Desperate for material, Politico posted a feature on Seventh District Congressman Billy Long and Missouri's U. S. Senate race today.
The article notes Trump's multiple efforts to convince former president Donald Trump to endorse him, all of which have been unsuccessful to this point.
During their August meeting at Trump Tower, Long argued to Trump that if Republicans nominate someone other than him to keep retiring Sen. Roy Blunt's (R-Mo.) seat red, the GOP might have to spend as much as $50 million in the state — money better spent in Arizona and Georgia. Channeling his past as an auctioneer, Long pitched himself as the equivalent of a “three-for-one” sale for Trump.
The sales job hasn't worked on Trump yet.
Long says that once Trump makes his endorsement, the race is over.
