The ‘open and transparent’ Dem. Senator from Missouri, Claire McCaskill, has been caught hiding from the press in a laughable video that reminds one more of childish playground antics than a town hall meeting with a U.S. senator.
The senator is evidently feeling that her time is coming to an end with the upcoming reelection.
Republicans view McCaskill’s seat as one of their best chances of flipping a seat in the Senate, thanks to her plunging popularity and numerous scandals.
Even though historically the party in power lose seats in the midterm elections, there is an excellent chance that Republicans can hang onto the House and Senate this year. After all, the GOP has won against greater odds in the recent past.
President Trump has campaigned for State Attorney General Josh Hawley, her Republican opposition. Trump won Missouri by 20 points.
“We need Josh badly,” Trump said of Hawley, an affable, telegenic 38-year-old Yale and Stanford graduate.
Hawley, an attorney, was once a law clerk for John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
While McCaskill is hiding out, Josh Hawley is out front every day meeting with Missouri voters to hear their suggestions for how he can best represent them in the U.S. Senate.
Nothing to see here, just your "open and transparent" Senator hiding behind a pillar because she didn't want her "public" town hall recorded… #MOSen pic.twitter.com/SuC3WRROMu
