In response to Jarad Perry of Missouri, I am also from Missouri but now live in Florida full time. If you want any further proof that Republican candidates from Missouri are crazy, look no further than five of the Republican candidates running for U.S. Senate to replace retiring Senator Roy Blunt. One, Vicky Hartzler who ran to Mar-A-Lago to get Trump's endorsement as soon as she announced her candidacy (she didn't get it). Two, Mark McCloskey is the "shoot them as you see them" male part of the couple who brandished guns and threatened protestors in their neighborhood. Three, Eric Schmidt the current Attorney General who was one of the first AG's to sign the petition started by the Texas AG to decertify the 2020 election. Four, Eric Greitens, the former Governor of Missouri, who resigned in disgrace due to multiple investigations into his sexual misconduct and campaign finance allegations. He is endorsed by Rudy Guiliani (need I say more!). Five, Billy Long a current U.S. Rep who chose Kelly Ann Conway as his campaign manager (need I say more!). So I think there is more than enough proof that the Republican voters and Republican candidates in Missouri are truly without character and integrity.

Ellen, look on the bright side -- you got out. I'm in Illinois, but five minutes from the Clark bridge (dumping directly into N. STL County), so we are considered "Metro East" or "On the Illinois Side." ALL of our local television is from St. Louis, so we get bashed to bits by the inane campaign ads financed by these clowns, and the bitch of it is -- we can't vote the idiots out. I honest to god cried when Hawley beat Claire McCaskill. Ah, well . . . I hope you're enjoying Florida!

Your loss was the country's gain, Sheri. I don't mean Hawley -- no, no, no, no, no! I mean the rest of us now have the benefit of the daily commentary by Claire McCaskill on MSNBC.

We are enjoying living in Florida. But it's not much better down here. Ron DeSantis is a mini-Trump. I think he is the only Republican who can "out do" Trump when it comes to pandering to the base.
