Claire is an idiot and does the Dem establishment's bidding. She's a useful foot soldier and will happily trot out the talking points of the day. She faces almost assured political destruction in 2018 because there's no way Missouri is going to re-elect her, assuming the Republicans don't nominate someone like Aiken. Missouri has an open primary and many democrats were told to vote for Aiken and a lot of Republicans were scratching their head as to why. Then they found out. The Dems had this thing he said all along and played the long game. The chances of them pulling this sort of thing off again is slim, and Missouri went for Trump bigly.
