1. How dare Claire have a preference???!!!

The outrage!

[ThePhilosopher04]

6. Preference is one thing ...

Trashing the only true liberal running for President, for being liberal, is another.

[joeybee12]

7. How the eff is she trashing him?

The author's title is misleading...she doesn't unload...she says he's too liberal...her opinion...ffs people slight criticim is not trashing...let's hope Bernie has a thicker skin than you all do.

And notice how it focuses on Claire when O'Malley is the one really trashing him...but now, let's hate Hillary some more...it's DU's favorite pasttime.

[truebrit71]

10. By using the word 'socialist' as a slur...

...you know...just like the republicans do...

[LanternWaste]

18. No doubt, the irrational mind will pretend that "the only true liberal running" is objective analysi

No doubt, the irrational mind will pretend that "the only true liberal running" is objective analysis rather than a slur of exclusion... and then tortuously justify it as something neither insulting nor biased (i.e., holding others to a higher standard than one hold themselves to). Thus illustrating for all the power of bias.

part two (for all the petulant irrelevance it's worth)

[notadmblnd]

33. For example. What was omitted from that article she said on Morning Joe today

"He's a radical."

So, you consider Clair McCaskill a Hillary surrogate? Cause, I didn't see Hillary's name mentioned.

[leftofcool]

56. joey is a long time poster.

Is there something You wanted, new poster?

[erronis]

95. Dem's fighting words, pardner. See you at noon outside the saloon.

Just working on my "oldster" status. There are some impressive #s after a lot of peoples names.

When I get up into the 10,000 range I'll be able to post comments without refutation.

Personally, I think a lot of the terms that the fine GOP has used as slander need to be brought back to their proper place. I don't have a dictionary handy, but "liberal", "progressive", "socialist" are terms of pride and intelligence.

[leftofcool]

135. LMAO!

How far is it to the saloon? It's hot and us old folks don't do well in the heat. Can we do this around Christmas?

[wyldwolf]

106. what is it with new-ish posters asking people 'who are you?' and 'whoever you are.'

Maybe they've hacked into the secret paid Hillary supporters database?

[leftofcool]

136. Oh damn! We've been hacked!

Better clean the super secret server and move it to a different garage.

[TBF]

109. Unbelievable -

I'm not on the Hillary program, but I can tell you joeybee is a long time good poster. His care for rescue cats astounds me. And you are way out of line.

[marym625]

58. "you all"?

7th reply and it's "you all"? I do hope that you don't get this upset this easily out there in the real world.

I'm teasing you. Just found it kinda funny.

I'm fine with her comments. I think they'll help Bernie. Bring on the too liberal!

[noiretextatique]

161. red scare b.s.

absolutely teabag-worthy.

[Enthusiast]

67. Why the smear?

[BeanMusical]

127. They have nothing else?

[djean111]

2. Interesting contrast - as usual - Bernie's liberalism vs Hillary's money.

[Bernie 2016]

3. McCaskill is pro-TPP

She lost all credibility, and her association to Ms. Clinton just makes it worse for Ms. Clinton's candidacy.

[jwirr]

11. Corporatists stick together.

[Bernie 2016]

14. Indeed. If people would see them for exactly they are,

then it would be already over.

[Enthusiast]

72. Yes they do.

[dreamnightwind]

151. Have A Cigar

from have A Cigar, Pink Floyd:

Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy (change to girl)?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

[Oilwellian]

15. Indeed

McCaskill just voted for the trade agreement that a large majority of Dems voted against. I think the corporate Dems are glaringly obvious and woefully unpopular right now.

[appalachiablue]

27. +1 And Claire needs to mind her own house, Missouri is not doing well these days.

[hifiguy]

51. McCaskill leans strongly DINO. nt

[PFunk]

81. Was about to say that.

And aren't those type of dems we don't want now?

[Duval]

107. Yes! nt

[Octafish]

4. TPP, for the Walmartization of America

Thanks, Sen. McCaskill, for hitting every one of today's Team Talking Points.

[Enthusiast]

73. It was perfectly disgusting. They are all over this on Reddit.

[Octafish]

117. It's down to a science.

The art of propaganda. "Treetops Propaganda."

