Josh Hawley seems to have destroyed Claire McCaskill and will be Missouri's next United States senator, completing the total GOP takeover of Missouri. The Democrats have a congressional seat in St. Louis and one in Kansas City and that's all they've got left here.
I'm not quite sure what to say about that except, maybe, this. I'm old enough to remember when the Democrats owned this state. There might have been congressional Missouri Republicans here and there but the Donks ruled Show-Me-Land.
Harry Truman and all that.
Then there was one Missouri statewide GOP win. And another. And another. Then there started to be GOP pickups all over the place. Then Pukes stopped caring about the Civil War and about how their fathers and grandfathers voted back in the day.
Then the floodgates opened.
What, if anything, can the Democrats do about it? Check back.

Congratulations to Missouri!
The nation has gone schizophrenic. The best I can hope for is that the House leadership will go overboard, as the Senate Dems did, and cause a backlash.
Never underestimate the ability of Republicans to be stupid.
