Daily Kos' look at the 2018 race for U. S. Senate notes the precarious position that incumbent Claire McCaskill will be in if she seeks re-election.
The state made a strong turn toward the Republican party earlier this month and that poses trouble for McCaskill, who may not have won a second term if she had not been able to push GOP voters toward Todd Akin four years ago.
The Republican establishment's choice candidate would be likely be Congresswoman Ann Wagner, according to the article, but two other possibilities noted were Seventh District Congressman Billy Long and Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler:
Other possibilities mentioned in a new Politico piece include Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long. Hartzler is a religious conservative in the Akin mold and an anti-gay jihadist. Long, meanwhile, is a classic tea partying outsider (before he came to Congress, he was an auctioneer), and he beat several established politicians in the GOP primary in 2010. He'd be the perfect person to try something like that again.

Josh Hawley for Senate! Billy is one pork chop away from a coronary....sad...
This has to be a joke. Is it April 1st already? Please say that this cannot happen or if it does then Missouri will probably have some of the dumbest citizens in the world except for Kansas. This person, cannot in good conscience say its name, cannot even be considered to be a legal candidate for dog catcher let alone a senator. Nope, this is not something a good person would put in print Randy just before the holiday season. You are a true "humbug" and should be ashamed of yourself.

The joke is on all the pinheads that persist in voting republican.
Maybe then he'll finally get those Duke boys.
Billy will make a great Senator. How can you do anything wrong if you never do anything?
The only thing Billy will take down is a large sandwich
Mr. Billy! Senator. God help us.
There is nothing more disgusting than a dirt poor Missouri rock farmer who actually believes that Billy Long is going to do anything to make their pathetic lives better. Billy is in it for the expense account which allows him to eat, drink and gamble on taxpayer money. Remember, when he loses, it is your money but when he wins, then it is his money. Southwest Missouri is chronically stupid and there is nothing that will fix that.
The Hog Market crashed for the first time since 1998, based upon the news that Billy Long has been reelected to Congress.
