    Who is Farnham? Hopefully he's a real pube but very likely he's a MAGAt. There's no hope for missouri.

    6:14 Mark served on Joplin City Council. He supported Jill Carter, which Benny is supposedly going to primary in '26. Interesting summer ahead.

    Sounds like Jill Carter is scared of being primaried in 2 years so she called upon one of her cronies. It won’t work. Ben has an excellent conservative voting record unlike Bill White.

    At this point even Martin Lindsteadt is better than Ben Baker. Deaton and Baker will have to run Carter eventually as they term limit out. Finding real jobs could be tough.

      2024 could be a good year in Newton County. No Baker, Cook, or Osborn.

    Baker needs a few more years in orfice to be eligible for fully eligible for his wingnut welfare.
    All one can say right now about his prospects is that so far he's a solid #2, but not quite MOSEN material yet.

    Baker isn't a true conservative. The term has been hijacked by MAGA idiots. Of course, this is the same group of people who will vote for a thrice married guy who has to pay a porn star to have sex with him. The same guy who evaded military service but claims to be smarter than any general (Biden is POS too, BTW). Trump embodies the Seven Deadly Sins on a daily basis, and everyone is enthralled with him for some reason. We are f***** as a country. Trump vs Biden is like Crap vs Crap. I will just tell people I voted for the crooked old guy.

    Good job ! @ 11:02 AM...... I knew there would be at least one "But Trump...." make its way into the echo chamber. To hear the commenters here on the Turner "Report" the list of Democrat candidates would be too many to count. Yet nothing.....again.

    What's the point? The orange fat bastard says our elections are rigged. Maybe if you MAGAt people would vote this idiot and the deplorables who worship him out of office, this country can return to its rightful moral standing in the world.
