Outgoing Sen. McCaskill bashes Democrats for failing to gain trust with the deplorables, a recipe for disaster for Democrats
She went along with the other senate democrats disrespecting deplorables in the disaster but at least she paid the price for it. One less Swamp Critter in the D.C. swamp.
She can blame whomever she wants but she basically wrote her own resignation when she joined the pile-on against Kavanaugh. If she'd had the guts to stand up against the people she's currently blaming she'd have at least stood a chance of being re-elected.

She says she is free to tell the truth now.
I suppose its liberating when the lies are no longer required to be a retired politician.
Okay, so here's a question for you: Which of the "deplorable" Trump supporters in this forum would you consider to be willing to trust Democrats? Which of them would be willing to start acknowledging the truth of the major newspapers, such as the New York Times and Washington Post? That would be the first essential step, for them to start trusting reality.
It seems to me that people who slavishly follow a man whose documented lies number in the thousands, who has bragged about sexually grabbing women, who cozies up to authoritarian murderers but alienates our traditional allies - how can they deserve respect?

Yep. It was mind-boggling to me that she decided to vote against Kavanaugh, even after winning her party's nomination (she didn't have to pander for votes against a more left wing loon anymore) and after it became clear that the GOP had the votes to confirm (even if only by a bare bones number). But the vote against Kavanaugh definitely killed her reelection chances, as it did Donnelly in Indiana, Nelson in Florida, and Heitkamp in North Dakota. I honestly thought she had a chance after receiving the influx of donations from Hollywood/leftist elites after voting against Kavanaugh. Unfortunately for McCaskill, Missourians don't share the values of left wing elites, something you'd think she'd know after serving for as long as she did in the Senate.
Forty house seats, 6 governorships and hundreds of state legislature seats swung Democrat from Republican.
I wouldn't call that a mistake, so much.
The democrats do need to do more to draw in white males in rural-suburban districts, if they do that in by 2020 it won't be pretty for the GOP. Who exactly is the GOP base, two more years of Trump an those rust belt and coal miners will realize they have been sold a pack of lies.

Even when there is a hoof on the end.
