Missouri Race
The current race for Missouri definitely seems more intense and interesting than other races. Upon doing some research I found that Missouri has tended to be a Republican state in the past, giving the Republicans an advantage in the senate. However now the democratic candidate Jason Kander is giving the current republican senator roy blunt a run for his money. Many assume all democrats are liberals, just like republicans are seen as conservative, so Blunt had been attempting to label Kander as a liberal in a mainly conservative state. However Kander shot back real quick with his video assembling a ar-15 while blindfolded. While Trump will win Missouri no doubt, Kander winning the seat in the senate could give democrats the position to control the senate. While Missouri is only 10 points in the presidential election, neither presidential candidate has made any competition. The biggest donations for each side have originated out of state, showing how much a advantage in the senate means. What makes it really interesting is how Trump's campaign seems to be helping Kander. Trump has been criticizing many people in the government as being "insiders" and Kander has used that to label Blunt as one of those insiders. So he has made it seem that Trump's entire message is to get rid of Blunt, making the republican Trump supporters of Missouri vote for a democratic senator.
