Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo}.
This evening:
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The Heiress Valentine is a radical liberal.
She wants to buy a US Senate seat.
Not happening. Let’s go! [….]
7:48 PM · Sep 7, 2022
Evidently, we never get out of junior high school. Is someone living rent free inside your head?
Trudy Busch Valentine (D) [2022 file photo]
Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):
It certainly is terrible that anyone would buy a US Senate seat.
Would you tell us how much money Rex Sinquefield has given you directly and to the pacs that support your campaign?
There is that. Political hacks participate in unethical political hackery (June 7, 2022)
So…. Corporate Executives, Insurance companies & Real Estate companies are buying your seat? [….]
And they spent more attacking other Republicans, than defending you???
[….]
Please elaborate. If she’s “buying” it by being her biggest funder. Who is “buying” for you?
A woman with the means to fund the majority of her campaign is not asking constituents that are trying to pay their bills, to give her money. [….]
You think poor people owe you something?
Wait. Is she an old money oligarch or a radical liberal? I don’t think you even care bc this is just more disingenuous blather. The only thing you seem serious about is ignoring child abuse.
Eric backs traitorous trump. That’s all you need to know.
You’re having Missouri taxpayers buy yours.
Well, yes:

Yep, that was definitely a colossal waste of time and money.
The more you run your mouth and talk down to people, the more uplifting it becomes for your opponent. You are just a jealous man without a platform. You are what isn’t happening @Eric_Schmitt.
King Rex Sinquefield
You lie and grift for living off of the backs of hard working people.
The typical gop politician today.
That’s what you’re doing with dark money
Eric Schmitt is an extremist who want to make our medical decisions. Medical decisions should be made with a doctor not a Senator.
Vote for Trudy Busch Valentine!
For those of us concerned about the appalling amount of $$$ swirling around politics it’s aggravating that you’re running as this horrible divisive tool. No reasonable voter wants that. You could win just posting pics of your family & pork steaks. But instead, cruelty. No thanks.
I’d rather she buy it than you.
I found it very radical when you brought that nonsense lawsuit against my kids’ school. You want to demagogue your way into the Senate. I agreed with Trump that you were a worse option than Greitens for the nomination.
Gonna chainsaw something in your next ad?
In a blue gingham shirt?
She talks about healthcare for women and working for Missouri. You talk about dismantling the government and being on a holy quest. Also you signed in the trigger ban that stripped women of their rights after Roe was overturned. Who is the radical one again?
Private school boy Eric who lives in an $800,000 home is funded by Rex & hangs with a grifter [….]
Eric you are an absolutely horrible AG! I sincerely hope you lose! GFY
Remember this from June?:

Bob Jones (r) appears to be the annointed right wingnut:
…Life is the greatest gift. I will advocate for policies that respect the value of life from the moment of conception until natural death….
…Our children and grandchildren are the future, and their future depends upon a quality education. As a former educator, I understand that a one-size fits all approach does not work, and I will work to ensure that all of our students have access to a quality education….
…Whether for sport or protection, I strongly support your 2nd Amendment rights. I will work to push back against the Biden-Harris efforts to strip you of your Constitutional rights…
…The government does not need to be as costly or as difficult as it is. Just like you and I, our government must learn to live within its means. Also, elected officials and bureaucrats need to remember that they work for the taxpayer, so they should not make simple tasks nearly impossible with regulation and red tape…
…A good investment is worth protecting. Our state’s infrastructure is one of our greatest assets, and we must commit to maintaining and improving it…
Ben Brown (r), not so much:
…Ben Brown believes the primary role of government is to secure the rights of its people. His agenda centers upon restoring government to its intended role as well as advancing the principles of individual rights, limited government and free markets. Brown believes one of the top areas of concern right now is reforming emergency powers granted to local governments to ensure that religious freedom, parental rights, ability to safely conduct business, freedom to assemble and other constitutionally guaranteed rights are never infringed upon. Brown would also look to create safeguards to prevent the unconstitutional infringement of rights by the Federal government and other sources in the future…
Nate Tate (r), Merry-Noella Skaggs (r), and Jason Franklin (r) are probably feeling all that grassroots momentum about now…

C222160 07/29/2022 Gladius PAC Rex Sinquefield 244 Bent Walnut Lane Westphalia MO 65085 Retired 7/28/2022 $25,000.00

Where did the money go?:
For who?:
In support of:
“…As a champion for southwest Missouri values, Curtis [Trent (r)] is committed to defending the constitution and he will secure our right to bear arms as well as protect life from womb to tomb. Curtis will support small businesses and keep taxes low…”
Meh. The usual superficial right wingnut boilerplate.
Opposed to (in the republican primary):
[Brian Gelner] “…I am running for State Senate as a dad who wants to make sure my kids inherit a safer and stronger country, and as a small businessman who wants to bring my experience and conservative common-sense principles to state government…”
Meh. The usual right wingnut pseudo-populist “I’m not a career politician” boilerplate.
This primary is for all the marbles, there’s no opposition in the November General Election.
I’m rooting for a scoreless tie.
