The elite are part of this and honestly, it's basically just a debutante ball. I'm not going to hold this against her considering it was over 40 years ago. She's been a consistent member of MO Dems.

I'm a Missouri voter. I'm a member of MO Dems. I'm a district chair for my state district. I've never heard anything bad about Valentine. Scott Sifton has dropped out of the race and is now supporting Valentine. I've met Scott on several occasions and usually trust his judgment. He was the most outspoken liberal in the race and would only support someone in the primary who is just as progressive.

Let's not start in on this race yet. There's so many dirty things brewing just below the surface. Sherman A1 and myself were discussing it yesterday. This race is about to get very dirty and I think it's all leading back to Eric Schmitt.

Btw- this is the same ball that actor Ellie Kemper was also in hot water over.
