Former Missouri Senators break down last night’s Missouri Primary

Former Missouri Senators John Lamping and Jeff Smith join Mark Reardon to discuss their thoughts on last night's primary, who won & lost, and how it will affect Missouri down the line.

“I would think Eric Greitens political career is over, but he probably has one or two more comebacks left in him? I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in some kind of right wing media role now,” Former Missouri Senator Jeff Smith stated.

Later, Former Missouri Senator John Lamping said, “It's really hard to primary an incumbent from the middle. This goes, this is true on either side. And, what Jane [Dueker] tried to do was basically kind of take him on from the center and that's just not a place where you win primaries at this point in American politics.”
