"“There’s a lot of pressure on Hawley to perform as a Senate candidate and this is one of Republicans’ top takeover opportunities, so there’s pressure to deliver,” he said. “He’s going to need every Republican voter in the state whether it’s Trump Republicans or Danforth Republicans. You can’t beat Claire McCaskill with just one part of the Republican party.”

"Richard Osborne, 46, plans to travel to Trump’s event from Galena, Mo., a town 40 miles southwest of Springfield. Osborne, who is disabled, said that he used to be a Democrat but has embraced Trump despite concerns that Republican health care plans could adversely affect him.

“I’m handicapped and I should be a Democrat because I’m handicapped. But I want to ‘Make America Great Again.’ And I’m willing to be a martyr to make America great again. If my insurance gets messed up, I’m fine with that,” Osborne said in a phone call.

“I do want to see America great again because I’m scared for my children. The way the world looks, the way America looks. I think we’re going to be overpopulated,” he continued. “I remember when I was a kid you didn’t have to lock your front door. You didn’t have to be scared... I remember when America was great and I want to get back to those times.”

FUCK YOU Osborne. You luvvvvv Trump so much then have fun losing your health care coverage. When it's rolled back to pre-ACA let us know just WHAT insurer would start coverage on someone who is already disabled.

You and Trump deserve each other............

I call bullshit. The republicans have been using this tactic for over 20 years, as any CSPAN watcher can tell you. They pretend to be disgruntled Democrats who are leaving the party, and they want to take along as many others as they can. This guy was never a Democrat. All one has to do is look at his litany of "I'm scared" comments to know that. Being scared is the hallmark of a right-wing bed-wetter, not a Democrat.

The old tired "what do I tell my children" or "I'm scared for my children". Right out of the Newt Gingrich playbook when the Lewinsky affair happened. Then years later with all the Republican feigned outraged at seeing a glimpse of Janet Jackson's tit that they had to watch it replayed a 100 times.

Anytime you hear or read that line of BS it's from a long time Republican,not a former Dem turned Republican.