"Treetops propaganda" is aimed at "the leaders of society". "Its immediate purpose is to set the terms of debate, to determine the kinds of questions that will dominate public discussion - in a word to set the political agenda in ways that are favourable to corporate interests." It includes the activities of think tanks, which produce, promote and disseminate market oriented "policy research", the pressures placed on government to introduce legislation and on academics to produce research that suits the corporate purpose. -- Alex Carey, via http://www.ratical.org/ratville/RiskDemo.html

[ThePhilosopher04]

5. This is exactly why I WILL NOT vote for Clinton ...

under any circumstances. Sad day when you send your surrogates out there to trash a true liberal. Embarrassing.

[cascadiance]

34. Clinton has to wonder that with "friends" like McCaskill "on her side"...

... how many more enemies McCaskill is creating for Clinton on the campaign trail if she accepts DINO McCaskill's support! As many out there that are fed up with DINOs would say, "It takes a DINO to know and like a DINO!", which would kind of deter from Hillary Clinton's efforts to try and *appear* more progressive to voters she knows are moving left in the party!

[-none]

138. "Birds of a feather", comes to mind.

But, if you think McClaskill is bad, wait till you see Roy Blunt(R). Missouri sent them both.

[cascadiance]

139. But at least Clinton won't be "hurt" by an endorsement by Blunt...

I do think if Hillary really wants to claim that she's more progressive now, she's going to have to watch which "birds" have her feather with her, to keep people from seeing that she's on the other end of the measuring stick from where they want her to be.

[leftofcool]

66. So, you'll be voting Republican?

Interesting.

[marym625]

77. You have that saved to just repost?

I think you should save that for closer to the general election. Or maybe even closer to the primaries. Just for fun. Spring it on us. It'll be a great surprise to hear then.

[BrotherIvan]

90. ...

[marym625]

97. Thanks

I cracked me up. I hope leftofcool found it funny.

[BrotherIvan]

100. Maybe not

But this whole thread is my favorite. And it shows how easily their shit can be defeated. I'm am just LOVING her campaign. If this is how they are going to act this early, then Bernie has a shot. They're trying to copy the Obama gameplan but the trouble is, they don't have the same quarterback.

Too liberal? Already??

[Scuba]

144. +1

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

[BrotherIvan]

145. Bernie don't surf!

[davidpdx]

113. She's doing the same bullshit she did in 2008

And when one of her surrogates goes too far, that person will do a quick mea culpa with the non-apology apology and say "sorry if you were offended" and the Clinton camp will quietly stop using the person as their attack dog. Repeat...rinse.

[The Green Manalishi]

164. That has been a sound strategy since Athens and Rome.

Unfortunately.

[Historic NY]

8. Outrage much she declared two years ago before this Bernie guy came along...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/19/us/politics/mccaskill-lends-support-to-group-urging-2016-clinton-run.html

[EndElectoral]

9. McCaskill - Pro-TPP, Pro-Keystone Pipeline, she's a DINO.

The Washington Post ranked her as the second-most-likely to vote against her party. Most likely was Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who’s not running for reelection.

She’s voted several times with Republicans on environmental issues. She’s also co-sponsored a number of bills with Republicans, such as the Earmark Elimination Act of 2011 with Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fl.), and she supports a balanced budget amendment.

[truebrit71]

13. ^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^

[appalachiablue]

28. Thanks, I appreciate the info.

[cascadiance]

29. DOUBLE the reasons to primary her when she comes up for reelection!!

She probably doesn't care though, as she probably knows that when her term comes up it will be time for her to move on to a revolving door promised her rather than bother trying to get reelected, which probably won't be very likely in today's climate where DINOs are going to be increasingly PROPERLY shown the door!

[dorkzilla]

111. ^^^^^^^^A million trillion times THIS^^^^^^^^^^^

Seriously Hillary is using this woman as a surrogate? Why not just use Lindsey Graham, they seem to be like-minded.

Hey, now that I think about it I’ve never seen Claire and Lindsey in the same room together.....hmmmmmmm......

[Prism]

12. Why aren't the media red-baiting enough?!

Don't worry, Claire, they will.

"Untouchable"

No politician should be untouchable. Ever. That is the essence of an anti-democratic sentiment.

I think we're getting a nice glimpse into how entitled people in power can get to feeling when they've been there too long.

[BrotherIvan]

60. They should put her on every news channel

It's just the most brilliant campaign strategy and she is the most charming, effective surrogate evah. More! More! Mo McCaskill!!!

[Prism]

68. Oooh, she can be this year's Geraldine Ferraro!

Excellent plan. I wholeheartedly approve.

[BrotherIvan]

87. I want her face and her voice to become the face of the campaign

She is so warm and classy. People just love her! Brilliant!!

[grasswire]

76. Clair probably has been promised a cabinet post...

.....or an ambassadorship.

