Some interesting context — McCaskill is railing on the left, after losing reelection on the same ballot that voters passed a minimum wage increase: https://t.co/g1UFnz6u8o https://t.co/JEHh6GX3uO— David Sirota (@davidsirota) December 20, 2018

Interesting that McCaskill lost elecfion in a state where “right-to-work” was defeated by a two-to-one margin. https://t.co/vptLUxByvC

Maybe Claire McKaskill lost her bid for reelection because she did not reflect the values of her state, but rather she reflected the values of the Wall Street banksters.
People split tickets.
Yes they do, but when someone campaigns on being a "Business Friendly" Democrat in a state that supports unions and minimum wage increases, it's not just bad policy, it is bad politics.
