MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE GRANNY SMELLS LIKE CAT PEE: More Democrat Senate Candidates to Skip Convention

By Amelia

In case you missed it, Missouri senate candidate Jason Kander's sudden "scheduling conflict" makes him the latest to join a growing number of high-profile Democrat senate candidates planning to skip the Democratic National Convention next week. A report from The Hill rounds up the dodging Dems:

Campaigns for Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) confirmed to The Hill that the candidates won't attend the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The report goes on to note that Iowa's Patty Judge and North Carolina's Deborah Ross are both hedging on whether and/or for how long they will attend the DNC.

With Secretary Clinton's poll numbers tanking in battleground states, it looks like down-ballot Democrats are increasingly eager to distance themselves from their damaged nominee.

...
The three Democratic hopefuls are in competitive Senate races that could determine which party controls the upper chamber next year. Democrats needs to pick up five Senate seats — four if they keep the presidency — to win the majority.

Both Kirkpatrick and Cortez Masto are expected to use the week to campaign. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), whom Kirkpatrick will likely face off against in November, also skipped his party's convention this week in Cleveland...

...Meanwhile, Jason Kander, a Democrat running to unseat Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), is also skipping the party powwow citing a scheduling conflict...

...Meanwhile, Jason Kander, a Democrat running to unseat Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), is also skipping the party powwow citing a scheduling conflict.

It's not just Hillary's unpopularity. It's that she smells like cat pee. Seriously, that's what I heard.