[awoke_in_2003]

157. With her voting record

I'm thinking comfy lobbying job

[marym625]

94. +1000

[bunnies]

16. And then she trash talked single payer.

Guess we know where Hillary stands on that one.

[BlueJazz]

17. "I very rarely read in any coverage of Bernie that he’s a socialist"

This one is a pit viper. Please pass the plate of passive-aggressive.

[FlatBaroque]

26. Pit vipers are interesting creatures

Do not insult pit vipers

[BlueJazz]

30. Your words ring true. Forgive my lack of Snake Etiquette.

[FlatBaroque]

36. commonly referred to as snetiquette

[CharlotteVale]

19. Can't stand her.

[Le Taz Hot]

20. So, they're stepping up their game

and sending out surrogates. Internet trolls were not having the effect they were hoping, apparently. They're worried.

[WillyT]

22. That's What I'm Thinking Too...

[Divernan]

75. Can internet trolls collect unemployment, or are they unpaid "volunteers"?

[Rex]

132. The TPP will have a 'retraining program' for them! NO worries!

[Art_from_Ark]

152. No, worries!

The training program was voted down, remember?

[Rex]

159. I was being sarcastic.

Oh come on now! There will be a GUSH of jobs that pay a million dollars an hour! Any day now! For you and me! The TPP!

[Art_from_Ark]

162. Yeah, I knew you were being sarcastic

I just forgot to include the proper smilie to convey that

[awoke_in_2003]

158. Of course, just like 08

Let the surrogates do the slander, then sit back and claim plausible deniability

[riderinthestorm]

21. I see we've moved past the "first they ignore you".stage

Im thinking this is progress for Bernie Sanders

[WillyT]

23. LOL !!!

[nc4bo]

25. Dittoheading!!

[cui bono]

38. And that quivering is not from laughing... Stage 3...

FEEL THE BERN!!!

[hifiguy]

53. Eeyup.

The Gandhi graphic has already been posted.

24. Gutierrez, Lanny Davis and now McCaskill

thanks for sharing the D-Team, whose on the A-team?

[appalachiablue]

31. Lame, lame & lame-

[Indepatriot]

55. Bubba is the ATeam, of course. Can't wait for some "offhand" commentary from him....

[winter is coming]

61. I doubt you'll be waiting for long. n/t

[grasswire]

85. Bubba is Hillary's Barbara Bush...

.....just a little more artful.

[KingCharlemagne]

105. Something about 'hard working Christians, ' no doubt. - nt

[Dragonfli]

148. well, "hard working white people" was the go to attack on the politician of color

So your likely right regarding the go to on the Jewish politician.

[Orsino]

32. Did she get around to any matters of policy disagreement?

Or Is she not treating Sanders as a serious candidate, either?

[arcane1]

43. "Dismiss him as unelectable" seems to be the marching order of the week.

Discussing actual policy differences is a huge risk, since his policies are backed by the majority (whether they realize it yet or not!) and highlighting those differences will only show how bankrupt the Wall Street side is.

[BrotherIvan]

62. ^^This

[leftofcool]

59. No, but it looks like O'Malley is going to.

[JI7]

35. you must be new to politics

[frylock]

37. Well at least she didn't refer to him as what's his name.

[FlatBaroque]

39. It seems to me, just like in 2008

that every repugnant, abhorrent, DINO in the country is a Hillary surrogate. Find a likeable, honest, progressive Democrat who attacks for Hillary. Just find one. I can just imagine what a Hillary cabinet will look like.

[arcane1]

40. She thinks "socialist" is an insult, and he's getting a free pass because he's not called that?

Fuck pro-corporate "Democrats".

[HappyMe]

41. Not unexpected.

This from her, and an attack ad from O'Malley.

The machine is in working order.

[LondonReign2]

42. Third Way Corporatist McKaskill supports Hillary?

I'm stunned, STUNNED, I tell you.

[Enthusiast]

80. Yes, it is shocking.

[cascadiance]

44. She might want to keep an even lower profile if she returns to Portland...

... to see her family. Noting here that she was here for Mother's Day

https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/597168054708015104

We're already mad enough with almost our entire congressional delegation except Pete DeFazio and Jeff Merkley for their traitorous votes on the TPP/TPA as well. I wonder if she was meeting with the other traitors while up here.

[AgingAmerican]

45. "He's too liberal"

She said it.

He isn't right wing enough for her.

