https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/30/us/politics/claire-mccaskill-crazy-democrats.html"The crazy Democrats are the people who walk into restaurants and scream in elected officials faces. The crazy Democrats are we have a state senator here in Missouri that actually advocated for the assassination of President Trump, Ms. McCaskill said, referring to State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who made the remark on Facebook last year. Thats a crazy Democrat.
Does she think any of her colleagues in the United States Senate are crazy Democrats?
Well, I would say this, I would not call my colleagues crazy, Ms. McCaskill told the interviewer, Bret Baier. But Elizabeth Warren sure went after me when I advocated tooling back some of the regulations for small banks and credit unions. I certainly disagree with Bernie Sanders on a bunch of stuff."

(1,382 posts)show him in a Restaurant with customers in the background getting in other diners faces until a fight breaks out. Its obvious the commercial is referring to the people getting into politicians faces while they are out to dinner.
He goes on to say that He isn't one of "those" politicians, and that he just wants to keep the peace.
I wonder if there is some inner polls telling these politicians (Missouri and Indiana) that the voters don't like these confrontations, and they are trying to back away from them.
Whatever it takes to win.......
