The Missouri primary election is tomorrow. President Trump announced on Truth Social, that he will be making an endorsement today.
Republican Senator Roy Blunt is retiring and the top three candidates to replace him are former Governor Eric Greitens, Attorney General Eric Schmitt and U.S. Representative Vicky Hartzler.
The field of candidates also includes Congressman Billy Long, attorney Mark McCloskey and state Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz. However, Schmitt, Greitens and Hartzler are considered the frontrunners. It’s late in the race, but the endorsement from the great MAGA king will likely determine the winner.
Billy Long, also a Missouri candidate for US Senate stated on the radio last Friday that he predicted PTrump would endorse ‘Eric’.
Billy is a hoot and the Prez likes him.
I have only posted 2 time on this site in 10 yrs.
Vote your conscious in MO senate race either Eric.
I prefer one over the other I will support either in the general as will most.
Dems do not have a strong candidate and no other big ballot issues.
Only a small part of liberal St Louis County can oust Cori Bush- not my fight.
Most of North Country will be for Steve Roberts( BLM vs. AME)
Working the polls tomorrow.
What are you doing?
Great post Baltogirl. Thank you for your inspiration. God bless
I’m working the election also. I’m a special deputy.
Working the polls in beautiful MO Ozarks. Can’t tell you about cities, but MAGA crowd likely to show and vote, so…
You can always depend on rural Americans to support what is best for our Country!
Thank you
Why would anyone ever vote for Eric Grietens? He is extremely compromised and beholden to every person on Capitol Hill. He has a million skeletons in the closet. Not someone we need representing us.
You got the wrong Eric. Schmidt is owned by Rove/McConnell. Facts are stubborn things eh?
Please do not believe the media lies. The alleged “skeletons” were all put there by George Soros, Karl Rove, Mich McConnell and the media themselves. This is 2022, we have to be able to see beyond the spin and know the lies for what they are. Otherwise, we will carry on electing establishment stooges, and they will carry on selling out the country.
Eric Greitens is by no means perfect, but Eric Schmitt was all over China and the “China Hub”. Schmitt also voted to make it easier for China to buy Missouri farmland.
My husband and I testified at the Missouri capitol about what a bad concept and HUGE mistake it would be to create a “hub” to import Chinese goods. The bottom line is the “hub” would have been a multi-million dollar boon for developer Paul McKee.
Schmitt’s campaign is being financed by SaveAmericaPAC=Rex Sinquefield. Another wealthy St. Louis individual that believes he should be able to dictate the behavior of rural America. More recently, Sam Fox has been donating $$$ – loves China and big government. The corporatists love Schmitt.
Eric Greitens cheated on his wife and from that the George Soros St. Louis DA hired a retired FBI investigator to prosecute Greitens. Later, the FBI investigator plead guilty to evidence tampering and DA Gardner admitted wrongdoing. Sheena Greiten’s sister works for a political consulting firm who represents clients such as Mitch McConnell. Eric Greitens has stated he would vote against McConnell for majority leader.
Greitens had a China connection, too; I don’t like that about either of them.
Thanks for the background on Schmitt’s financiers. It’s disheartening. Thanks for standing up for Missourians with your testimony.
Sadly, there wasn’t anyone I was really excited to vote for in that over-crowded primary. Why were there so many candidates? Republicans had to spend boatloads of money for the primary while the Democrat is unopposed, and a member of the Busch beer family I presume based on her name.
Missourians could have had better choices. I despise the Chinese connections of both front runner “Erics.”
Oh, and Greiten banned guns at the Capitol until there was too much backlash. 🙁
I found a link on Greitens and his Young Global Leader honoree in North America in 2013:
https://en.everybodywiki.com/List_of_Young_Global_Leaders#2013
Yes, Eric Greitens was a Democrat for many years.
So was Presidents Reagan, Trump, Steve Bannon.
That’s not the point. He was a Young Global Leader for the World Economic Forum. That’s the problem.
With 21 candidates, many GOPe types, there are going to be many unhappy campers tonight.
Primaries are just like tryouts for a baseball team……not everyone gets picked …… it is up to the coach to decide.
As for President Trump’s strategy…….. he gets an A+.
He rope-a-doped the other team’s whole GOPe general management gang headed up by mitch-in-the-ditch.

Dave Shatz is the reason we had a gas tax increase in Missouri. He bottled up all other legislation until he got this tax that had to be styled a “rebate” eligible increase to get around the Hancock Amendment.
Hartzler called the January 6 participants insurrectionists.
Greitens also created an office of COO and put a man in that position not from Missouri who eventually resigned a year or so ago. My grassroots contacts applauded his resignation as they said that appointee was a new world order type. Regardless, I don’t find it MAGA to be creating new positions presumably tax payers have to support. We have plenty of bureaucracy already.
I don’t get this endorsement from President Trump. He always endorses with the first and last name.
Appears that he punted by not putting in a last name
“I trust the Great People of Missouri, on this one, to make up their own minds . . .” – Love our VSG-PDJT!
He’s trusting the voters of Missouri. Excellent move; and very funny too since both Eric’s in the race are claiming ownership of the endorsement.
There are two canadates named eric.
Yup.
LOL
I got a kick out of this endorsement. Trump was in a no win situation and made the best of it.
The GOP chair is rumored to have directly intervened and asked Trump not to endorse anyone. So he didn’t whilst trolling her ass.
LOL
I just don’t like Greitens. He came and spoke to the Republican Committee in St Louis County during the primary for Governor. He said all the right things but it sounded like a canned speech, not sincere. Slimy.
On the other side, Schmitt has DONE all the right things as AG. He has proven stats. My only hesitation on Schmitt is that I think he might be more valuable as AG than as Senator.
I chose Schmitt, but was prepared to change if Trump endorsed his opponent. But with Trump saying he’ll leave it to the people of Missouri to decide, I’m voting for Schmitt.
I didn’t hear anymore about this yesterday so this AM I figured I would on OAN. Their lead up was that it was a head scratcher, then I find out it is Greitens. I must’ve missed the part about why that was such a head scratcher.
Just looked at a sample ballot and there are 3, count ’em 3, Eric’s on the MO Republican ballot for U.S. Senator. Besides the 2 everyone is discussing there is also an Eric McElroy. Has he also accepted the endorsement?
Trump endorsed Tudor Dixon for governor in Michigan. I’m voting for Kelley, who was arrested in a January 6 witchhunt, probably precluding Trump’s endorsement. Dixon is a GOPe tool, I believe, but we’ll see. Reinke is probably better too, but Kelley is a firebrand and we need that.
Rona GOP Chairwoman (spit) apparently got involved and asked Trump not to endorse anyone
So Trump did an epic Troll and endorsed “Eric” ______ no last name.
Suck it!
