Missouri Democrat senator Claire McCaskill has just done something that tells me she can't win in November. She announced that she supports the Trump tax cuts. The senator couched that support by saying that she supports most of the tax cuts, but the meaning is unmistakable. Remember, this is the same senator who voted against and spoke against the tax cuts just a few months ago. After the law was passed, McCaskill was asked about the billions of dollars of bonuses that were being given to workers as a result of the tax cuts; she called those bonuses "scraps". The comment didn't play well in Missouri. Recent polling has put McCaskill 1% ahead of her likely Republican challenger, but the senator got about 42% of the vote. For an incumbent, anything less than 48% is a sign of maximum danger. So now good old Claire is busy trying to lie her way into getting people to forget that she opposed the tax cuts. That's a really important thing for the senator since the Democrats have already announced that if they regain control of Congress they want to RAISE taxes and end the Trump tax cuts. The people of Missouri are supposed to believe that after fighting against the tax cuts and voting against the tax cuts, McCaskill will reverse course and fight to keep them.
How dumb does she think the people of Missouri are?
