But that doesn't stop write ins or even someone as big of an asshole as Trump throwing shade against everyone in sight.

Still, the poll above is worried about him beating Clinton in the GE. The fact still remains that he won't win the Missouri caucus. They might agree with him and might enjoy his antics but they won't pick him in the caucus.

Obama got 49.3% in 2008 in Missouri. former9thward Aug 2015 #17

The state went GOP the last 4 election cycles, but don't let that bother Rex Aug 2015 #21

And it elected Democratic governors former9thward Aug 2015 #23