[cascadiance]

46. The statement of all DINOs as they are ready to go through the revolving door somewhere else!

[winter is coming]

69. "He's too liberal..." about what?

Which specific positions are "too liberal"? How many parts per billion is "liberal" allowed to be before it's unsafe?

[AgingAmerican]

88. It is becoming apparent they will be attacking him from the right

Also, she mentioned no issues and attacked him personally.

If this is the road Hillary wants to travel down, it will not go well for her. She completely self destructed when she went negative against Obama.

[florida08]

123. LOL

Great response.

[Doctor_J]

47. What is the difference between a Hillarian and a republican?

I don't know either.

[SunSeeker]

119. Republicans are anti-choice and anti-ACA. Hillary supports choice and the ACA. nt

[BeanMusical]

134. I'm not so sure that if these 2 issues stood between her and the Presidency

she wouldn't do a 180.

[BeanMusical]

120. Lol!

[tularetom]

48. They can't even get their stories straight

Yesterday Sanders was a racist gun nut.

Today this dope is whining that he's "too liberal for America".

With surrogates like McCaskill and the loathsome Lanny Davis, and Clinton's tin ear ("All lives matter&quot , they're doing Sen Sanders' job for him.

[winter is coming]

74. Maybe racist gun nuts are too liberal?? n/t

[marym625]

49. "Too liberal" is much worse than "socialist"

Absolutely THE code words, "too liberal "

And what does that tell us right off the bat? Somebody, I won't say who, but somebody, is not so liberal. Wink wink nod nod



Doing the Bernie bounce

[BrotherIvan]

70. ^^Yuuuuuuuuup

Wink wink, it's all for show, wink wink, dirty hippies and all. Oops!! Captain, turn this ship, we're heading for an iceberg!!

[marym625]

84. LOL!

"The Dirty Fucking Hippies WERE RIGHT!"

[BrotherIvan]

98. Shh! DON'T MENTION THE WAR!

[marym625]

99. Damn it!

I forgot what talking points were allowed!

I will go to my corner and think long and hard about what's important here.

[AgingAmerican]

126. Too Liberal = Not Right Wing Enough

nt

[hifiguy]

50. Remind me again how much credibility McCaskill has.

Oh yeah, zero.

[magical thyme]

54. coming from a treasonous traitor who sold out our sovereignty in direct

violation of the will of the majority for her personal gain, I'll give her statement all the consideration it deserves.

Which is, none. Claire McCaskill and the other traitors can burn in hell for eternity for all I care.

[leftofcool]

63. LMAO!

Yea, then you can get a whole slew of rethuglicans to control all three branches of government.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

57. Birds of a Third Way feather flock together.

[erronis]

64. Stupid question (as always). Is there a similar site as DU that may be less "liberal"?

I really like to get several sides of every coin. Can anyone recommend 2 or more sites that would be worthwhile looking at to see varying "Democratic" viewpoints? I'd really like to find some that are pretty fervently pro-Hillary or other candidates.

I think I know many of the RW sites and will dip into on flyby's when needed (cleansing my wings after.)

However I haven't run into many such as DU that have active discussions. WaPo, NYT, etc. perhaps, but they are really establishment versus pro-corporatist blogs.

[Rex]

65. Sounds like some Third Way garbage, gee I wonder if she voted FOR the TPP?

Would she be one of the traitors that voted WITH the Republican Party? What is it with neoliberals and their 'free trade' and their pretending to be DEMS?

BE SCARED THIRD WAY APOLOGISTS, you have a good reason to be with Bernie Sanders in the race!

[erinmblair]

146. Of course she voted for it!

Claire McCaskill voted for the Trade Promotion Authority AKA Fast Track!

[magical thyme]

71. the comments are great....

Samsays •3 hours ago

I'm looking forward to substantive debates between Hillary and Bernie. Thick with issues that really matter to the people, in detail.

I can assure you that if all Hillary does is what Senator McCaskill has done here -- "He's a socialist!" and "He's unelectable!" -- then Hillary will lose.

Unlike Senator McCaskill, the American people want real substance.

Chris Goodman> Samsays •3 hours ago

Me too. Bernie is a honest man running for higher office. I hope he will give tough time to Hillary. go Bernie,..

Haha. I can assure that Hillary is NOT looking forward to this experience!

race_to_the_bottom> Jennifer Howell •42 minutes ago

This is so true, Jennifer. "Infantaiizing" is such a great descriptive term. People have to realize that they have to stop being consumers of political pap and begin to think and act like real citizens again. The times and their future demand it.

