Sure as hell hope so. And with Kansas voting to keep abortion constitutional as a big time red state, there's hope Missouri can elect a democrat.

Jack L

It will be hard for a Democrat to win in MO, but it`s possible. Republicans can`t resist the urge to go to extremes on issues like abortion and gun control, and this turns off a lot of voters

Jennifer M

Biased and don't tell the truth....sounds like fox entertainment

Max DeYoung

Hawley explained this to McCaskill , taking 51.5% of the vote to McCaskill's 45.4%.

She faces an uphill battle in Missouri, which overwhelmingly went for Trump in 2016 and 2020.

The last time democrats denied human rights to a group of people, it ended badly for them. They better stop denying rights to people for the second time.

Zaos/Justin What rights are you talking about that were taken away?

Jesus doesn't play politics, but if he did he wouldn't be a Dem/Soc/Commy either.

Jack L

The last I heard Jesus Christ isn`t a registered Republican. If he is, I must have missed something

Jennifer M

You have a crystal ball or something?

Adam

Like conservatives denying a woman to make her own decisions about her body? Or men and women choosing who they wish to marry?

Max DeYoung

No, unless Trump endorses her! ROTFLOL!

Lida Vitt

Because of the very bad job the Democratic Party has done, and continues to do for the American people.

Mark Cunningham

Democrats need a candidate to unite the voters and that just is not happening anytime soon.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Harry D

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
