Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill is down 4 points to her Republican challenger Josh Hawley with less than a day before Missouri voters send her packing. She tried sending anonymous mailers accusing her opponent of being soft on gun rights and that didn’t work, so all she has left is to distance herself from her own party. In a last ditch effort to save her ass, she is trying to convince voters she isn’t Hillary Clinton. Technically that’s true, but she’s pretty damn close and there’s no room for a Hillary clone in a red state like Missouri.
CNN reporter Rebecca Berg reports from the campaign trail:
Hillary Clinton is part of Josh Hawley’s stump speech in the final stretch. “The more I listen to Sen. McCaskill the more she reminds me of (Clinton),” he says. Ticks off ways McCaskill is “just like Hillary.” https://t.co/DQr4yFe5I5

It’s either the hair or the bullshit, but Hawley is right; McCaskill does seem eerily similar to Hillary Clinton. In a panic, McCaskill responded:
McCaskill responds: “People in this state know I’m not Hillary Clinton.” https://t.co/GyepRYiW7I

Do they? McCaskill was the first Senator to support Hillary’s doomed 2016 presidential run and was a delegate for her at the Democratic National Convention.
Berg didn’t report on what all of the points that Josh Hawley compared McCaskill to Hillary were, but I found a few similarities:
Both are women who are annoying to listen to and horrifying to look at.
Both are full of shit.
Both have severed in the US Senate without accomplishing anything.
Both a rich, but didn’t work to achieve their wealth.
Both are too rich to drive.
Both dye their grey hair blonde.
Both were born when Harry S. Truman was president.
Both have earned an “F” rating from the NRA.
Both are married to men who abuse women. Bill Clinton has been accused of raping and groping numerous women. McCaskill’s husband has been accused of beating the shit out of his ex-wife.
Both live in gingerbread houses and eat children. Okay, maybe I made this last one up but I defy anyone to fact-check this and prove it wrong. They are witches (sorry, my spellcheck keeps changing the “B” to a “W”).
The only real difference I can see between McCaskill and Clinton is that Hillary mistakenly thinks pantsuits are a smart fashion choice while Claire believes blazers are the way to go.
Obviously McCaskill wants to distance herself from Hillary, because she’s trying to hold on to her Senate seat in a reliably Republican state and democrats are like vampires to Missourians. This does point out what a ridiculous party the democrats have. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi are rocks stars on the liberal coasts, but Middle America democrats have to pretend like they don’t exist.
That then points to how democrats do not represent the entire country, but only a liberal lunatic fringe. The only way a democrat can get elected outside of the liberal enclaves is by pretending to be anything but a democrat. The democrats’ message is pure bullshit because they have to hide it from voters in most of this country.
Missouri is the “show me” state and McCaskill has shown the voters what a fraud she is. She’s definitely going down. Another similarity between her and Clinton is the day after the election she can wander around the woods crying, while blaming racists, sexists, and the Russians for her loss.
