallion Apr 2018 #38

She's fighting for her life in her district ConnorMarc Apr 2018 #39

She doesnt need to actively undermine fellow Democrats to win EffieBlack Apr 2018 #76

If she follows your advice, and loses... ConnorMarc Apr 2018 #89

if she undermines other Democrats and still loses, is it worth it? EffieBlack Apr 2018 #92

I truly don't care. Bleacher Creature Apr 2018 #40

What? Is this for real onecaliberal Apr 2018 #42

Nope. Nt xmas74 Apr 2018 #47

Planet Missouri BannonsLiver Apr 2018 #48

She never said it xmas74 Apr 2018 #49

Maybe the OP should edit or delete then BannonsLiver Apr 2018 #51

Exactly. xmas74 Apr 2018 #54

meh. She's entitled to her own opinion. Lil Missy Apr 2018 #52

She didnt think that about Hillary, whom she criticized for being honest about her own campaign EffieBlack Apr 2018 #77

That again, is her opinion. Lil Missy Apr 2018 #87

I too suspect it will amount to nothing. Hope Im wrong. Hoyt Apr 2018 #55

She's not the only one saying that. This is the problem with Democrats. Vinca Apr 2018 #64

Whatever she may have said has no bearing on anything jberryhill Apr 2018 #66

She called it a distraction xmas74 Apr 2018 #73

Then stay on message. Dont comment on it. EffieBlack Apr 2018 #79
