McCaskill BS

     If asked, do I want dumb and bloated Claire McCaskill to win the upcoming Senate race in Missouri, I would answer, Putin style, "Yes I do, yes I do, because it might help convict Trump, when, as, and if impeached by the House".  Other than for this prospective benefit, "no" and I don't even know the Republic challenger.  Does it therefore follow that I support "all possible tactics" in her re-election campaign?  Answer, probably "yes" given my No-Trump imperative, but......hyping the "poor me, I'm being attacked by the Russians" nonsense, is borderline. 

     We all know that actual detail is irrelevant in broad claims of abuse, be it economic, sexual, criminal or political.  Cable news wants, and only needs, just a headline to start a partisan speculation frenzy.  Such is the case related to McCaskill's identity as the newest Russian "campaign interference target".  As the quietly reported facts indicate, about 10 months ago Microsoft was able to isolate a fake password reset page traceable to a Russia origin delivered to a McCaskill staff computer.  That appeared to be credible evidence that someone was phishing for an email entry.  Microsoft blocked the clandestinly delivered page and that was that.  Ten months later a Microsoft rep mentioned the block and Politico, a news agency unraveled and publicized.  This allowed the McCaskill campaign to acknowledge and amplify.

     Given McCaskill's eroded support in a Trump enamored State, she can't campaign on "Dump Trump".  What's left....scare all the on the fence independents and the rural/gullible Republicans with with what half the people in Southern Missouri already fear is an imminent takeover by Putin.

     Pretty sleazy, but hope it works, although even if she wins, it is likely that she will not stand strong.  She voted for Trump Tax and Gorsuch. She's just a nice old rich lady not out to make enemies during her "sundowner" years.
