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.

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…

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