GOP firm Remington Research, polling for the Missouri Scout, has good news for several Missouri Republicans who might try to oust Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill next year. Although McCaskill has yet to draw a high-profile GOP challenger, Remington tested four prominent Republicans whose names have come up recently, and they all post modest leads over the incumbent. McCaskill trails Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer 50-43, state Treasurer Eric Schmitt by 49-45, Rep. Vicky Hartzler by 48-44, and Rep. Jason Smith by 48-45. While her opponents likely start out with lower name recognition, only 40 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of McCaskill and 45 percent an unfavorable one.

I guess it’s good news if you don’t mind getting Social Security and Medicare dismantled and Medicaid expansion curtailed. That’s Ryan’s goal anyway but I don’t see too many Republicans opposed to it.
 
Look at the 2018 Senate Map. I find it very likely that Republican’s win in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Montana, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Indeed. Hoping she makes a come back. The continued Republican attempt at dismantling SS and Medicare needs to be stopped.
 
how the democrats ever expect to win another election again is beyond me! they are losing their minds over the Trump victory and are looking very bad. they are not helping themselves. their party seems to be falling apart. no leadership.
 
She is one of the least popular Democrat Senators among Democrats. She is certainly vulnerable because Missouri is pretty red and Dems don’t much care for her.

She’s already raised a whopping amount of cash. Last time she used it to good effect by getting the right to support Todd Akin whose views on “legitimate rape” didn’t sit too well with voters. It was a brilliant move.

Who knows what will happen in the next few months with Trump & Healthcare. 🤷

She’s still vulnerable because of Missouri. But you are right that 18 will likely be a referendum on Trump, so that could depend on his performance or perception thereof more than anything Mccaskill does.

Dems did not win any one of the four special elections that were supposedly a referendum on Trump.

McCaskill is the most vulnerable of the Dems. Akin was a long time ago. I also believe he was winning the polls until he blundered with rape statement.

Edit:
In October before the election McCaskill was leading by two points with a margin of error or 4 points.

But all 4 were much closer than previous elections. The Democrats aren’t going to swing an R+20 district, but can they swing a “Lean Republican” seat.

Trump beat Hillary in the 20 point range.
 
The Democrat’s biggest gain in 2018 will likely be in governors.

Well, maybe because she has a history of mixed liberal and conservative positions. She is considered a moderate in the Senate - while today’s Democratic party continues to drift further and further left…

If Democrats want to embrace anti-White identity politics, class warfare, and big government as the solution to problems, their future is not looking bright. If the GOP’s 4-0 record on special elections is any indication, future wins for republicans should be as easy as… adults playing a game of *Monopoly *against…kids!
