Republicans also point to polling in the 2014 Senate race in Kansas, which showed Sen. Pat Roberts virtually tied with opponent Greg Orman until the final week. Roberts won by 11 points.

“I fully expect Roy Blunt is going to be re-elected,” Missouri GOP chairman John Hancock said.

But the GOP poll was taken before a videotape surfaced of Donald Trump’s lewd comments during a 2005 television taping. If the popularity of the Republican nominee for president dips dramatically in Missouri, strategists in both parties said, Blunt’s prospects could dim.

That makes the state even more important in November.

1. Cheer up, Roy.

You always have Armageddon to look forward to. Any minute now.

4. He didn't seem to lose any support when he dumped his first wife of many years,

and married a Phillip Morris lobbyist.

You'd think Missouri would be tired of this dirtbag by now.

5. That's GOP family values for you.

I had forgotten all about that. It's a wonder he didn't serve his first wife the divorce papers while she was in the hospital (as Republicans are fond of doing).

Thanks as always for the historical perspective, Judi.

2. We really have to keep up momentum

These races will tighten up

I'd be very relieved to hear the 3rd debate is cancelled

Isn't Cheeto insulting the debate commission?

3. I disagree. I'd like even more "debates." He makes it very clear what...

...the Republican brand is in an unmistakable way.

One hopes that the Republicans will disintegrate and that two new parties will emerge; one that can become sane with treatment, and the other the pyscho ward.

We actually benefit by having a sane opposition; but it's clear that the current Republican party must dissolve before that can happen.

6. This Missouri mule is tired of that dirt-bag.

I'm sending you another Benjamin, Mr. (future Sen.) Kander!

Mr. Blunt, I'm sending you another big EFF-U! and another one for your horse.

7. and if this doesn't say it ALL?! What are you waiting for Missouri!? Vote out typical political BS

Blunt’s wife is a lobbyist, and his children Matt, Andy, and Amy are registered lobbyists.

“Today, Senator Blunt lives in a $1.6 million mansion in Washington,” Kander said during the Branson debate. “He’s not the same person.”