MrTonyD> Paul Rizzo •an hour ago

He can veto on our behalf. And use executive orders. That is more than we have right now with our Harvard-educated, multimillionaire, wall-street-financed, lawyer president.

He can also educate the public about his policies - supporting Warren and others and perhaps changing the outcome of future elections.

So, to answer your question, he can do a lot.



independent man> Samsays •35 minutes ago

Senator McCaskill is a carbon copy of Hillary. A elite super rich, white privilege class member. Democratic Senators like her, also called Franklin D Roosevelt a socialist, when he fought for social security benefits and medicare, for the poor and elderly. These moderate dixiecrats, that like to wave their confederate flags, behind closed doors, belong in the Republican party.
Bernie Sanders is a true Democrat, that cares about all the American people, not the nasty politics of hate and division.
△ ▽



NameNames> Samsays •44 minutes ago

Hillary is a lying, former WalMart Board member, who also supports free trade, the NSA, war, debt and is in the pockets of the Wall Street crime syndicates.

Oh yeah, she also VOTED for the Iraq war - how any self respecting left wing American can vote for this monster is astounding.

She is a despicable sellout of humanity, and will do nothing for the people of America. While she is summering on the Hamptons she is assuring the .01 percent that she will be their gal on the Hill, humanity be damned.

[Divernan]

86. Lots of righteous anger toward HRC there. Good Reading!

[Metric System]

142. I wonder how many of those are paid Republican plants?

[Dopers_Greed]

78. By far one of the worst "Dem" senators

She only won because she was up against Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin

[azmom]

79. I recognize her from the Ferguson case

http://www.theroot.com/articles/politics/2014/10/are_politicians_influencing_justice_in_ferguson.html

"There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. Senator McCaskill's office has pushed the Department of Justice to declare an end to the DOJ investigation if a decision of no-indictment is issued by the grand jury," a high-ranking government official told The Root.

[McKim]

82. She May Find Out She is Not Liberal Enough Next Time Around

Maybe in the next election she will find that she is not liberal enough! I would so enjoy that. Voted for TPP? Very out of touch!

[silvershadow]

83. The usual suspects. Claire McCaskill is barely a Democrat as is. nt

[Divernan]

96. Male politicians don't have a lock on selling out.

[Bluenorthwest]

89. There is no endorsement finer than a sound condemnation from Claire McCaskill.

nt

[cascadiance]

140. And her endorsement is probably a pretty fine condemnation too!

Hillary might want to be careful who she has vocally endorsing her now!

[Enthusiast]

91. Claire McCaskill has such appeal. I'm sure just millions will follow her.

[abelenkpe]

92. "Bernie is too liberal"

Too liberal. From a democrat. Really illustrates all that is wrong with the democratic party today. Talk about losing your way.

[deutsey]

129. That's what I thought, too

That along with her red-baiting.

[Art_from_Ark]

156. I wonder what she would say about Robert Kennedy

[MisterP]

93. this talk isn't to convince primary voters, it's to build up associations in their head

they're not arguing Sanders will never make it or that Americans will think he's too far left when the backs what 70-90% of them consistently demand, they just want the thoughts "still behind in polls" and "America won't go for someone really liberal" to pop up whenever they think "Sanders"--regardless of what else they think

[KingCharlemagne]

101. It was only a matter of time before Hillary or her

proxies descended to red-baiting. I think Sanders is now fully entitled to mention the blood of 1,000,000+ dead Iraqi civilians dripping from Hillary's hands. You want to call Sanders a 'Socialist' to try to tear him down, then be prepared to have your candidate called a mass murderer, either modern history's biggest dupe or something far, far worse.

[restorefreedom]

147. i think bernie is too classy to call her a mass murderer

but come debates, he will hit her hard on the iwr, wall st support, and the tpp, among other things. he has to keep drilling it that she is a major hawk. people are sick of wars. and she will get us into another one.

[G_j]

102. darn if they can't get that "socialist" label to stick! nt

[StarzGuy]

133. Since when did "socialism" become a dirty word?

Considering social security, medicare, US highway projects, etc. are also socialistic andyet no one calls them that. I'm proud to be an American Socialist Democrat like Sanders. The narrative needs to stop. Which countries have, well, just about the best of systems out there for their people? That's the social democratic countries like Sweden.

Capitalistic democracies such as ours is survival of the fittest and if you don't fit in then you are a taker who is to be loathed and marginalized.

