Claire McCaskill slammed as ‘poster child’ for term limits in new ad

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., is the “poster child” for the importance of term limits, according to a new attack ad.

Conservative super PAC Missouri Rising Action is launching a digital ad on Thursday that charts McCaskill’s political career from 1982 until today, even invoking the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series win that year to prove a point about her decades of time in office. “1982, the Cardinals won the World Series, Reagan was in the White House, and Claire McCaskill first sought political office,” a narrator says, as old pictures of McCaskill flash across the screen. “Thirty-six years later, McCaskill is still running. And now, McCaskill is one of the richest senators, and she is still voting with Washington liberals and the Hollywood elite.”
