political career on virtual life support, some wonder how long (MO governor) Greitens can hang on

Members of the Missouri House delivered a big blow to Gov. Eric Greitens this month when they released a startling report on the GOP chief executive’s conduct. The details prompted some on both sides of the aisle to call on Greitens to resign, a demand the governor resisted.

Then came the following week, which featured a full collapse of Greitens’ political support and darkening cloud of legal developments.



Questions about The Mission Continues fundraising list. An unprecedented call from the General Assembly’s legislative leaders to resign. A judge’s decision not to throw out his felony invasion of privacy case. And finally on Friday afternoon, another felony charge from St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner.

This Trump wannabe has pissed off many in his own party and now that he might need them, I suspect that they will enjoy watching him twist in the wind.

His disgusting selfishness helps our cause (especially McCaskill).

Seems like he's trying to take a page out of Trump's playbook. Deny and go on offense.

What a sleazebag. Missouri, you can do better!