I don't like to track our country is on, has been on, since the 1970's

[G_j]

150. agreed, and

I think the reason they can't make it 'stick', is that people may even be ready for it, as they see someone who is honest, straight forward and fair....and smart!

[liberal N proud]

103. So we are attacking other Democrats for making a Democratic choice?

I have yet to make up my mind, yet I see this as her making her choice. It may not agree with what some here wanted her to do, but still it is a choice and it is "HER" choice.

[Dont call me Shirley]

104. Claire I used to vote for you before I left Misery. Wish I hadn't now.

[TBF]

108. They're scared -

and they have good reason to be. Bernie is appealing to both progressives and moderates. He can win this. Not all of us are "ready for Hillary".

[40RatRod]

110. IMHO...

...I don't see this as unloading.

[kenfrequed]

112. McCaskill isn't terribly loyal.

She distanced herself from her party and the president and has been a fairly corporate democrat for quite some time. I really don't give much of a crap what she thinks.

[Demeter]

114. Claire voted for TPP, Mass Unemployment and Job Loss

Yes, we know where she AND Hillary stand...on our backs!

[Politicub]

115. Really don't like seeing one democrat bash another

It doesn't do anyone any good in the end. The benefactor is the GOP and never the democratic opponent.

[restorefreedom]

149. unfortunately it is the bloodbath of primaries

all we can hope for is that our guy or gal doesn't get as beaten up as the one on the Republican side and is more likely to appeal to the general election voter. sad all around.

[valerief]

116. Ee-yew! Claire McCenter trying to smear Sanders with the tainted "socialist" label, one, BTW,

he proudly wears.

[fredamae]

118. Well, I am going to follow

claire's and the other loyal Wall Street/Corp Wing members of the Dem Party's example on how I respond.

I will respond to them/their words, promises, predictions, speeches and advice with the same interest in the same way they have responded to the American people and most importantly...their constituencies......I wlll "slam the proverbial door in their faces"...additionally I can and will also pretend "they're not there"...as they do when we call...on big issues....in overwhelming majority support Or opposition to "XYZ".

It's only fair.

[Depaysement]

121. Well, I'm not ready

If Bernie is a socialist and his supporters are socialists, then why should they support Hillary, who is not a socialist, in the General Election? They should stay home. Who cares which non-socialist gets in?

While there are very important differences between the two candidates, the truth is that Sanders and Clinton voted the same way over 90% of the time.

[StarzGuy]

122. McCaskill is also a DINO...

...a DINO who voted for passage of the TPA, Fast track and assuredly will vote for the TPP. She needs to be primary-ed out of office along with the other 12 DINO's who voted the same way in the Senate.

124. McCaskill brags on being an "independent" who votes against her Party

I just got this email from Claire today...

Dear xxxxxx,

I haven't always made leaders in my party very happy, and I've stepped on some toes since coming to the Senate, but that's okay - I'm here to get results for you.

A new analysis by the Washington Post highlighted that fact when they ranked me among the most independent Senators - and one most likely to vote against my own party.

According to the analysis: ..."we looked at every vote taken in the House and Senate so far in the 114th Congress. We figured out the majority position for each party (in cases where it was not unanimous) and compared every member of each body's vote against the party majority." - Washington Post.

Here's a look at the results: (a chart showing among Democrats who vote "against the Party majority," she is #4)

During my time in the Senate, I've fought to cap federal spending, abolish unnecessary federal agencies and end Congressional earmarks. It's those battles, which consistently find me ranked in the moderate middle, that help me achieve concrete results for Missourians - to expand job opportunities, cut wasteful spending, and help clean up Washington so folks have a little more confidence in their federal government.

All the best,

P.S. It's your voice that matters most. Share your thoughts via email, or find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter

So it's interesting & illuminating who she is endorsing.

131. A Dem complaining someone is too Liberal for the party?

The irony is rich.

137. Doesn't anyone remember...........

How much Barack Obama was dissed by everyone? I fought, and fought, and fought, and my REPUBLICAN neighbors voted for him. The right person at the right time.

141. Evening Kick !!!

143. apparently her buzzwords of the day were "

socialist
extreme
serious candidate




It must be horrifying to see someone else actually getting some traction.

Like '08 all over again except this time it's a wild haired older guy who has a sincere message

The best thing Hillary could do is to ignore him, and NOT trash him. It makes her team look petty and meanspirited..and that did not work well last time.

I only wish Bernie was a 50-something.. At his age, I doubt he could win..even though he's healthy .

153. Whatever, Claire.

She certainly doesn't influence my opinion. I disagree with her votes often.
