JEFFERSON CITY As Missouri Gov. Mike Parson gears up to run for his first full term next year, there are rumblings of rebellion on his right flank.

Some conservatives in the state, frustrated by what they regard as Parson’s too-moderate agenda, would like to see the incumbent Republican draw a primary challenge.

Others are still stinging from the downfall of former Gov. Eric Greitens, who Parson replaced last summer after an avalanche of scandals and criminal charges forced him to resign to avoid criminal prosecution and impeachment.

For now, it’s highly unlikely Parson will face a real threat from within his own party in 2020. But interviews with lawmakers, legislative staff, Capitol lobbyists and political activists reveal unrest among conservatives who grumble that Parson does not reflect the mood of the party or the state.

I voted for him.... he was guilty... a want a be good guy who did indeed do the dirty... IF he was NOT guilty he would not have resigned ... they had the goods on him... People need to be 'loved', and they like water seek their own level.

Yes... He 'appeared' to be better than the dim candidate ... but turned out he was a wolf in sheep clothing... Nobody can ever accuse me of 'anti-semitism'.. He sure talked a good game... but turned out to be quite the deceiver.. seems to be a pattern...

Yep. Every time I think I’m becoming an OK judge of character, some politician proves me wrong.

Typical leftist propaganda aimed at undermining Republicans.
