JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Republicans are coalescing around Attorney General Josh Hawley as their favored candidate to challenge veteran Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill in 2018, which would set up a marquee contest between a wily incumbent and an up-and-coming political newcomer in a state that's trending conservative.

McCaskill is among 10 Senate Democrats running in states won by President Donald Trump, making the Missouri race an opportunity to flip a Senate seat to Republicans. The GOP now has a narrow majority of 52 Senate seats.

Republican political strategist James Harris, who worked as a consultant with Hawley, says the 37-year-old attorney general would be a "perfect candidate."

But Hawley was just elected attorney general in 2016 and could come under attack for trying to hop from one political job to another.

1. This is a race that is a must win for democrats.

The longer she stays in office the better for the country and the possibility of turning the state towards the democratic majority.

2. My first question to this Hawley character

would be:

Do you think an act of treason was committed by your "republican" president and his cronies, would you if elected to the senate convict and impeach this criminal, and please no side show answer, of I got to see where the evidence leads, BS

What exactly is your position on conspiracy, obstruction of justice, bribery, fraud, lying, within the executive branch of the federal government?

Of course the 37 year would be perfect, BS, he is a "republican, what is his position on health care services?

Does he thinks that its all right and dandy, for state legislatures to roll back the federal minimum wage, like they are doing in good old Missouri, how does he handle that since he is after all the f*cking "republican attorney general of the state?

Do you think that , even though Greg Gianforte does not reside in your state, but now represent that law abiding state of Montana, and is the newly elected criminal in the republican party of simple assault and has a misdemeanor, and plead guilty, do you think he should have his mugshot and be fingerprinted, and if he does not do this what do you think he should be charged with, like contempt of court?

Tell everyone there Hawley your views on voting , do you subscribe to the Kris Kobach dogma?

I tell you what Hawley since I proposed my questions in the third person, I think I will do this...................
